This essay collection takes issue with the way in which sociologists usually represent Bourdieu's influential theory of cultural reproduction. Despite Bourdieu's sometimes positive views of this phenomenon, sociologists of culture have nevertheless focused only on his negative views of this subject, in which he describes reproduction as imitation rather than as a form of regeneration and synthesis. The contributors explore the critical potential of alternative views of reproduction from the schools of ethnomethodology, Durkheimianism, structuralism and poststructuralism. In the process, they address an unusually wide spectrum of related issues including postmodernism, gender roles, the fine arts, film, journalism, education, consumerism, style, language and sociology.
