In this work, Pierre Bourdieu turns his attention to the academic world and offers an analysis of modern intellectual culture. The academy is shown to be not just a realm of dialogue and debate, but also a sphere of power in which reputations and careers are made, defended and destroyed. Bourdieu constructs a map of the intellectual field in France and analyses the forms of capital power, the lines of conflict and the patterns of change which characterize the system of higher education in France today.

Very Good. This is the original French edition of the work by the eminent French sociologist in which he turns his attention to the academic world of which he is part and offers a brilliant analysis of modern intellectual culture; the academy is shown to be not just a realm of dialogue and debate, but also a sphere of power in which reputations and careers are made, defended, and destroyed; text in French (black pictorial cover is rubbed with faint corner crease, pages slightly tanned; otherwise a good, clean, tight copy)
