Between the end of real Socialism and the crisis of capitalism : a bourdieusian academic experience

This article develops a selfobjectivation focused on the significance of intellectual fields and subfields in Spanish academia. The author richly documents his stay in France, dealing throughout the paper with many sociological issues: politically engaged research, Marxism, international mobility, economic crises, the linkage between sociology and philosophy. This selfanalysis gives self objectivation a political bend: such activity should involve entering proactively into the civil sphere, taking a politically committed stance. [Publisher's text].
