Bourdieu once commented that what was needed was a ‘new gaze’ on the social world – a metanoia. This book describes this view and how to do it. Based on biographical detail and the socio-political contexts which surrounded him, it sets out his vision of society and culture. Grounded on the distinction between traditional and modern worlds, it shows how ethnographic experience led Bourdieu to an intellectual epiphany. It demonstrates the growth of his conceptual tools and the emergence of ‘field theory’ in various contexts: law, religion, fashion, sport, culture, fine art, philosophy, literature and politics.

This book emerged out of a sequence of dialogues exploring the relationship between the observer and the observed. When we look at an image, a whole series of thoughts and emotions are provoked; social, psychological, and spiritual. Through a set of iconic photos by the artist and photographer Pablo Mandel, the viewer is invited to enter into the pictures and explore where they take them. To facilitate this journey, we match photos with words, which are aimed at opening up new insights and levels of perception. This is an interactive book which deepens our interpretation of the world that surrounds us’.
Also available in paperback, both in English and Spanish (the Limited Deluxe Edition is now sold out).

William Blake (1757 – 1827) is known as a legendary poet, artist, and engraver; one who fashioned for himself a unique artistic style set within an English Romantic tradition. Yet, he was also a prophet; one who shared his vision for humankind – what he termed the ‘divine humanity’ – in a series of ecstatic and illuminating texts and images. There are many discussions of Blake’s works, and in many languages: political, literary, aesthetic, psychological, gender based. This extended essay, generously illustrated with a series of related images, focuses on the ‘spiritual’ in Blake and his affinities to Gnosis and Gnosticism. It traces Blake’s philosophy of life and vision back to early Christian heretics and beyond, connects it with renaissance alchemy, and modern esoteric traditions.
At the centre of his work is an exploration of creativity, imagination and what it is (and how) ‘to see the world in a grain of sand’. Any engagement with Blake’s images and texts is itself a transformative process. This book addresses the nature of that transformation.
