The Work of Art as an Object of Sociological Analysis in Bourdieu’s Sociology of Art

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with theoretical and methodological principles of the analysis of art in the theory of the most influential French sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu. The most important obstacle in the science of works of art is the opposition between internal and external analysis. Bourdieu avoids this opposition and analyses the processes of art production, mediation and reception. An analysis of works of art presupposes three operations, which are linked as three levels of social reality. Firstly, the analysis of the position of the artistic field within the field of power, and its evolution in time. Second, a historian has to analyse the internal structure of the artistic field, a universe obeying its own laws of functioning and transformation, a structure of objective relations between positions occupied by individuals and groups. And finally, an analysis involves the genesis of habitus of the occupants of these positions.
