My favorite Class

My favorite class is called “Profundización a Bourdieu”. This class is imparted by professor Mª Emilia Tijoux in the department of sociology in FACSO. And it’s about an in-depth theoretical framework of Bourdieu.

 

Bourdieu was a French sociology, his born in Denguin, in southern France on 1 August 1930 and pass away in 2006. Bourdieu working key concepts like: 1. Field, this concept can be understood as a network of relationships 2. Cultural capital, this capital is understood as an instrument of power to the individual level in the form of a set of intellectual skills produced by the families and the school system. Is capital because it can accumulate over time. 3. Social Capital, this capital achieved through the network of relationships established by the individual. 4. Symbolic Capital, this capital is about to linguistic power. Otherwise, Bourdieu also work whit one concept called Habitus, we can understand like subjectivity that is socialized, is a structure that generating patterns of behavior. Well, Bourdieu works with a lot of concept, and for that it seems unlikely to me explain all.

This class is very important for my studies, because Bourdieu is a key author in the sociology, is considerate one of the classic in the theoretical framework of the discipline. For the same reason, this class is important in my professional life, because is very significant for my, as a sociologist know about the different working concept of Bourdieu.
