Culture & Power
Pierre Bourdieu is one of the world's most important social theorists and is also one of the great empirical researchers in contemporary sociology. However, reading Bourdieu can be difficult for those not familiar with the French cultural context, and until now a comprehensive introduction to Bourdieu's oeuvre has not been available. David Swartz focuses on a central theme in Bourdieu's work—the complex relationship between culture and power—and explains that sociology for Bourdieu is a mode of political intervention. Swartz clarifies Bourdieu's difficult concepts, noting where they have been misinterpreted by critics and where they have fallen short in resolving important analytical issues. The book also shows how Bourdieu has synthesized his theory of practices and symbolic power from Durkheim, Marx, and Weber, and how his work was influenced by Sartre, Levi-Strauss, and Althusser. Culture and Power is the first book to offer both a sympathetic and critical examination of Bourdieu's work and it will be invaluable to social scientists as well as to a broader audience in the humanities.
Three Swartz/Schwartz Men of Floyd and Clark County, Indiana
Michael Schwartz (1764/1767-1849) was, by tradition, a direct descendant of a widow Schwartz (whose husband died at sea) who immigrated from Germany to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Michael was possibly born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and married Catherine Scheetz. They lived in York County, Pennsylvania, Jefferson County, Kentucky, and then moved to Galena, Clark County, Indiana. Descendants (most spelled the surname Swartz) and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas and elsewhere.
