In this episode, I will attend to one of the lesser known texts of Pierre Bourdieu: The Peasant and His Body. The text was published as a  chapter in Bourdieu's last book and as a separate article in the journal Ethnography. The body takes centerstage in this ethnographic analysis of the lifeworld of the peasant in Bourdieu's home region of Béarn.
