He examines the individuals and institutions involved in making cultural products what they are: not only the writers and artists, but also the publishers, critics, dealers, galleries, and academies. He analyzes the structure of the cultural field itself as well as its position within the broader social structures of power. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays in his volume examine such diverse topics as Flaubert's point of view, Manet's aesthetic revolution, the historical creation of the pure gaze, and the relationship between art and power. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Field of Cultural Porduction will be of interest to students and scholars from a wide range of disciplines: sociology and social theory, literature, art, and cultural studies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePierre Bourdieu is professor of Sociology at the College de France.
