This paper’s intent is to discuss the legacy left by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Ten years after his death, it has been discussed at an international level the relevance of this author, one of the most cited and influential theorists in the world. To identify such influence in Brazil, more specifically in the Brazilian educational field, we investigated theses and dissertations found in CAPES database, which referenced Bourdieu, to identify how those works use his theoretical framework of analysis for construction of knowledge in that field. It was concluded that the number of productions held in post-graduate programs in education in Brazil, from 1965 to 2010, grows exponentially, demonstrating how useful the use of Bourdieu’s sociological theory has been to explain the reality of education in Brazil nowadays. We conclude the article with a comment on the consideration of Bourdieu’s status as a classic of sociology which, paradoxically, is more current and alive than any other author when it comes to applying your larger principle, namely, the analysis of the social world and its logical, unveiling the forms of domination and social misery.
