Pierre Bourdieu’s research while affiliated with Collège de France and other places

... É o que Strang e Meyer chamam de "teorização" entendida como o "desenvolvimento e especificação de categorias abstratas e a formulação de relações padronizadas como cadeias de causa e efeitos" (Strang, Meyer, 1993, p. 492). Esse processo permite uma descontextualização, para não dizer "universalização" (Bourdieu, 1998), das políticas observadas, o que facilita sua transferência. O último passo (última etapa) é produzir um novo programa. ...

... This represents an unpredictable and temporary (albeit limited and selective) window of opportunity in a framework characterized by substantial closure, thus prompting the interest of a diverse group of actors (including migrants, employers and intermediaries) seeking specific opportunities and advantages. The implementation of these polices creates strong demand for legal-administrative intermediation services within highly concentrated timeframes, significantly influencing the characteristics and dynamics of the intermediation field (Barman, 2016;Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992;Fligstein, 2013). Here, different kinds of actor mediate the relationships between migrants, employers and the Italian documentation regime, acting upon different, and sometimes contradictory and conflicting logics (Dimitriadis & Ambrosini, 2024) to navigate a complex network of interdependence, cooperation and contention with governmental authorities. ...

... In essence, academics view these categories as the rationale for valuing and using the source. Academics consider the content of ASNs as the outcome of the interaction of cultural-historical research (17), implying philosophical and theoretical analysis (14) as well as logical and methodological principles (12). This content also incorporates expert knowledge (23) to complete high-level tasks (42), facilitate intellectual development (43), enhance understanding of our surrounding world (37), and is meaningful and applicable in specific situations (44). ...

... Social capital is broadly recognized as the sum of resources, actual or virtual, that accrue to an individual or group by virtue of membership to social structures such as communities or personal social networks (Bourdieu, 1989;Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992 have argued that social capital should be treated strictly as a more social-relational concept that 34 results as a function of individual membership in personal social networks rather than a macroecological feature of larger aggregate groups (Foley & Edwards, 1997). ...

... However, Mary observed the gap between promise and action, noting, "Nothing has come of this yet" (Kom, 2013, p. 97). Her achievements were often celebrated selectively, echoing the experiences of minority creative workers navigating cultural industries, as discussed in Symbolic Capital And Social Classes (Bourdieu and Wacquant, 2013). Her path to recognition is not devoid of humiliation. ...

... Modern/scientific accounts often emphasize the need to study race within specific-usually national-contexts, prioritizing a materialist analysis of the particular conditions that gave rise to racial ideologies 5 (generally granting capitalism a fundamental role) as well as how they are reproduced. The emphasis on contextual specificity reflects a concern that grouping an overly broad set of prejudices and practices under the category of "racism"-finding racism in an ever-increasing assortment of times and places-may lead people to falsely universalize and naturalize the concept of race (Bourdieu and Wacquant 1999;Fields 1990). In doing so, this approach forecloses the possibility of conceiving of racism as operating on a global scale or across a longer time span. ...

... For Nakasa, 'the pass system is the cornerstone of apartheid' (42), the material artefact of a state bureaucracy around which relentless violence was orchestrated and which became a focal point for dissent. With trademark irony, his New York Times debut compares the passbook to 'a pocket testament' (42)-weighty in more ways than onethus inadvertently bearing out Pierre Bourdieu's (1994) claim that, through its piles of papers, the modern state wields 'a genuinely creative, quasi-divide, power' (12). ...

... This paper examines the moral economy of knowledge production on integration in Switzerland, specifically by street-level bureaucrats, characterized by Lipsky (1980) as interacting directly with the population and having substantial discretion in the execution of their work (see also Lambert 2025), the paper builds on ethnographic fieldwork on Swiss integration governance, drawing on the rich literature on the state (Bourdieu 1994;Sharma and Gupta 2006), bureaucracy (Eckert 2020;Pfirter 2019) and governmentality (Foucault 2006;Gupta 2012;Jessop 2007). In sum, the paper argues that integration governance in Switzerland is an empirical example of a totalizing institution (MacKenzie and Porter 2021), bringing together Foucault's (2006) work on disciplinary institutions and Goffman's (1961) total institutions. ...

... Destacam-se como mais numerosos os que acreditam na inevitabilidade e irreversibilidade da globalização, assumindo que as suas causas seriam também inevitáveis e irreversíveis. Em contraponto, estão os que defendem que "a 'globalização' não é [seja] uma nova fase do capitalismo, mas uma retórica 'invocada' pelos governos para justificar sua submissão voluntária aos mercados financeiros" (Bourdieu & Wacquant 2000). Fugindo um pouco a essas perspectivas, conhecidas por adotarem uma postura uniescalar, a corrente do desenvolvimento territorial defende a combinação das múltiplas escalas -conformando o que se convencionou chamar de estratégia transescalar. ...
