Resumo: One of the recurring criticisms of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology is its emphasis on the mechanisms through which social structures are reproduced, rather than their transformation. This criticism first appears in the sociology of education, marked by the impact of his book with Jean-Claude Passeron, entitled precisely La reproduction. It also echoes in other areas where Bourdieu's theory of fields is applied, though, such as politics. It is through politics that I intend to show how, in his major works, Bourdieu provides us with a worldview that is highly realistic in terms of the strength of the mechanisms of reproduction and that, without being disillusioned about processes of change, reveals that these are more complex and nuanced by elements of maintenance than transformative utopias would have us believe.

É uma crítica que está presente, em primeiro lugar, na sociologia da educação, marcada pelo impacto de sua obra em coautoria com Jean-Claude Passeron, intitulada exatamente La reproduction. Mas ela ecoa em outras áreas a que se aplica a teoria dos campos de Bourdieu, como a política. É a partir da política que pretendo demonstrar que, nas suas principais obras, Bourdieu nos fornece uma visão de mundo que é muito realista em relação à força dos mecanismos de reprodução e que, sem ser desencantada quanto aos processos de mudança, revela que eles são mais complexos e mais tingidos de elementos de manutenção do que as utopias transformadoras gostam de crer.Universidade de São Paulo.
