Reflections on the Legacy of Pierre Bourdieu

Pierre Bourdieu wasn't fond of the honour and mundane ritual of celebration. However, his death certainly doesn't give us the opportunity to escape such rituals. I would like to recall a few personal memories, and present some theoretical reflections about Bourdieu's legacy. Pierre Bourdieu the Professor In the Fall of 1970,1 was a doctoral student at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes etudes in Paris. Pierre Bourdieu was my supervisor. He had just published Metier de Sociologue (The Craft of Sociology) with J. Chamboredon and J.C. Passeron in 1968, and La Reproduction (Reproduction in Education) with J.C. Passeron in 1970. One of his projects at that time was to finish his theoretical reflections on sociological practice in a book called Esquisse d'une thorie de la pratique (Outline of a Theory of Practice), which would eventually be published in 1972. His two leitmotivs were, in his own words: 1. My academic project is to train the best sociologists in the world; and 2. My intellectual project is to elaborate a theory of practice. I am, as you can understand, enthusiastic. Every week, at the rue de Tournon and, later, boulevard Raspail, he met with his students. He preferred the formula of the seminar, where he presented the results of his research to a smaller audience. While he always had a written paper in front of him, he liked to improvise, introducing questions and injecting comments into his own work. Reflexivity was very much apart of his work. His classes were a kind of laboratory: he presented new ideas, and tested new hypotheses. His objective was to transmit to his students the habitus of the researcher: intellectual rigor, seriousness, and teamwork moving back and forth from theory to empirical investigation. He liked to say that the sociologist walks with big boots, and that most of his own experiments dealt with things that appeared visible and obvious. And he was right! While he certainly had philosophical leanings (such as Merleau-Ponty and Witgenstein) and epistemological concerns -- as his work affirms --, Pierre Bourdieu never disconnected his theoretical reflections from the study of concrete problems or objects (as seen in his examinations of the Kabile household, matrimonial strategies in the Bearn, workers in Algeria, and European Museums, photography and the school system in France). He liked polemics (as illustrated by his opposition to Levi-Strauss, structural Marxism, symbolic interactionism, and, later, postmodernism), defended eclecticism (in Marx, Durkheim and Weber, for instance), and supported interdisciplinarity (in disciplines such as anthropology, linguistics, economics, history and political science). He also rejected canonical dichotomies (such as determinism/liberty, subjectivism/objectivism, and structure/history). One of his most important works during this period was the translation and the publication of his collection Le sens commun at the Editi ons de Minuit. This text included the work of many American, English and German authors: Panofsky, Cassirer, Bateson, Goffman, Labov, Bernstein, Richard Hoggart, Marcuse, Ralph Linton, Edward Sapir, Joseph Schumpeter, and Radclife-Brown. Pierre Bourdieu's Last Lecture at the College de France. Pierre Bourdieu's last lecture at the College de France was on March 27, 2001, at the Rue des Ecoles, Amphi. Marguerite-de-Navarre. More than five hundred people were in attendance, including some former students and collaborators: Patrick Champagne, Remi Lenoir, Bernard Lacroix, Jean-Claude Combessie, and Francien Dreyfus. Bourdieu's talk was entitled Sociology of the scientific field and reflexivity. With his last lecture at the College de France, Bourdieu the sociologist returned to the study of knowledge, the most prestigious object in philosophy, but with a twist: he discussed the structural perspective that he introduced in the field of sociology. …

Manet-Caravaggio : the Tentative Object

Berne-Joffroy’s book, published in 1959 by Les Editions de Minuit, is one of the handful of important books on art history written in French. The originality of the method, the scope of the theoretical issues raised, and the critic’s style guaranteed it a readership well beyond the circle of specialists who make up the actual object of the Dossier. At that time, Caravaggio represented the supreme figure of an overlooked, scorned artist, in the process of being brought back to life, highlighte...

