1. Basic concepts 1. Basic concepts Bourdieu’s theory of the literary field is embedded in his model of society, which lifts the terms class and Bourdieu’s theory of the literary field is embedded in his model of society, which lifts the terms class and capital out of the sheerly economic constraints of their Marxist definition. Bourdieu sees class as an capital out of the sheerly economic constraints of their Marxist definition. Bourdieu sees class as an analytical model rather than a collective that could be mobilised, and with reference to Max Weber, he analytical model rather than a collective that could be mobilised, and with reference to Max Weber, he defines class as deriving from several social characteristics. A person’s class faction is thus a combination defines class as deriving from several social characteristics. A person’s class faction is thus a combination of three different types of capital: economic capital (money, means of production, property), social capital of three different types of capital: economic capital (money, means of production, property), social capital (relatives, friends, contacts) and cultural capital (linguistic competence, education, title/qualifications, (relatives, friends, contacts) and cultural capital (linguistic competence, education, title/qualifications, manners). The fourth type of capital is the one I referred to above as symbolic capital, more usually referred manners). The fourth type of capital is the one I referred to above as symbolic capital, more usually referred to as prestige, honour etc. to as prestige, honour etc. According to Bourdieu, the different social spheres in modern societies like politics, the sciences, According to Bourdieu, the different social spheres in modern societies like politics, the sciences, the economy and art are relatively independent but not completely isolated. Although people who exercise the economy and art are relatively independent but not completely isolated. Although people who exercise a lot of power in one field may find it easier to influence another field, the legitimation criteria are different a lot of power in one field may find it easier to influence another field, the legitimation criteria are different for each field. The literary field, for example, has two opposite poles objectifying two different types of for each field. The literary field, for example, has two opposite poles objectifying two different types of capital: on the one hand, there is the subfield of large-scale production whose primary criterion is capital: on the one hand, there is the subfield of large-scale production whose primary criterion is commercial success. The opposite pole is the subfield of small-scale production, exclusive to insiders, an commercial success. The opposite pole is the subfield of small-scale production, exclusive to insiders, an autonomous pole, where recognition from other writers, respected critics and authorities like juries and prize autonomous pole, where recognition from other writers, respected critics and authorities like juries and prize

In the latter role, he has middle of the 1950’s in two distinctly different roles: as a poet and as an essayist.

The readership for his poetry consists of other (potential) poets and professional interpreters of poetry, approximately in for his poetry consists of other (potential) poets and professional interpreters of poetry, approximately in equal measure, as well as for students. Compared to the essays, the sales of books of poetry are indeed small, equal measure, as well as for students. Compared to the essays, the sales of books of poetry are indeed small, the average number for a volume of poetry sold is 1,300 copies a year. This less popular genre is also subject the average number for a volume of poetry sold is 1,300 copies a year. This less popular genre is also subject to a different sales cycle. Enzensberger’s books of poetry are not bestsellers, but longsellers, which means to a different sales cycle. Enzensberger’s books of poetry are not bestsellers, but longsellers, which means that they stay in Suhrkamp’s backlist for a longer period than the volumes of essays. Enzensberger’s constant that they stay in Suhrkamp’s backlist for a longer period than the volumes of essays. Enzensberger’s constant alternation between a relatively large and relatively small readership is a suitable object for field theory. alternation between a relatively large and relatively small readership is a suitable object for field theory.

Along with an author having his/her works issued by a renowned publishing house, as well as being reviewed in prestige having his/her works issued by a renowned publishing house, as well as being reviewed in prestige periodicals, literary prizes are the measuring-stick for an author’s standing. The award of a literary prize is periodicals, literary prizes are the measuring-stick for an author’s standing. The award of a literary prize is what Bourdieu refers to as „literary consecration“ 10). In Enzensberger’s six-decade career, he has won no what Bourdieu refers to as „literary consecration“ 10). In Enzensberger’s six-decade career, he has won no less than 17 prizes, including one from Yugoslavia, one from Spain, and from Italy. Already in 1963, at the less than 17 prizes, including one from Yugoslavia, one from Spain, and from Italy. Already in 1963, at the age of 33, he received the Georg-Büchner Prize, the most prestigious literary award in the German-speaking age of 33, he received the Georg-Büchner Prize, the most prestigious literary award in the German-speaking countries. Already by this point it has become clear that the literary prestige that goes along with such prizes, countries. Already by this point it has become clear that the literary prestige that goes along with such prizes, as well as the other success mentioned above, can be described as a sort of capital. Just as economic capital as well as the other success mentioned above, can be described as a sort of capital. Just as economic capital can be said to accumulate, the same can be said of symbolic capital. While it was the young poet who had can be said to accumulate, the same can be said of symbolic capital. While it was the young poet who had been lionized shortly after the beginning of his career with the Büchner-Prize, the Ludwig-Börne Prize in been lionized shortly after the beginning of his career with the Büchner-Prize, the Ludwig-Börne Prize in 2002 was awarded primarily to the essayist Enzensberger. Having such a high standing in two genres adds 2002 was awarded primarily to the essayist Enzensberger. Having such a high standing in two genres adds up synergistically. In addition, when it was revealed in 1995 that Enzensberger is the top-earner among up synergistically. In addition, when it was revealed in 1995 that Enzensberger is the top-earner among Germany’s essayists, the honorarium for one of his essays in Der Spiegel earned him approximately 30,000 Germany’s essayists, the honorarium for one of his essays in Der Spiegel earned him approximately 30,000
