<b><br>Professor Michael Grenfell<br>Trinity College, University of Dublin</b><br><br>Date: Wednesday, 30 October <br>Time: 3.00-4.30pm <br>Location: Building S, Room 2.32, Caulfield campus, <br>Monash University, Melbourne<br>
<br>This talk focuses on cultural space as conceptualised by the French social theorist Pierre Bourdieu. It begins by outlining Bourdieu’s own background as an explanation for the derivation of concepts and world view he promoted. Such concepts as field, habitus and capital will be considered as analytical instruments to understand both production and consumption within the cultural field. This discussion will feature examples from Bourdieu’s own work and studies undertaken by the speaker in the fields of fine art and music. Key common features of site contexts will be contrasted and compared up to and including what such an analysis shows us. Practicalities and responsibilities will be considered in approaching the cultural field in this way.<br>
