Instead, the men profiled here maneuver through family and friendship circles where masculinity dominates, gay sexuality is unspoken, and heterosexuality is strictly enforced. For these men, the path to sexual freedom often involves chasing the dreams while resisting the expectations of their immigrant parents--and finding community in each other. Ocampo also details his own story of reconciling his queer Filipino American identity and those of men like him. He shows what it was like for these young men to grow up

But not just any art: a new way of seeing that came to be called impressionism.Monet loved to paint what he saw around him, particularly the Seine River.

Monet, however, waited only for the light. The changing light...each morning he had a dozen canvases on hand to paint a dozen different moments. His brush moved back and forth, chasing sunlight--putting in the

社會理論大師布迪厄繼《區分》、《藝術的法則》之後最重要的「文化社會學」、「作品研究」經典★書中附有42張馬內及同時期重要畫家的畫作彩圖，使讀者在鑑賞布迪厄的作品分析時，能夠圖文對照「藝術是沒有理論的純粹實作。」──涂爾幹十九世紀下半葉，法國藝術圈正湧現一場寧靜革命。官方支持的學院派繪畫遭受各路新興派別挑戰，包括最具代表性的印象派在內。其中，馬內（Édouard Manet）在「落選者沙龍」展出〈草地上的午餐〉，更為這場藝術運動吹響了號角。自此，人們不再期望藝術要承載宗教或歷史等宏大敘事，而是能更追求技巧與形式。自此，世人對於「何謂繪畫」的觀念起了徹底的轉變。本書作者、知名社會學家布迪厄，將這種認知及實作上的變革，稱為「象徵革命」。然而，象徵革命並非一蹴可幾，而是需要眾多條件才能達成。本書首先從「場域」的概念切入，探究革命發生的條件。當時，教育擴張導致學位過剩，連帶改變了創作者的人口結構，讓馬內為首的「異端」能吸納更多支持者。於是，原先被官方壟斷的審美標準，開始弱化並鬆動。另一方面，馬內出身上流社會所養成的「慣習」，以及他日後在沙龍、咖啡廳、畫室累積的社會「資本」，也都是他得以擔綱革命先知的條件。而這恰恰展現出象徵革命的弔詭：革命者往往是擁有優勢的人。以此，透過分析畫作風格、評論家的論述、行動者的階級屬性，布迪厄從法國繪畫的案例，見證現代藝術如何誕生。本書由未完成手稿與課程講稿集結而成，課堂上不時穿插對聽眾來函的回應。因此，即便看似是一部未竟之作，本書反倒更能讓我們窺見這名思想家鍛造概念的過程。本書特色◆布迪厄為提出文化資本與場域等聞名概念的學者，其代表作《區分》被國際社會學協會票選為20世紀前六大社會學重要著作。布迪厄發展的概念體系流傳甚廣，在社會學界、人類學界、哲學界、傳播學界、視覺文化研究等領域，都具有高度影響力。◆此書堪稱藝術史的翻案之作，不再將馬內歸類於印象派，而是從馬內的出身、人際網絡、畫作風格、與過往時期各畫家的關係等，將馬內定位成自成一格的象徵革命者。◆有別於既有的「作品研究」觀點，布迪厄並非單純從外部（如階級位置）定位馬內，也不只從內部（畫作內容）分析，而是融合兩種視角，轉而以場域的概念，主張藝術具有相對自主性，同時剖析馬內離經叛道的慣習，又是如何促成這個新興的場域站穩腳跟。◆對藝術場域的研究可作為對其他場域的研究之示範，因而有助於讀者瞭解在分化複雜
