Abstract

The central proposal of this article is to raise questions about Bourdieuʼs theory on the development of an applied political project. After going through this question, it presents broadcasting as a field for cultural and political practices. Questions will be raised such as developments of contemporary cultural pratices which have to do with the general analyses of Bourdieu. According to the same analysis, could someone try to establish appropriate political answers to developments in television in the United Kingdom and in Europe nowadays?
