Samenvatting
Article evaluates Bourdieu's analysis of cultural production in terms of its effectiveness for understanding contemporary media production. Author stresses the importance of Bourdieu's historical account of 'autonomy' and of the emphasis on the interconnectedness of the field of cultural production with other social fields. Then he draws attention to two major problems in the work of Bourdieu and others who have adopted his 'field theory' for the media: first, that he offered only occasional and fragmented analyses of 'large-scale', 'heteronomous' commercial media production, in spite of its enormous social and cultural importance in the contemporary world; second, that Bourdieu and his key associates provide only a very limited account of the relationships between cultural production and cultural consumption |