La mise a L'épreuve du nouveau roman. Six cent cinquante fiches de lecture d'Alain Robbe-Grillet (1955-1959)

« Dis-moi comment tu classes, je te dirai qui tu es ». Roland BARTHES, cité par Alain ROBBE-GRILLET lors d'une intervention au Jeu de paume, le 22 septembre 1998Un centième seulement de la production culturelle brute d'une époque est publié. C'est là un constat trop souvent négligé lorsque Ton s'interroge, après Jean-Paul Sartre sur Qu'est-ce que la litterature ?(Gallimard, 1948). Si la lecture est assurément « un rêve libre », un « exercice de générosite », elle est aussi un acte dirigé : on ne lit jamais que ce qui est donné à lire au terme d'une sélection culturelle peu connue dans ses principes, méconnue dans ses effets. La lecture décisive, quel que soit le texte, n'est presque jamais mentionnée et reste d'autant plus secrète qu'elle est anonyme.

Minor Media - Heterogenic Machines

Minor Media - Heterogenic Machines

Félix and Gilles's Tempestuous, Monstrous Machines

The concept of the machine circulates in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in highly abstracted terms, yet they frequently maintained that it was not to be understood as a metaphor. This paper draws on the example of the film Forbidden Planet to explore the potential for cinematic representation to convey the terms under which Deleuze and Guattari ask us to imagine the machinic complex.

EN ATTENDANT GODOT ON MICHEL POLAC'S ENTREE DES AUTEURS

In fall 1995, it was quite by chance that I met Michel Polac, who is perhaps best known in France as a famous radio and television producer, but who is also a writer, filmmaker, and literary critic of some renown. Among his avant-garde credentials, what is likely to matter most to readers of Samuel Beckett Today/Aujourd'hui is not so much his selling books for J6r6me Lindon at a time ? 1948-49 ? when the Editions de Minuit (including its bookstore) was still located at the intersection of boulevards St. Germain and St. Michel, as his being the first, at twenty-one, to launch En attendant Godot into the world, or at least into the Paris of 1952. As only the barest reference has been made to this event coming almost a year before the opening of the play at the Theatre de Babylone, I met the producer several times in Paris to talk about his February 1952 Godot broadcast.1 I also listened to a tape of the program at the INA phonoth&que located in the Maison de Radio France opposite the Isle of Swans. Polac recalls that it was the publication of Molloy and Malone meurt in 1951 that first brought Beckett to his attention. That same year the poet and playwright Jean Tardieu, who in 1946 had taken on the direction of the experimental Club d'Essai service of Radiodiffusion Franchise, accepted the young Polac's proposal for a program introducing authors on the air who had received public grants for their first plays. These were heady years, Polac recalls, and hopes ran high that a new era of cultural politics would counter the academic conservatism of the past. Jean Vilar's ThSStre National Populaire exemplified this cultural climate as did the Arts et Lettres committee established to provide grants for the production of first plays. Jeanne Laurent, the director of the Arts et Lettres in the equivalent of the present culture ministry, provided Polac with the committee's award winning manuscripts. From this cache of plays he would select perhaps one out of twenty to present on the bimonthly program that he had fittingly dubbed Entree des auteurs, a witty play on entree des artistes, a door reserved for performing artists, and on making an entrance. Polac had the good sense, particularly impressive considering the number of theatres that had turned it down, to be bowled over by Godot when he first ran across it among the manuscripts sent by Laurent.

THE SECOND ENGLISIllNG OF ELEUTHERIA

A review of Barbara Wright's translation of Eleuthéria, Samuel Beckett's first full-length play in French, written in 1947. The posthumous publication history of Beckett's original text by Les Editions de Minuit (Paris), the first translation by Michael Brodsky into English, published by Foxrock Inc. (New York) and Wright's translation is briefly sketched. The two English translations are compared and Wright's is found not only superior but also eminently actable.

Hebrew at the crossroads of cultures: From outgoing antiquity to the Middle Ages by Haiim B. Rosen (review)

