Abstract

Pierre Bourdieu, 20. yüzyılın en etkili entelektüellerinden birisidir. Bu makale iki boyutu içeren bir amaca ulaşmayı hedeflemektedir. Bunlardan ilki, Bourdieu’nün ortaya koymuş olduğu sosyolojik yaklaşımın ana hatlarının ilgililer için toparlayıcı bir tanıtımını ve sunumunu yapmaktır. İkinci amaç ise ilkiyle bağlantılı bir biçimde özgül olarak Bourdieu’nün sosyolojik yaklaşımının siyaseti anlama ve çözümlemeye ilişkin imkânlarına işaret etmek ve siyaset sosyolojisi ve bilimi araştırmaları için onun yaklaşımının kullanımında teşvik edici bir zemin sağlayabilmektir. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda yöntemsel bakımdan, Pierre Bourdieu’nün kendi özgün çalışmaları başta olmak üzere, onun çalışmaları üzerine üretilmiş literatürün kapsamlı bir değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın ulaştığı genel sonuç, Bourdieu’nün ortaya koyduğu kavram ve teorilerin, siyasal alanı anlamak ve siyasal çözümlemede göz ardı edilemeyecek imkânlar sunduğu ve bu imkânların gerek teorik gerekse de uygulama düzeyinde siyasal araştırmalar için elverişli bir çerçeve sunduğu yönündedir.

Pierre Bourdieu’s Sociological Approach and Politics

Abstract

Pierre Bourdieu is one of the most influential intellectuals of the 20th century. This study aims to achieve a goal involving two dimensions. The first of these is to make a comprehensive introduction and presentation of the main lines of the sociological approach put forward by Bourdieu. In connection with the first, the second aim is to expressly point out the possibilities of Bourdieu’s sociological approach to understanding and analyzing politics and to provide an encouraging basis for the use of his approach for political sociology and political science researches. In line with these purposes, a comprehensive evaluation of the literature produced on Pierre Bourdieu’s works, especially his own original works, has been made methodologically. The general conclusion reached by the study is that the concepts and theories presented by Bourdieu offer opportunities that cannot be ignored in understanding the field of politics and in political analysis, and these opportunities create a suitable framework for political research on both theoretical and practical levels.
