To Change the World

More social reproduction. Pierre Bourdieu, "Social Space and Symbolic Power:"
To change the world, one has to change the ways of making the world, that is, the vision of the world and the practical operations by which groups are produced and reproduced...

The power of imposing a vision of divisions, that is, the power of making visible and explicit social divisions that are implicit, is the political power par excellence: it is the power to make groups, to manipulate the objective structure of society.
