Abstract

This article aims to reflect the concepts of habitus, field, capital, cultural capital and symbolic violence in the light of Pierre Bourdieu´s written texts in the educational field. The concept of habitus discusses the capacity of the individuals' feelings, thoughts and actions regarding the incorporation of a given social structure. The field represents a space in which the confrontations legitimize the representations, considering the symbolic power as the one that classifies the symbols according to the existence or the absence of a code of values, whereas the capital represents the accumulation of forces that the individual can reach in the field. The article searches to understand how individuals incorporate the social structure, legitimizing and reproducing it through the school institution, more precisely from the symbolic violence.
