• The seminar introduces and deepens the central concepts of Bourdieu. Its aim is to sensitize to Bourdieu’s sociology and sociological thinking, and to facilitate their application in empirically relevant ways.
• In addition to the classical theoretical concepts, such as habitus, field, and capital, the seminar also addresses concepts such as hysteresis, coloniality, and racism.
• Drawing on the wide range of empirical fields in which Bourdieu’s sociology has been applied, the seminar places particular emphasis on the relation between his sociology and coloniality as well as racism, engaging both classical and more recent studies.
• The seminar concludes with the reconstruction of a third logic of practice, that is the Mediodoxy, following Bourdieu, derived from his oeuvre, which calls for empirical as well as theoretical vigilance in order to cultivate reflexivity toward the internalized and unintended reproduction of inequality semantics and practices.
