He invites us to explore the city through what he calls \u003ci\u003ethe trialectic of symbolic space\u003c\/i\u003e (the mental categories through which we perceive and organize the world), \u003ci\u003esocial space\u003c\/i\u003e (the distribution of capital in its different forms), and \u003ci\u003ephysical space\u003c\/i\u003e (the built environment). On this reading, Bourdieu's topological sociology gives us the tools both to energize and also to challenge the canon of urban studies and to redraw their theoretical landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompact and incisive, \u003ci\u003eBourdieu in the City\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to students and scholars in sociology, anthropology, geography, urban studies, urban planning, architecture, and social theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLoïc Wacquant\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Research associate at the Centre de sociologie européenne, Paris.
