La distinction

In La distinction (2023–present, La Découverte), sociologist Pierre Bourdieu's landmark study of taste and class is reimagined as a graphic novel, translating dense theory into a visual, narrative form. This single-issue comic adapts Bourdieu's core concepts—how social status shapes our preferences in art, food, and culture—through clear illustrations and accessible storytelling. The project is a thoughtful, experimental entry in the growing field of comics-as-scholarship, offering a fresh entry point to a foundational sociological text.
