O fio constitutivo da sociologia empírica de bernard lahire

Abstract

Bernard Lahire is one of the most widely recognised sociologists currently working on the tradition of Pierre Bourdieu. In the last few decades he has invested in an exercise in which he has gradually built up a body of criticism of Bourdieu's work, based on a variety of empirical observatories, such as education, culture and literature. This article seeks to outline the central thread of Lahire's work, focusing primarily on the empirical bases for the Plural Actor concept, its theoretical systematisation and the political implications in terms of a Sociology on an Individual Scale, which is founded on an extension of the habitus theory.
