This article addresses the works of Pierre Bourdieu, specially those writings in which the author intended to comprehend the popular culture. This approach recovers Bourdieu's definitions of culture and society, and the relationship that ties them together. From Bourdieu's theory of fields, this article enquires about structuring, reproduction, and differentiation modes in societies. Finally, from and against Bourdieu's proposal of a popular culture, this article intends to move into a different definition that recognizes the potentialities of the subordinate classes to break with the domination and subvert, by means of creation, the symbolic order or the status quo.
