As a soldier in the French army, Pierre Bourdieu took thousands of photographs documenting the abject conditions and suffering (as well as the resourcefulness, determination, grace, and dignity) of the Algerian people as they fought in the Algerian War (1954--1962). Sympathizing with those he was told to regard as "enemies," Bourdieu became deeply and permanently invested in their struggle to overthrow French rule and the debilitations of poverty. Upon realizing the inability of his education to make sense of this wartime reality, Bourdieu immediately undertook the creation of a new ethnographic-sociological science based on his experiences -- one that became synonymous with his work over the next few decades and was capable of explaining the mechanics of French colonial aggression and the impressive, if curious, ability of the Algerians to resist it. This volume pairs 130 of Bourdieu's photographs with key excerpts from his related writings, very few of which have been translated into English. Many of these images, luminous aesthetic objects in their own right, comment eloquently on the accompanying words even as they are commented upon by them. Bourdieu's work set the standard for all subsequent ethnographic photography and critique. This volume also features a 2001 interview with Bourdieu, in which he speaks to his experiences in Algeria, its significance on his intellectual evolution, his role in transforming photography into a means for social inquiry, and the duty of the committed intellectual to participate in an increasingly troubled world.

布迪厄早年在阿爾及利亞展開“自學成纔”式的人類學作品。前資本主義時代的農民由於受到現代經濟的排擠,例如法國軍隊的強製性安傢政策,農民不得不流入市場尋找活乾,以至於必須要“脫根”。在阿爾及利亞說法語,甚至會比說母語給人更加入鄉隨俗,更積極的感覺,客觀上也會帶來更高的市場報酬。布迪厄的洞察就在於發現那些原本淳樸的農業社會的農民刹那間就變成人類學意義上的“經濟魔鬼”。這本質上是一個傳統農業社會與強製現代化之間是如何發生作用的社會學問題。新進入的以及強迫進入的金融經濟要求農民有一種新的對待時間的態度以及理性的行為模式,但農民最初是由傳統的經濟秩序生成、塑造的傾嚮(dispositions)來對新的經濟狀況作齣反應的。新的結構要求被傳統的傾嚮所滲透,個體行動者策略性地使用新經濟所強加的製約因素和機會。
評分萊卡和蔡司
評分布迪厄早年在阿爾及利亞的紀實攝影,結閤後來寫作生涯裏各種關於阿爾及利亞的研究文字、以及開頭一篇長訪談,對照起來非常有看頭,可以視為他社會學理論的實踐起點。他的攝影比美國早期紀實攝影多瞭一層人類學、民族誌和對殖民曆史的理論反思,翻看的過程中不斷想起Allan Sekula戰後的實踐。
