<br /> ARIS, Jan 24 -- One of France's leading intellectuals, sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, has died, colleagues said on Thursday. He was 71. The daily Le Monde said Bourdieu, in recent years a champion of the anti-globali
<br /> sation movement, had died of cancer at the Saint-Antoine hospital in Paris on Wednesday.
<br /> Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, in a message of condolence, called Bourdieu "a master of contemporary sociology and a great figure in the intellectual life of our country."
<br /> A trenchant critic of capitalist society, Bourdieu began his academic career at Algiers University in 1958 when Algerian rebels were fighting for independence from French colonial rule.
<br /> His main work, Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste, published in 1984, remains one of the defining studies of the relationships between consumer behaviour and social class.
<br /> He had held the post of Professor of Sociology at the College de France, the country's most prestigious academic institute, since 1981.
<br /> Bourdieu, who trained as a philosopher and was also a noted anthropologist, is widely regarded as having profoundly reshaped sociological study since the 1960s.
<br /> His writings ranged widely over culture, art, politics, education, the media and literature and were accompanied by political activity and support for working-class struggles that made him an intellectual reference point for the left.
<br /> Bourdieu was born in Denguin in southwest France on August 1, 1930.
