Abstract

This article sought to investigate the notion of Social Game in the work of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. For this, we proposed a brief interpellation with some ideas from the classics of sociology: Durkheim, Marx and Weber. The problem was studied by the author's own exposition, who understands the logic of the game as structuring for life in society. Its foundations go beyond a simple rational, conscious assessment, and operate in a tacit way in social fields. As he advanced in his research, Bourdieu understood that it would not be possible to build on this theme, in a satisfactory manner, if he did not take up and propose a re-signification of the notions of class and belief, already deeply rooted in the history of sociology. The author represented an important milestone in the history of human sciences, by rethinking relationships based on microcosms that operate as places of struggles and disputes. We used a systematic analysis of the main works of the author studied, in order to understand the theoretical revolutions he was able to operate.
