HERNANDEZ, Silvestre Manuel. Cognitives Structures and Focus on Gender in Bourdieu. Polis [online]. 2006, vol.2, n.1, pp.13-41. ISSN 2594-0686.

This research deals with the function and use of language, in the type of society characterized by Pierre Bourdieu as androcentric: the Kabyle. The fact of epistemological and social structures, the symbolic and real domination, the reproduction of language and power, the possible de-construction of patriarchal discourse, all are remarked. Also, the elements linked to the symbolic capital that operate into the collective imaginary are explained, and how this matter converged in the creation of one space and a function determined for men and women within the society.
