CASAGRANDE, Rosana de Castro  e  MAINARDES, Jefferson. The Academic Field of Special Education and the Use of the Term "Field". Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2021, vol.27, e0016.  Epub 15-Jun-2021. ISSN 1980-5470.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1980-54702021v27e0016.

This study aimed to analyze, within the academic field of Special Education, national and English-language productions that use the term "field". Through a bibliographic research, 34 works that used the term and its designations were selected. As a theoretical foundation, the following authors and themes were listed: a) concepts of field, scientific and university field by Pierre Bourdieu (1974, 1975, 1989, 2003, 2004, 2011); b) concept of field institutionalization (Gómez Campo & Tenti Fanfani, 1989, Suasnábar & Palamidessi, 2007) and concept of academic field (Hey, 2008a, 2008b). The results pointed to the use of the term in a broad, diversified and generic way and without theoretical deepening. Five categories were listed on its use nationwide and three in English. There are similarities in the use of the term in both languages, with respect to: b) Interface between Special Education and Education: c) Notion of field related to knowledge, field of research and production of academic goods; d) Teacher training space in/to/from Special Education; e) Absence of systematic use of the term with theoretical basis that indicates its origin.
