Abstract
Bourdieu's analysis of social classification is to expand its interpretation based on understanding of the duality of social world.Using his unique analysis tools: habitus,practice,capital,field,he gives a detailed explanation on formation,screening and practice effected on the actors from the perspective of the political operation.Bourdieu used generative structuralism thinking,getting rid of the fog of how the social order may be.For him,any sociology of knowledge or cultural theory must be a kind of political sociology about social classification.
