Pierre bourdieu’s reception in the sociology of education in brazil

Abstract

The scope and breadth of Pierre Bourdieu’s works have been attested around the world since his first publications in the 1960s, including the translations of his works overtime, as well as the wide appropriation that his theoretical, conceptual, and methodological constructs have demonstrated in different areas of knowledge for over five decades. The present article selects the Brazilian Sociology of Education as a privileged academic space to analyse the reception of Bourdieu’s work in Brazil, approaching the conditions for the possibility of introducing and disseminating his ideas and the readings of this sociologist’s work in Brazil.
