Abstract

The sociology practiced by Bourdieu
can be conceived as a science of
positions in the social world. The social
is interpreted as a
multidimensional space, whose
dimensions are the differentiation
principles (the capitals). The
neighborhood or removal in the social
map expresses a major or lesser
differential of the same properties.
Proximity in the social space means
exchange of same practices and
references, while removal means
different practices and preferences.
This study seeks to suggest the
importance of such considerations
to analyze relevant aspects of the
teaching system.
