(en) France, UCL AL #352 - Culture, Reading Olivier Thomas and Pascal Glénot: Bourdieu, an Algerian investigation (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

It is not always easy to dare to delve into difficult books.
Fortunately, comics are a popularization medium that sometimes allows
for great success. Thus, Thiphaine Rivière adopts - very freely - La
Distinction[1]by Pierre Bourdieu, a remarkable essay on tastes and
lifestyles. ---- She imagines a philosophy teacher who seeks to
introduce his students to the sociologist's theory, and first encounters
their indifference, before they gradually get caught up in the game,
questioning their family about their eating habits, for example, until
they understand how much "the dominant classes consciously or
unconsciously participate in establishing a system that makes the
transition from one class to another excessively difficult". Without
ever falling into caricature, her characters are rather convincing.
For their part, Olivier Thomas and Pascal Génot investigated in Algeria
on the trail of Pierre Bourdieu who, as a young graduate of the École
Normale Supérieure, was called up there to do his military service,
assigned, thanks to his diplomas and connections, to the information
service. Bourdieu always remained very modest about this experience
which nevertheless changed his life. He returned there to teach, after
his demobilization and until the end of the war, then abandoning
philosophy for sociology which he apprehended at the same time as the
reality of the transformations of a rural society that he discovered and
which was not without reminding him of his own origins.
This biography offers at the same time a history, succinct but dense, of
the Algerian War and sociology. A very enriching read, moreover.
