Things said, things unsaid
 
Bourdieu was born "Pierre Felix Bourdieu" in Denguin  
(Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in southern France on 1 August 1930, to a postal worker 
 and his wife"; 
 
Strictly, he was born to a wife and a postal worker, no?
 
"Gascon was the language spoken at home. He married Marie-Claire Brizard in 
 1962;"
 
In Gascon. They married in Gascon.
 
"The couple had three sons, Jérôme, Emmanuel and Laurent."
 
----SHE chose most of the names.
 
"Bourdieu was educated at the lycée in Pau, before moving to the Lycée  
Louis-le-Grand in Paris, from which he gained entrance to the Ecole Normale  
Supérieure."
 
-- where "normal" contrasts with _abnormal_ (The French system of  
education).
 
"Bourdieu studied philosophy with Louis Althusser in Paris at the École  
Normale Supérieure. After getting his agrégation Bourdieu worked as a lycée  
teacher at Moulins from 1955 to 1958 when he then took a post as lecturer in  
Algiers. During the Algerian War in 1958-1962, Bourdieu undertook 
ethnographic  research into the clash through a study of the Kabyle peoples, of 
the 
Berbers  laying the groundwork for his anthropological reputation. The result 
was his  first book, Sociologie de L'Algerie (The Algerians), which was an 
immediate  success in France and published in America in 1962."
 
--- It was notably NOT a success with ALGERIANS!

"In 1960 Bourdieu returned to the University of Paris before gaining a  
teaching position at the University of Lille where he remained until 1964. From 
 1964 onwards Bourdieu held the position of Director of Studies at the 
École  Pratique des Hautes Études (the future École des Hautes Études en 
Sciences  Sociales), in the VIe section, and from 1981, the Chair of Sociology 
at 
the  Collège de France, in the VIe section (held before him by Raymond Aron 
and  Maurice Halbwachs). In 1968, he took over the Centre de Sociologie 
Européenne,  the research center that Aron had founded, which he directed until 
his  death."
 
The VIe section is very important. Compared to the I, II, III, IV, and V  
sections.
 
"In 1975, with the research group he had formed at the Centre de Sociologie 
 Européenne, he launched the interdisciplinary journal Actes de la 
recherche en  sciences sociales, with which he sought to transform the accepted 
canons of  sociological production while buttressing the scientific rigor of 
sociology. In  1993 he was honored with the "Médaille d'or du Centre National 
de la Recherche  Scientifique" (CNRS). In 1996, he received the Goffman Prize 
from the University  of California, Berkeley"
 
After Irving Goffman, of "face" fame.
 
and in 2001 the Huxley Medal of the Royal Anthropological Institute.[5]  
Bourdieu died of cancer at the age of 71."
