ENCONTROS COM PIERRE BOURDIEU E DESTINOS DE SUA OBRA - ENTREVISTA COM GISÈLE SAPIRO

Garcia and Pessanha interview Gisele Sapiro, current director of the Centre de Sociologie Europeenne, about her encounter in Paris with sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, who would become her professor and sponsor and whose work she would propagate. Sapiro offers a broad overview of the international, particularly Anglo-American, reception of Bourdieu's work. Based upon her experience as translator, Sapiro analyzes the reception of Bourdieu's work, showing how specific cultural features of different societies created a favorable context to certain aspects of Bourdieu's work and made the extraordinary success of Bourdieu's ideas among readers within different disciplines.
