Technology and rule from Pierre Bourdieu’s social theory

Abstract

This paper intends to apply the Bourdieu’s sociological theory to the problem of technological rule. In that sense, the concepts of “habitus”, “time” and “capital” are taken into consideration so as to study three main questions: 1) the conection between technology and deprivation; 2) the possibility of an utopian disruptive horizon; 3) the relation among economical capital and the several ways of technological one.
