<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">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. Methodological Practicalities and responsibilities will be considered
in approaching the cultural field in this way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">This lecture focuses on painting in St Ives, Cornwall during the 1930s, 40s, and 50s as a case study in the application of the methodology of the French Social Theorist Pierre Bourdieu to an example
of the British art field. It will address the ‘problem of aesthetics’ and the conceptual terms Bourdieu brought to such. After outlining his methodological approach, I shall show the way an artistic avant garde formed itself as a result of war and the consequent
migrations of artists. This will be analysed in terms of field position, biography (habitus) and the actual painting themselves to show how, for a moment at least, St Ives became the centre of the art world. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
