The clothes have no emperor: Bourdieu on American imperialism

Article Abstract:

The essay 'On the Cunning of Imperialist Reason' (Theory, Culture & Society, 1999) by Pierre Bourdieu and Loic Wacquant appears to be a lapse in Bourdieu's usually brilliant visual sociology. His comments on American cultural imperialism are directed to a French audience, but do not translate well.
