Where: Národní 18, Prague 1, conference room, 7th floor.
Trained as a jurist and a sociologist, Pierre Lascoumes (CNRS and Centre d’Etudes européennes of Sciences-Po Paris) has led major works on the perceptions of corruption and economic and financial crimes. He’s also a lead in the field of the history and the implementation of environmental policies and risk management.
His latest work, cowritten with Prof. Carla Nagels, a specialist in criminology, deals with recent cases (such as Bettencourt, or HSBC), which despite their strong médiatisation, have benefited from a form of social acceptation in France (Sociologie des élites délinquantes: de la criminalité en col blanc à la corruption politique). A man of theater, Pierre Lascoumes has also created a play in 2015 around a text written by Mazarin, which gave some insight on the Cahuzac case.

As in many other branches of research, Bourdieu’s contribution in literary studies is unquestionable. The theory of the literary field, which had been in the making since the end of the 1960s and found its most comprehensive and developed shape in The Rules of Art (1992), has a lasting impact both in literary theory and literary history. Other Bourdieu’s works inspire literary research as well, from the early article “Intellectual Field and Creative Project” (1966) to Pascalian Meditations (1997). His lectures at Collège de France whose transcripts are still being published also offer an abundance of impulses for literary scholarship. Yet equally substantial is the production of his collaborators and successors that maintain this living body of work, transpose it to different theoretical and methodological contexts and provide its operationalization and critical analysis. In the framework of the series of events PIERRE BOURDIEU 2022 we want to address some of the nodal points of these developments in the past two decades, focusing on the expanded territory of research – intellectual field, translation studies, study of literature and politics, world literature, ethnography of authors, the study of self-presentation of authors in current media environment, etc. – and concepts ranging from new perspectives on the literary field to ethos and author’s posture. We want to trace these developments and assess Bourdieu’s magisterial contribution in the context of current research.
