Bauhaus and Pierre Bourdieu's theory of practice

The philosophical platform of the modern French sociologist, philosopher, theoretician and anthropologist Pierre Bourdieu, represents a dominant conceptual means and analytical instrument used for researching artistic phenomena and the part they play in the society. Acting in the field of sociology, philosophy and sociology of culture, Bourdieu has redefined the perception of social reality, made an emphasis on the reconsideration of the foundation of objective scientific knowledge and has asserted the importance of researching practice in the socio-historical context. The starting point of Bourdieu's work is the problematization of his theoretical concepts of habitus, practice, capital and the fields used for enlightening of the practice and the influence of avant-garde and revolutionary Bauhaus school and movement. The aim and the focus of this work is to present new forms of the artistic-educational institution of Bauhaus as an active social participant, as well as its innovative and specific practice in constructing of the social environment. Using the analytical and historical methods and applying Pierre Bourdieu's theory in the transdisciplinary area and in the research of artistic phenomena, a change in social reality is shown through a change in the artistic and educational practices in the field.
