Language and symbolic power
Pierre Bourdieu (Verfasser/in), John B. Thompson (Herausgeber/in), Gino Raymond (Übersetzer/in)
"This volume brings together Bourdieu's highly original writings on language and on the relations among language, power, and politics. Bourdieu develops a forceful critique of traditional approaches to language, including the linguistic theories of Saussure and Chomsky and the theory of speech-acts elaborated by Austin and others. He argues that language should he viewed not only as a means of communication but also as a medium of power through which individuals pursue their own interests and display their practical competence."-- Publisher's website
