Concepts such as \u003ci\u003efield, capital, habitus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003esymbolic violence\u003c\/i\u003e have been used as theoretical tools by scholars and students looking to understand the nature and purpose of sport, leisure, physical education and human movement within wider society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePierre Bourdieu and Physical Culture is the first book to focus on the significance of Bourdieu's work for, and in, physical culture. Bringing together the work of leading and emerging international researchers, it introduces the core concepts in Bourdieu's thought and work, and presents a series of fascinating demonstrations of the application of his theory to physical culture studies. A concluding section discusses the inherent difficulties of choosing and using theory to understand the world around us. By providing an in-depth and multi-layered example of how theory can be used across the many and varied components of sport, leisure, physical education and human movement, this book should help all serious students and researchers in physical culture to better understand the importance of social theory in their work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisahunter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138208337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138208339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Lisahunter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941116281087,"sku":"9781138208339","price":68.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f3c630f2-0fdf-4d06-9d8c-13f847d912d3.jpg?v=1681451004","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pierre-bourdieu-and-physical-culture-lisahunter-9781138208339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
