Task 5
Pierre
Bourdieu was born in 1930 and died in 2002, he is a Frenchman and was one of
the most important sociologists in the 20th century and more specific in the
period between 1950-1960.
Pierre
Bourdieu developed a theory of action, around the concept of habitus, which has
exerted great influence in the social sciences. This theory tries to show that
social agents develop strategies, on the basis of dispositions acquired by
socialization, the good and the unconscious, they adapt to the needs of the
social world. His work is organized around a series of guiding concepts, among
others: the habitus as a principle of action of the agents, fields as spheres
of social competition and symbolic violence, as a fundamental mechanism for
imposing the relations of domination.
Finally,
Pierre Bourdieu is one of the authors that I like the most, since with his
theory it is possible to study very homogeneous contexts within society. In
addition, it is a theory that explains the functioning of social classes and
their daily practices.
Good work!
