Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The article first looks at the complexity of those of Bourdieu's concepts which analyze how individuals occupy social positions, collective and individual ways of being, above all habitus and field. It then assesses his reasons for condemning the "biographical illusion" and belief in the intentional unity of a person's life. There remains the difficulty in writing history and in knowing who at a given moment becomes the "dominant organizer" in the mass of encounters, affinities and conflicts. It is worth asking whether in Bourdieu's theorizing there does not remain a quest of "legal" relationships which might prevent accounting for an event, such as e.g. the event of his own practical commitment to social issues.
