This portrait of Bourdieu's laboratory in the early days describes the impact of the bourdieusian «tribe» on the author's social destiny, especially to his attempt to develop a reflexive political sociology that explores the intertwinement of culture, power, and knowledge. Repeatedly, he depicts himself as an outsider suspended between several (geographical, disciplinary, and intellectual) worlds. Without directly addressing the issue of self-objectivation, the author puts it into practice as sociogenesis of several elements: relationships, collaborations, interests, oppositions/attractions, position-taking, scientific success.

Dans le champ des Relations internationales, Vincent Pouliot développe une théorie du praticable comme une théorie « matérielle » de la pratique, complémentaire à celle des conséquences, de la convenance, de l'argumentation. La logique du praticable serait paradoxalement la base non théorique de toutes les théories en ri. Comment l'approche de Pouliot, inspirée par les travaux de Bourdieu, se prête-t-elle à ce genre d'exercice ? Deux questions me semblent essentielles pour une analyse sociologique de la pratique en ri d'un point de vue « webero-bourdieusien » : le rôle du politique et de la domination, puis la logique de la pratique.

This chapter excavates Bourdieu's theoretical insights concerning political sociology to develop a theory of transnational structuration processes. The early Bourdieu implicitly imagined the state as a nationally bounded actor. Only later in his career did he begin to grapple with issues such as globalization, transnationalism, and neoliberalism; and it is this later germ of ideas that this chapter develops. Transnational social fields, this chapter argues, are not reducible to institutional or organizational structures. They require a more holistic analysis of institutions and their underpinnings. To provide an example of how Bourdieu's political sociology can be extended to transnational spaces, this chapter considers the case of the European Parliament. ; peerReviewed
