Edición de la obra Pierre Bourdieu

Pierre Bourdieu{u2019}s ideas have had a major impact on a number of fields of inquiry.

This book addresses how Bourdieu{u2019}s ideas can be used to raise questions concerning: media production, media audiences, symbolic authority, and the history of communication study. The result is a compact but comprehensive volume that gives the reader a sense of the scope and relevance of Bourdieu{u2019}s ideas to a wide range of domains of study in communication research. --Provided by publisher.
