This book seeks to examine the contribution of Pierre Bourdieu towards the theory of symbolic. Explaining the intellectual warp and woof of his theory of the symbolic, it explores its potential to illuminate social contexts other than those in which it was conceived.
It further examines its links with Bourdieu’s role of a social critic and public intellectual, and moves on to an exposition of his critique of neoliberalism, highlighting how symbolism is an important dimension of the global phenomenon. Finally, it analyzes the impact of Bourdieu’s social theory on sociological theory in general and in the context of French social theory in particular.
