PIERRE BOURDIEU MEMORIAL READINGS (SPONSORED BY MANDORLA)

Directed by Gabriel Gudding

Some events co-sponsored by the ISU Department of English &
most hosted by the ever-excellent University Galleries

The "Pierre Bourdieu Memorial Readings Series" is so-named to commemorate the
contributions of this important sociologist to a critical understanding of a
range of phenomena specific to the field of cultural production against which,
in which, and through which social actors such as writers, readers, students
and professors create, consecrate, fetishize, and disparage. Bourdieu's
theories and methodologies provide unusually perspicuous tools with which to
correct subtle and pervasive injustices in the field and to envision the
possibility of a community of friendly makers less beholden to the illusions of
aestheticism, the fetish of the author, and the preciosity of writing -- for a
closer, sparer, clearer relation of use, wonder, kindness, being, love, world.