678 LANGUAGE, VOLUME 74, NUMBER 3 (1998) (205-9) concludes that so-called negation raising is not the result of movement but a genuine functional opposition which indicates whetherthe matrix verb is within the scope ofthe negator. Ch. 10 (211-20) provides a suggested parameterization ofthe typological behavior ofnegation and concludes that the data confirm the existence of a central Romance-Germanic core area within Europe. The volume is completed with notes (221-45) —inconveniently not at the bottom of the relevant pages, references (247-60), and indices oflanguages (265-70) and authors (271-74) cited. I observed very few typographical errors, but might note that the English is somewhat unusual at times. [Joseph F. Eska, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.] Hebrew at the crossroads of cultures: From outgoing antiquity to the Middle Ages. By Haiim B. Rosen. Leuven: Peeters, 1995. Pp. 86. This is a supplement to the Belgian journal Orbis, publishedby the Centre international de dialectologie générale in Louvain. It represents further thoughts by Rosen, one oftoday's most outstanding Hebraists and Classicists, on the linguistic situation in Roman Palestine, first enunciated in his L'hébreu et ses rapports avec le monde classique (1979. Paris: Geuthner) and 'Die Sprachsituation in römischen Pal ästina' (1980. Die Sprachen im Römischen Reich der Kaiserzeit = Beihefte der Bonner Jahrbücher 40:215-39). The first two chapters of this well-researched monograph deal with Palestine as a linguistic area (5-21) and the language of the Roman Jews (23-29) who were, according to the author, Greek monolinguals (28). Demonstrating a Jewish component to the dialect spoken by the Jews of Rome, R proposes some Kulturw örter, which seem more than plausible, e.g. Greek meletan 'expound' has been influenced by the Hebrew-Aramaic drs 'expound' (27). R also posits 'some sort of "Judeo-Latin" ' (26), e.g. metuere sabbata 'observe the Sabbath' (the Latin verb means 'fear') is thought to be a caique of Hebrew smr 'guard' (27-28). This and other examples mentioned are convincing. One of the major theses of this investigation is what R calls the 'probable instances of the penetration of Greek elements of Jewish usage into Vulgar Latin' (28). Examples discussed include: lapis 'stone' > petra; singuli 'each and every (one)' > caduno; and circa 'around' > environs (29). Illustrations less probable include items such as apotheca 'shopping place; trading place', which has yielded the Romance word-family of boutique, in addition to German Apotheke 'pharmacy' (30-32). Although it is always difficult to ascertain meanings in ancient texts, it is conceivable that an aspect of an early Judeo-Greek meaning has been preserved in the passage from the Babylonian Talmud cited: 'a repository , especially for wine' (30, n. 76). The numerous semantic shifts studied are particularly fascinating. Consider the intriguing case of 'pen case' > 'ink well' for Latin calamarium (32-33). It is precisely the latter meaning which has been responsible for the development of kalamari 'cuttlefish ' in modern Greek and other languages of the Mediterranean area (cf. Spanish calamar 'squid') 'by equating it to some kind of container of coloured fluid' (33). Ch. 3, modeled on Emile Benveniste's seminal Le vocabulaire des institutions indo-européennes (1969. Paris: Éditions de Minuit) studies 'the Jewish contribution to the formation of the vocabulary of the institutions of medieval Europe' (41-53). There are some remarkable semological similarities in Greek ß?????, Latin pax, and Hebrew sâlom, all meaning 'peace' (42-47). In similar fashion, R compares the Hebrew root qds 'holy' with Latin sanctus 'sanctity' (47-53). The reason for the resemblance lies in the logical assumption that the Latin translators ofthe Bible were familiar with Hebrew concepts. Ch. 4 deals entirely with the nature of Medieval Hebrew (MH) (55-76). Following in the footsteps of the late Eduard Yechezkel Kutscher in his posthumous History of the Hebrew language (1982. Ed. by Raphael Kutscher, Jerusalem: Magnes Press), the author reaffirms the position that there are 'several Medieval Hebrews' (56)—a point of view which is based on socioculturel evidence. R makes a good case that one must speak of an Arabicized MH as opposed to other coordinate varieties (58). This work can be...

Cats in space Baudelaire's “les chats” read by Jakobson and Lévi-Strauss

Abstract Jakobson was an exceptional reader of poetry, and yet not what the world would call a literary critic 2 Cf. Roman Jakobson, Question de poetique, edited by Tzvetan Todorov, Ed. du Seuil, Paris 1973. . He often co-authored analyses of poetry, and his formal approach aimed at something as objective as any other fact of language he analysed; this cooperative, objective, and formal attitude had to attract the structural anthropologist Levi-Strauss' intellectual attention, and as much in the scientifically glorious years around 1960, when “‘Les chats’ de Charles Baudelaire” was written in collaboration, as it had done on the methodological level, back in 1942, at the Ecole libre des Hautes Etudes de New York. 3 Claude Levi-Strauss later prefaced Roman Jakobsons early New York course, Six lecons sur le son et le sens, Ed. de Minuit, Paris 1976.

