Pierre Bourdieu (1st August 1930- 23rd January, 2002) was a French Social Scientist. Bourdieu's primary area of interest was the dynamics of power in society and how this operated in subtle ways and impacted the way people behaved, interacted and related to one another. He was the one who introduced important concepts like cultural, social and symbolic forms of capital( as opposed to economic capital), the cultural reproduction, habits, symbolic violence, the field and many other important terms.
