Code for Thought

Who is Pierre Bourdieu

23 Mar 2021

Description

Talking about sociology in software development is rare. But that is exactly what happened at a meet-up I went to in Paris in 2019. Fabien Lamarque, software craftsman from Bordeaux, gave a presentation on what sociology can teach us in terms of team dynamics and team structure. Specifically, the work of Pierre Bourdieu, a leading French philosopher and sociologist. In this episode we talk about a number of important aspects facing today's software developers: team structure, flat teams and hierarchy and how télétravail - remote working - has impacted all of that during the pandemic. Here is a list of books and links mentioned in this episode: https://fabien-lamarque.eu/Bourdieu-and-sociology-in-software-development/ - Fabien's Blog post in English on Pierre Bourdieu and here in French https://fabien-lamarque.eu/les-impacts-de-Bourdieu-sur-les-coding-dojo/Jo Freeman's position paper on 'The tyranny of structurelessness' https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htmCulture and Power: The sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, an introductory book by David SwartzPierre Bourdieu: vie oeuvres concepts (French) Patrice BonnewitzMutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution, by Pëtr KropotkinExtreme Programming Explained, by Kent Beck  Get in touchThank you for listening!