La littérature saisie par l'histoire

Literature in the grip of history The present article is not a study of the "Nouveau Roman", but rather a reflection on the conditions necessary for the break in French esthetics in the late 1950s. The new avenues opened up by the history of publishing and a sociological approach concerned with the production of symbolic goods authorize a rethinking of publishers' choices, which ensured the promotion of this literary movement. The Nouveau Roman has become inseparable from the Editions de Minuit. But this was not a forgone conclusion : the Editions du Seuil, who published Jean Cayrol, the first theoretician of the "Lazarist novel" (i.e. literature of redemption through suffering), should have been the logical ones to promote this avant-garde movement. Initially, unwilling to shoulder the costs of an avant-garde editorial strategy, Le Seuil, via Roland Barthes, helped the Editions de Minuit launch a new esthetic of the novel : Alain Robbe-Grillet became Jean Cayrol's natural successor. This aberrant succession - due to the recent past, the war (Cayrol had fought in the Resistance and been deported ; Robbe-Grillet, a follower of Marshal Petain, had done his stint at volunteer labor in Germany) -was made possible by the Editions de Minuit. How is it imaginable that one of the most public authors, the de facto if not official literary director of the publishing house born of the Resistance, could be "on the other side". From this standpoint it is not so much at the thematic level that one needs to think the all-important relationship between the Nouveau Roman and the War but at the level of its writing and its place of publication. The second crucial repercussion the Editions de Minuit had on the Nouveau Roman's accession to avant-garde status was their stand against the war in Algeria. For the break with current esthetics embodied by the Nouveau Roman to appear, Minuit had to come into conflict with the master of the hour, Jean-Paul Sartre and the dominant literary trend of the moment : "litterature engagée". By publishing subversive texts on the Algerian war at the same time as it was bringing out "pure literature", the Nouveau Roman, the Editions de Minuit managed to dissociate literature and politics. Their political commitment reminiscent of the "Dreyfus Affair" together with their disqualification of "engaged literature" helped bolster intellectuals' break with the Communist Party, but it also bore the seeds of another radical change : since Emile Zola, the intellectual had been inseparable from the man of letters ; with the writer dethroned, who was now going to embody the figure of the intellectual?

Introduction

Introduction L E ROM AN DE BALZAC. For over twenty years the phrase had a special meaning, especially with those nouveau romanciers and critiques who wanted to distinguish the New Novel from earlier efforts. Despite spirited defenses by such writers as Michel Butor and Lucien Dàllenbach,1 for Nathalie Sarraute, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Jean Ricardou, and others, le roman de Balzac was a “ système mort,” “ la vieille littérature de Représentation,” “ la sacro-sainte analyse psycholo­ gique,” works of prose rather than “ poésie,” narrations with an overdependence on outmoded conventions and unrealistic plot and character, pathetically transparent fiction which provided no adventures for readers, but rather encouraged the slothful acceptance of radically dis­ tanced stories.2 Le roman de Balzac became the generic term for the “ former” novel, for “ l’ancienne conception du roman” (Sarraute 108). Of course, such a view was by no means the only one. As chapter ten of the forthcoming Cabeen Critical Bibliography o f French Literature: The Nineteenth Century (scheduled for 1992) will make clear, first-class critics continued to read Balzac’s creations and to read them well. Even today La Comédie humaine offers modern readers both significant chal­ lenges and attractive adventures. This issue of L ’Esprit Créateur was suggested to me several years ago at a session devoted to Balzac at the Colloquium in Nineteenth-Century French Studies. The large room was filled to capacity and included both novice and distinguished Balzacians. Because there was no doubt that a significant portion of the best work on Balzac was being done in North America, I thought that such an issue as this might be useful. Certainly, the studies that follow demonstrate once again that La Comédie humaine can be profitably approached from many different directions and with many different methodological commitments. Individually, I believe the essays add to our knowledge and understanding of Balzac’s work. Together, they demonstrate that le roman de Balzac lives. Allan H. Pasco Notes 1.

