Exploring the City with Bourdieu is a study of
social structures, lifestyles and socio-cultural
change of Stavanger. The time period covered is the
last thirty years when oil activities became the
major economic venture. At the end of the 1960s,
Stavanger was a poor city. Today it is prospering
as a result of the impact of the oil industry. It
has become the oil capital of Norway.
The book examines this city using the analytic
framework outlined by Pierre Bourdieu in Distinction
(1984). The study provides a practical illustration
of how this approach may be applied to study complex
social formations. It offers a theoretical chart and
methodological instruments for readers wishing to
understand social structures and change in today s
world. The study brings forth very different
imageries of a society in change than dominating
views of postmodern disorder . Underneath the
apparent flux there are social regularities to be
revealed that encompass social positions, personal
dispositions as well as spatial, geographical
structures.
