He's work is dominated by a sociological analysis of the social hierarchies reproduction mechanisms. He was pioneer an investigative frameworks anda terminologies such as cultural, social, and symbolic capital, and the concepts of habitus, field or location, and symbolic violence to reveal the dynamics of power relations in social life.
