Swordplaying with Bernstein and Bourdieu

Main Article Content

Abstract

I can't talk about Pierre Bourdieu without talking about Basil Bernstein, and vice versa. For me, the two ‘Bs’ are inseparable and, as such, form part of my own life story. In the space of five months - between September 2001 and January 2002 - we lost these great thinkers, perhaps those who most marked the development of the sociology of education in the second half of the 20th century. In the words of Tadeu da Silva, ‘there is probably no research and theorising effort in the more recent sociology of education that is comparable to that of Bernstein and Bourdieu’ (Silva, 1996: 11).
