Abstract

This article presents a reading of the cultural and creative production field in contemporaneity based on the concept of cultural production field and its economic and symbolic logics developed by Pierre Bourdieu. It presents first, a chronological analysis of the development of cultural policies, as well as the expansions the field of cultural production suffered in the last 80 years. Then, it explores the theoretical-methodological structure, more specifically the concepts of field, habitus, and capitals (social, cultural, and symbolic), developed by Bourdieu to formulate the notion of cultural production field and its economic and symbolic logics.
