Philippe Corcuff, born in 1960, is a French academic, lecturer in political science at the Institute of Political Studies in Lyon since October 1992 and member of the CERLIS laboratory (Centre de Recherche sur les Liens Sociaux, Université Paris Descartes / CNRS) since October 2003. Politically committed to the left, he defines himself as an “anti-globalization and libertarian activist”.[1]
Sociologically speaking, he had started in study with a socio-ethnographic approach, within the scope of his thesis, the building of social groups, through railroaders’ trade unionism and, wider, the workers' movement. He offers then a reading of the Pierre Bourdieu’s critical sociology, emphasizing on the “post-marxist” aspect of his social criticism, while pointing out several contradictions and inconsistencies. He did so especially in the book Bourdieu Autrement (non-translated, in English: “Bourdieu, differently”).[2]
