The Interview according to Pierre Bourdieu. Critical Analysis of La Misere du Monde. Mayer, N. Revue francaise de Sociologie, 1995, 36, 2, Apr-June, 36(2):355–370, 1995. CD: RFSOAG
abstract   bibtex   
The author describes the new way of directing interviews expounded by Pierre Bourdieu in La Misere du monde (The Misery of the World), systematically going against the generally accepted methodology used in social sciences, such as the former construction of the object & the hypotheses, the neutral stand of the interviewer, & thus the need to have the content analyzed. The article attempts to show that, by this means, he introduces expedients that are just as problematical as those he wishes to disclaim as regards nondirective interviews or polls. In addition, the confusion he proclaims among literary, political, & sociological figures is to the detriment of his former claims; it pays unnecessary credit to the idea that sociology collects statements on a normal conversational basis, from anybody, on any subject, & hands the information over to the general public without further analysis. 15 References.
