The Administration of Industrial Enterprises, With Special Reference to Factory Practice Book

Another good introduction to Bourdieu's theory, espeacially his "philosophical" aspect.

The first chapter, "Fieldwork in Philosophy", outlines Bourdieu's fundemental concept which is developed and become what we now known as "Theory of Practice": how he breaks with Subjectivism/Objectivism and solve the structure/agency tension. Moreover, in order to understand the "practice", he emphasizes on analyzing agents' action as inseperable from the social space around them, despite the humanism claim of disinterested in the case of artistic field, or of pure knowledge in the case of intellectual fied.

These "breaks", I believe, result in a new way of seeing (and doing) philosophy, literature and science (not to mention social sciences in general). Since most of the chapters included here are the interview sessions, the language is much more penetratacle than of writtern work by Bourdieu himself.
