The Study On Bourdieu's Theory Of Literary Field

Bourdieu's interpretation on Heidegger adopts the dual-mode of combining the political and philosophical ways together. Bourdieu formed his literary field theory on the basis of this dual-mode. He constructs the literary field in Flaubert's ages and analyzes Flaubert's "emotional education" with sociological perspectives. Bourdieu tells us that the liberty of literary and intellectual is relative in capitalism countries. The symbol of a mature literary field is that the literati don't need to rely on the salary from the government and support of the capitalists any more and they could compose freely. The analysis of the works and litterateurs should base on the specific historical environment of that time. The evolution of literature is the process of conflicting and replacing between different systems of taste. And the definition of literature should be given through examining the aesthetic tastes and the tendency of it.
