Resumo: In this paper we address Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of education, conceived in his later works as an educational field theory. We analyze the relationship between school strategies –under certain family strategies of social reproduction– and the process of “selecting the elect” conducted by the school. We review some criticisms and discussions related to this conceptual framework, considering the issue of theory importation in Latin America; the presence of functionalist explanations and the heuristic limits of some key concepts, such as field and habitus. We also consider some central aspects of the concept of peripheral fields. Finally, we estimate the possibilities offered by this theoretical arsenal to contribute to the necessary democratization of school processes and settings.

Enfocamos la relación entre estrategias escolares –en el marco de estrategias familiares de reproducción social– y la “elección de los elegidos” que realiza la escuela. Revisamos algunas críticas y debates relativos a este marco conceptual, considerando la cuestión de la importación teórica en América Latina; la presencia de explicaciones funcionalistas y los límites heurísticos de algunos conceptos claves, como campo y habitus. También recuperamos aspectos centrales de la noción de campos periféricos. Por último, estimamos las posibilidades que ofrece este arsenal teórico para contribuir a una necesaria democratización de los procesos y escenarios escolares.   Ce travail abordera la théorie du système d’enseignement de Pierre Bourdieu, conçue comme champ scolaire dans ses derniers travaux. L’accent sera mis sur la relation entre les stratégies scolaires – dans le cadre des stratégies familiales de reproduction sociale – et le « choix des élus », réalisé par l’école. Une révision de critiques et débats relatifs à ce cadre conceptuel sera entreprise, à partir de la question de l’importation théorique en Amérique Latine, de la présence d’explications fonctionnalistes et des limites heuristiques de certains concepts clés, comme ceux de champ et d’ habitus. Les principaux aspects de la notion de champs périphériques seront aussi abordés. La conclusion se portera sur les possibles contributions de cet arsenal théorique à la nécessaire démocratisation des processus et scénarios scolaires.  Neste trabalho abordamos a teoria do sistema de ensino de Pierre Bourdieu, concebida em suas últimas obras como campo escolar. Focamos a relação entre estratégias escolares – no âmbito de estratégias familiares de reprodução social – e a “escolha dos escolhidos” realizada pela escola. Revemos algumas críticas e debates relativos a esse marco conceitual, considerando a questão da importação teórica na América Latina; a presença de explicações funcionalistas e os limites heurísticos de alguns conceitos chaves, como campo e habitus. Também recuperamos aspectos centrais da noção de campos periféricos. Por último, estimamos as possibilidades que esse arsenal teórico oferece a fim de contribuir para uma necessária democratização dos processos e cenários escolares.Fundação Carlos Chagas2016-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://publicacoes.fcc.org.br/cp/article/view/3615Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 46 No. 162: out./dez.2016; 942-964Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 46 Núm. 162: out./dez.2016; 942-964Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 46 No. 162: out./dez.2016; 942-964Cadernos de Pesquisa; v. 46 n. 162: out./dez.2016; 942-9641980-53140100-1574reponame:Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas.
