ABSTRACT
Pierre Bourdieu a sociologist, anthropologist, philosopher who critically discusses economism that considers the traditional state of trade in goods and services, both in traditional societies or in Europe until the early eighteenth century, by using modern concepts of the economy. In accordance with this statement, the book develops the anthropological premise of the existence of a plurality of cultures in the world, characterized by their own values and goals. In order to draw all the conclusions that flow from the choice of a continuous description, author first discusses the games of scales that lie at the origin of the analysis proposed in this volume. He then explores the rational dimensions of culture and aesthetics. Originality of Political Aesthetics: Culture, Critique and the Everyday lies in the description of the dialogical movement of these new facets of aesthetic involvement. Finally, author will conclude by examining the closely connected yet opposed concepts of aestheticization and ritualization.
