GAMBAROTTA, Emiliano Matías. From socio-analysis to symbolic subversion. The practice of sociology and the disruption of the mechanisms of domination based on P. Bourdieu. Estud. sociol [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.97, pp.121-143. ISSN 2448-6442.

This paper seeks to analyze how the practice of sociology can impact over the society’s structuring, being (with its specific knowledge) a moment of the disruption of the mechanisms that (re)produce the social domination. So, to achieve this goal, this paper studies the Bourdieu’s proposal of socio-analysis, since this is one of the main instances through it which sociology can produce that disruption. For this, it is analyzed first the characterization that this author makes of the symbolic dimension. In base of all of this, this paper points out the scholastic logic that remains in the Bourdieu’s socio-analysis and proposes, instead of that, a different way through it which the practice of sociology can be disruptive of the social domination. This proposal is based on Bourdieu’s concept of “symbolic subversion”.

Keywords : Bourdieu; practice of sociology; reflexivity; symbolic; socio-analysis.
