Abstract

This paper aims, from a comparative study, stimulating debate about the fundamental theoretical issues present in Giddens and Bourdieu, namely: the individual and the social structure.

From this perspective, Giddens and Bourdieu have proposed as central to their analyzes elucidate the problem of the relationship between the action of individuals and social structure.
