Established and outsiders: working elements of history, culture and society in a classic work

Abstract

Originally written as a final work of PhD course, this text seeks to contribute to the unveiling of a seminal work on violence, symbolic domination, discrimination and exclusion, combining three essential dimensions (history, culture and society) in the research in the social sciences, notably anthropology and sociology. Not intended to be a review or succession of comments about the classic, the article proposes to think that the connections and findings can be made from a text whose contribution seems to have been, after 41 years of its publication, scrutinized the maximum, revealing, with his eyes focused on these dimensions, other ways to use it in academic work.
