Women Priests, Symbolic Violence, and Symbolic Resistance
This book explores, from a feminist sociological viewpoint, the ways gender is constructed in the priesthood in the Church of England, and the political, emotional, and spiritual resources generated by women priests in their resistance praxis against a discriminating structure.Despite the increasing numbers of women being ordained, the Church continues to structurally support and legitimise the view that the priesthood should be exclusively male, and women priests still experience gender discrimination and/or differentiation.Drawing on Bourdieu’s notion of symbolic violence, the book aims to fill a gap in the research literature by showing how women priests do not necessarily misrecognise or collude in their domination but engage in hidden resistances and subversions.Based on empirical research, the study reveals that whilst there are barriers to protesting and complaining in conventional ways, there are also significant resistances in how women priests perform their role.The themes addressed are relevant for sociologists of religion and scholars of gender and women’s studies, as well as those with an interest in theology and Christian ministry.

Symbolic Logic
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the essential elements of standard (classical) symbolic logic.Key topics covered include: · The characteristic nature and scope of logic as a discipline· The construction of a series of distinctly named formal languages suitable for formal translation· Semantic models· The construction of decision procedures· The execution of proof-theoretic arrangements like natural deduction and proof-sequent systemsThe book covers both the semantics and proof theory of the standard sentential (propositional) logic and predicate (first-order) logic.Other topics covered include: parsing trees,extraction of alternative notations (for instance, Polish notation), Fitch-style proof-theory, sequent and ‘tree’ proof systems, comparisons and contrasts with intuitionistic logic, and presentations of predicate logic models.An ancillary chapter on elements of set theory is conveniently placed at the end and includes insights into the Zermelo-Fraenkel systematization of set theory.The philosophy of logic is also explored. Exercises in the text provide instruction on mathematical induction for the construction of formula, tests for the well-formedness of Polish notation, and functional completeness. Symbolic Logic is essential reading for all philosophy students taking intermediate level formal logic courses and will also appeal to diligent first year students of logic.The text is replete with exercises on both the formal machinery and the philosophical aspects of logic.

Perspective as Symbolic Form
Erwin Panofsky's Perspective as Symbolic Form is one of the great works of modern intellectual history, the legendary text that has dominated all art historical and philosophical discussions on the topic of perspective in this century.Finally available in English, it is an unrivaled example of Panofsky's early method that placed him within broader developments in theories of knowledge and cultural change.Here, drawing on a massive body of learning that ranges over Antique philosophy, theology, science, and optics as well as the history of art, Panofsky produces a type of "archaeology" of Western representation that far surpasses the usual scope of art historical studies.Perspective in Panofsky's hands becomes a central component of a Western "will to form," the expression of a schema linking the social, cognitive, psychological, and especially technical practices of a given culture into harmonious and integrated wholes.Yet the perceptual schema of each historical culture or epoch is different, and each gives rise to a different but equally full vision of the world.Panofsky articulates these different spatial systems, demonstrating their particular coherence and compatibility with the modes of knowledge, belief, and exchange that characterized the cultures in which they arose.Our own modernity, Panofsky shows, is characterized by its peculiarly mathematical expression of the concept of the infinite, within a space that is necessarily both continuous and homogeneous.

Manet : A Symbolic Revolution
What is a 'symbolic revolution'? What happens when a symbolic revolutions occurs, how can it succeed and prevail and why is it so difficult to understand?Using the exemplary case of Édouard Manet, Pierre Bourdieu began to ponder these questions as early as the 1980s, before making it the focus of his lectures in his last years at the Collége de France.This second volume of Bourdieu's previously unpublished lectures provides his most sustained contribution to the sociology of art and the analysis of cultural fields.It is also a major contribution to our understanding of impressionism and the works of Manet. Bourdieu treats the paintings of Manet as so many challenges to the conservative academicism of the pompier painters, the populism of the Realists, the commercial eclecticism of genre painting, and even the 'Impressionists', showing that such a revolution is inseparable from the conditions that allow fields of cultural production to emerge.At a time when the Academy was in crisis and when the increase in the number of painters challenged the role of the state in defining artistic value, the break that Manet inaugurated revolutionised the aesthetic order.The new vision of the world that emerged from this upheaval still shapes our categories of perception and judgement today - the very categories that we use everday to understand the representations of the world and the world itself. This major work by one of the greatest sociologists of the last 50 years will be of great interest to students and scholars in sociology, art history and the social sciences and humanities generally.It will also appeal to a wide readership interested in art, in impressionism and in the works of Manet.

Symbolic Interaction and Inequality
Acting as a follow up to Volume 41 of Studies in Symbolic Interaction (2013), Symbolic Interaction and Inequality explores further the concept of Radical Interactionism, a perspective of researching domination and subordination introduced by scholar Lonnie Athens. Demonstrating advancements made in Radical Interactionism over the past decade, chapters examine the omnipresent and insidious nature of inequality as well as its social construction among family members, cisgender and gender-diverse people, as well as university students and personnel, particularly college athletes. Highlighting fruitful accomplishments achieved by a range of symbolic interactionists, this volume exhibits the significance of studying inequality, a venture that not only enriches symbolic interactionism but human life as a whole.

Symbolic Exchange and Death
Jean Baudrillard is one of the most celebrated and most controversial of contemporary social theorists.This major work occupies a central place in the rethinking of the humanities and social sciences around the idea of postmodernism. It leads the reader on an exhilarating tour encompassing the end of Marxism, the enchantment of fashion, symbolism about sex and the body, and the relations between economic exchange and death.Most significantly, the book represents Baudrillard's fullest elaboration of the concept of the three orders of the simulacra, defining the historical passage from production to reproduction to simulation. A classic in its field, Symbolic Exchange and Death is a key source for the redefinition of contemporary social thought.Baudrillard's critical gaze appraises social theories as diverse as cybernetics, ethnography, psychoanalysis, feminism, Marxism, communications theory and semiotics. This English translation begins with a new introductory essay.
