Toward an Intersectional Theory of Practice: Integrating Pierre Bourdieu’s and Patricia H. Collins’s Thought

The article pursues three main objectives. First, I review and clarify the core philosophical foundations of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice and Patricia H. Collins’s intersectional theory. Second, I examine the proximity of these two epistemological frameworks by comparing them with concrete references and practical examples. Finally, I investigate the synergistic possibilities of integrating the two political theories, highlighting conceptual and methodological gaps that further integration could address. This comparative analysis provides the groundwork for effectively developing an intersectional theory of practice.
