The article examines Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of culture and three key concepts - the notions of practice, habitus and field -, with the aim of, on the one hand, studying the changing meanings of these terms at different periods of the author's intellectual development and, on the other, highlighting the links between the empirical objects analyzed and the respective models of sociological interpretation of intellectual and cultural life anchored on this paradigm.
