Plateau Bourdieu

February 24, 1993 ON THE SET, PHILIPPE LEFAIT WELCOMES PIERRE BOURDIEU, PROFESSOR OF SOCIOLOGY AT THE COLLEGE DE FRANCE, FOR HIS BOOK "THE MISERY OF THE WORLD: FRANCE SPEAKS" (EDITIONS DU SEUIL): "We wanted to capture the extreme forms of poverty and the most common, ignored ones around us; the small ones often obscure the great poverty... Of course, this book is meant to be read by educated people, but above all, to be read by everyone; a bit like a collection of short stories, it brings to mind Cervantes; few men have the courage to admit their ignorance." What would you say to Mr. Le Pen? "He is a usurper of suffering... There is nothing worse than basing one's success on exploiting the suffering of others... No, this book is not pessimistic."