Myths, Loose Fits and Near Misses

I shall try to outline some of the problems of mise en relief encountered in the years that I have been translating the work of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. The examples come from translation done in the course of 1988 : a translation of Le Sens pratique (Editions de Minuit, 1980) to be published in 1989 (Polity Press, Oxford) under the title – which itself deserves comment – The Logic of Practice ; and an article by two other sociologists, L. Boltanski and L. Thevenot. I shall talk in En...

Reading Claude Simon: Gender, Ideology, Representation

Reading Claude Simon; Gender, Ideology, Representation Winifred Woodhull R EADERS OF CLAUDE SIMON have, by and large, ignored questions of gender as they inform both his writing and their own critical strategies. Perhaps structuralist critics’inattention to these questions can be explained by what is now acknowledged as their failure to put the human subject into question: insofar as their conception of the text as a closed, autonomous entity preserves the notion of the selfpossessed , unified subject—a subject by definition masculine—it effec­ tively blocks serious reflections on the gender dynamics in Simon’s writ­ ing. The effacement of gender issues in deconstructive interpretations is another matter, however, since the latter claim to demonstrate that uninvestigated assumptions regarding the constitution of the subject underlie every system or order, whether social, linguistic or meta­ physical; Simon’s writing is said to show that a given order acquires its apparent coherence only by repressing or excluding elements that conflict with it. Considering that, since the mid-1970s, French feminists have been drawing attention to the repression of femininity in the Western philo­ sophical and psychoanalytic traditions and showing how literature some­ times eludes the censorship they impose, it seems odd that nearly all readings of Simon’s texts have overlooked gender-related exclusions. A related issue is poststructuralist theory’s tendency to code as “feminine” literature’s undoing of identity, representation, and truth. Recent work by American feminist critics has shown that the association of femininity with writing practices that are presumed to be critical of the prevailing symbolic and social order is problematic for women because it undercuts attempts to affirm female subjective agency as a necessary ele­ ment in feminist politics. This phenomenon, which Alice Jardine has termed gynesis,1 has been taken up by Nancy K. Miller in her essay “Arachnologies: The Woman, the Text, and the Critic.” Citing Roland Barthes’ displacement of the “work” by the “text” and, in particular, his metaphor of the text as “tissue”—that is, a “perpetual interweav­ ing” in which “the subject unmakes himself”2—Miller argues, with Jardine, that “the discourse of the male weavers rhetorically stages ‘woman’ without in any way addressing women,” and that “the lanVOL . XXVII, No. 4 5 L ’E sprit C réateur guage of textiles tends to engender in the dominant discursive strategies of much contemporary literary criticism a metaphorics of femininity deeply marked by Freud’s account of women and weaving.”3One cannot help wondering whether this uncritical réinscription of femininity does not preserve the very masculine prerogatives that are ostensibly being challenged. It may be that male critics’ rejoicing over the textual undoing of the centered subject in novels such as Simon’s, like their confident affirmation of negativity, absence, and death as forces which continually unsettle the foundations of all order, is tied to the fact that they are sure to emerge from the reading process with their privileges intact. I will show how certain key readings of Simon’s La Route des Flandres (Paris: Editions de Minuit, 1960) reinforce the gender hierarchy in our culture by unselfconsciously universalizing masculine experience or overestimating the critical force of the aspects of Simon’s fiction that blur the outlines of identity (including gender identity) and undermine all orders and hierarchies. My point here is to emphasize the complex and conflictual nature of feminism’s relation to contemporary fiction and theories of text production, and to engage with Simon’s writing without neutralizing that relation, that is, without dismissing feminism as an anachronism irrelevant to the interpretation of postmodern texts, but also without ignoring the unsettling effects of postmodernity on feminist interpretation. It is generally agreed that La Route des Flandres, which relates the defeat of the French army in 1940, articulates the disintegration of various dimensions of a social order. No military chart can adequately represent the debacle; no coherent historical narrative can definitively account for the relation between the death of the aristocratic cavalry officer de Reixach and that of his ancestor in the Revolutionary period; no transcendent system can resolve the contradictions or fill in the gaps in Georges’s memories, fantasies, and speculations regarding the ancestor’s death or that...
