Book Discussion | The Sociology of Literature: The World Surrounding the Words

Wednesday, April 24, 2024, 6:00 pm

Free

Gisèle Sapiro, the leading theorist of the sociology of literature, will present her book on the history, methods, and potential futures of this growing field of study, which finds its origins in the French Enlightenment, and its most salient expression as a sociological pursuit in the work of Pierre Bourdieu. Sapiro refutes the common criticism that the sociology of literature does not take the text to be the central object of study. Sapiro describes methods for analyzing the roles and behaviors of agents and institutions (publishing houses, prize committees, etc.) in the circulation and reception of texts. The book emphasizes the rich interdisciplinary nature of the approach, which draws on literary history, sociology, postcolonial studies, book history, gender studies, and media studies, while also defending the sociology of literature as a discipline in its own right.
