Towards a Critical Sociology of Dominant Ideologies: An Unexpected Reunion between Pierre Bourdieu and Luc Boltanski
This article aims to demonstrate the enduring relevance of Pierre Bourdieu and Luc Boltanski’s ‘La production de l’idéologie dominante’ [‘The production of the dominant ideology’], which was originally published in Actes de la recherche en sciences sociales in 1976. More than three decades later, in 2008, a re-edited version of this study was printed in book format as La production de l’idéologie dominante, which was accompanied by a detailed commentary, written by Luc Boltanski and entitled Rendre la réalité inacceptable. À propos de « La production de l’idéologie dominante » [Making Reality Unacceptable. Comments on ‘The production of the dominant ideology’]. In addition to containing revealing personal anecdotes and providing important sociological insights, this commentary offers an insider account of the genesis of one of the most seminal pieces Boltanski co-wrote with his intellectual father, Bourdieu. In the Anglophone literature on contemporary French sociology, however, the theoretical contributions made both in the original study and in Boltanski’s commentary have received little – if any – serious attention. This article aims to fill this gap in the literature, arguing that these two texts can be regarded not only as forceful reminders of the fact that the ‘dominant ideology thesis’ is far from obsolete but also as essential for understanding both the personal and the intellectual underpinnings of the tension-laden relationship between Bourdieu and Boltanski. Furthermore, this article offers a critical overview of the extent to which the unexpected, and partly posthumous, reunion between ‘the master’ (Bourdieu) and his ‘dissident disciple’ (Boltanski) equips us with powerful conceptual tools, which, whilst illustrating the continuing centrality of ‘ideology critique’, permit us to shed new light on key concerns in contemporary sociology and social theory. Finally, the article seeks to push the debate forward by reflecting upon several issues that are not given sufficient attention by Bourdieu and Boltanski in their otherwise original and insightful enquiry into the complexities characterizing the daily production of ideology
More on the behaviors of fixed points sets of multifunction and applications
In this paper, we study the behaviors of fixed points sets of non necessarily pseudo-contractive multifunctions. Rather than comparing the images of the involved multifunctions, we make use of some conditions on the fixed points sets to establish general results on their stability and continuous dependence. We illustrate our results by applications to differential inclusions and give stability results of fixed points sets of non necessarily pseudo-contractive multifunctions with respect to the bounded proximal convergence
Cooking with Bimby in a moment of recruitment:Exploring conventions and practice perspectives
Every two minutes, one Bimby is sold somewhere in the world. This multi-food processor
(also known as Thermomix) has gained wide sales success in many southern European
countries and promises to revolutionize the way people cook, learn about cooking, coordinate
and plan food practices at home. In a period where debates about cooking skills are
paradoxical; some voices concerned with deskilling, while others enhance the visibility of
cooking education in the media, this domestic technology is heralded as a ‘magic’ gadget
that turns dreadful cooks into notable ‘chefs’. This processor cannot be purchased in
shops; it is being directly sold by salespersons that make a demonstration in future clients’
houses. These are usually social events where the host invites friends and family for a free
meal swiftly produced by Bimby under the demonstrator’s supervision. Demonstrators
can be seen as cultural intermediaries both marketing the product and conveying normative
and symbolic messages about cooking, and also instructing on technology use. The
event mixes economic, social and cultural elements, and offers a good illustration of the
cultural economy workings operating in it. Based upon a case study of a demonstration –
seen as a moment of recruitment of new cooking practitioners – the article examines
issues around cooking competence informed by theories of practice (Shove and Pantzar,
2005; Shove et al., 2007) and conventions theory (Boltanski and The´venot, 2006 [1991];
The´venot, 2006). It is suggested that bringing a conventions together with a practice
perspective offers up the possibility of developing a distinctly sociological account to
analyse cooking competences in particular, and practices more generally
