“…41 The agents at the origin of the administrative field »are at the same time the producers of the state and its products«. 42 Through a discourse in which they described themselves as civil servants, 43 these agents created their own positions by advocating practices that they were the most competent to carry out. They achieved a monopoly because they were the only ones able to exercise this form of symbolic power.…”

This article explores how French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of fields, by encouraging a critical analysis of what the state does and produces, can bring a new perspective to studying the history of public administration. To do so, it explains how the theory can be used to perform historical analysis of public administration, and examine the case of the introduction of the merit system in the Canadian federal public administration to illustrate its perspective. The article concludes that the interplay among the theory’s core concepts – capital, field, and habitus – offers a reconceptualization of the study of administrative history that integrates historical, social, and political elements.

“…The lecture was published in 2012 under the editorial responsibility of his disciples Patrick Champagne, Remi Lenoir, Franck Poupeau and Marie-Christine Rivière (Bourdieu, 2012). Given the theme of the book, the pedagogic role of the transcribed lecture, and its two temporalities (that of the course delivery and that of its publication, a decade after the death of its author), a set of circumstances are brought together within it that directly interpellate some of the key concepts in the intellectual enterprise and currency of the French sociologist (Lenoir, 2012).…”

A book published in 2012 included the publication of the lecture course on the State delivered by Pierre Bourdieu at the Collège de France. The course was given at a time when Bourdieu's work had reached full maturity, and it completed, at the most generic level of significance -in the "geometral of all perspectives"-the analytical potential opened up by the main categories he used to approach the social world: habitus, field and, above all, capital or symbolic power, the true core of uncontested legitimacy and of the omnipresent domination that the state has acquired in the contemporary world. RESUMEN: El campo de los campos. El Estado según PierreBourdieu.-Un libro publicado en 2012 recoge el curso oral impartido por Pierre Bourdieu en el Collège de France acerca del Estado. Emplazado en una etapa ya de plena madurez del sociólogo francés, el curso remata en el nivel de significación más genérico -en el plano geométrico ("géometral") de todas las perspectivas-las potencialidades analíticas abiertas por sus principales categorías de enfoque del mundo social: el habitus, el campo y, sobre todo, el capital o poder simbólico, el auténtico núcleo de la legitimidad incontestada y del dominio omnipresente que ha llegado a adquirir el Estado en el mundo contemporáneo.
