It is so much in line with our expectations that we struggle to call it fully into question. Pierre Bourdieu's ethnographic analysis of gender divisions in Kabyle society, as a living reservoir of the Mediterranean cultural tradition, provides a potent instrument for disclosing the symbolic structures of the androcentric unconscious which survives in the men and women of our own societies. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eBourdieu analyses masculine domination as a paradigmatic form of symbolic violence - the kind of gentle, invisible, pervasive violence which is exercised through cognition and misrecognition, knowledge and sentiment, often with the unwitting consent of the dominated. To understand this form of domination we must analyse both its invariant features and the historical work of dehistoricization through which social institutions - family, school, church, state - eternalize the arbitrary at the root of men's power. This analysis leads directly to the political question: can we neutralize the mechanisms through which history is continuously turned into nature, thereby freeing the forces of change and accelerating the incipient transformations of the relations between the sexes?\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new book by Pierre Bourdieu - which has been a bestseller in France - will be essential reading for students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities and for anyone concerned with questions of gender, sexuality and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface to the English edition: Eternalizing the arbitrary. \u003cp\u003ePrelude.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 A magnified image.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2 Anamnesis of the hidden constants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Permanence and change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Postscript on domination and love.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Appendix: Some questions on the gay and lesbian movement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52483191636248,"sku":"9780745622651","price":14.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745622651.jpg?v=1786023663","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/masculine-domination-paperback-softback-9780745622651","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
