ABSTRACT

Since the death of Pierre Bourdieu, his legacy has continued to evolve, and his work to be taken up in new and varied ways by scholars interested in different aspects of his critical sociology. The variety of subject and approach taken in the chapters contained in this volume reflects the richness and complexity of Bourdieu’s legacy. The contributors write from a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, and take up many different topics to which Bourdieu’s work is relevant, from the habitus of indigenous Australian women to the place of ghosts in the city, from the strategic responsibilities of urban planners to the persistence of colonialism.
