Chapters by both American and French scholars also demonstrate methods for measuring field autonomy and spatially mapping journalistic fields, or discuss the similarities and differences between field theory, new institutionalism, hegemony, and differentiation theory. Rejecting all forms of dogmatism, the authors in this volume demonstrate why field theory remains a \"work in progress,\" and indeed, a research paradigm whose promise has only begun to be tapped.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book includes an important and hitherto unpublished text by Pierre Bourdieu, 'Fields of Journalism, Social Science and Politics', and contributions from Rodney Benson, Patrick Champagne, Eric Darras, Julien Duval, Daniel Hallin, Eric Klinenberg, Dominique Marchetti, Erik Neveu, and Michael Schudson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgments. \u003cp\u003eList of Contributors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 1\u003c\/i\u003e Introduction: Field Theory as a work in Progress - Rodney Benson and Erik Neveu.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART I: THEORETICAL ORIENTATIONS.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 2\u003c\/i\u003e The Political Field, The Social Science Field, and the Journalistic Field - Pierre Bourdieu.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 3\u003c\/i\u003e The Double Dependency: The Journalistic Field Between Politics and Markets - Patrick Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 4\u003c\/i\u003e Sub-Fields of Specialized Journalism - Dominique Marchetti.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART II: COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 5\u003c\/i\u003e Mapping Field Variation: Journalism in France and the United States - Rodney Benson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 6\u003c\/i\u003e The Contaminated Blood Scandal: Reframing Medical News - Patrick Champagne and Dominique Marchetti.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 7\u003c\/i\u003e Economic Journalism in France - Julien Duval.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 8\u003c\/i\u003e Media Consercration of the Political Order - Eric Durras.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChapter 9\u003c\/i\u003e Channeling into the Journalistic Field: Youth Activism and the Media Justice Movement - Eric Klinenberg.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART III : CRITICAL REFLECTIONS.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Bourdieu, the Frankfurt School and Cultural Studies: On Some Misunderstandings - Erik Neveu.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Autonomy from What? - Michael Schudson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Two Approaches to Comparative Media Research: Field Theory and Differentiation Theory - Daniel C.
