Resumen:
This work tries to bring into dialogue the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu and his critique about
the institutions, which symbolically provide and promote relations of domination, and
Christian worship. The first chapter tries to group various concepts of Pierre Bourdieu around
that what is called genesis of the relations of domination. After a small effort to approximate
Bourdieu and theology, will be offered an idea, from scattered elements of his work, of the
way in which social relations of domination arise and are reproduced. The relations of gender
are presented as an example where will be verified the view of Bourdieu. After this, it will be
pointed to the institutions that promote this process, indicated in his work: the family, church,
school and State. The second chapter provides an approach to the life story of Pierre
Bourdieu. It seems that his character bring him closer to theology. The concluding part of this
chapter brings together elements of the work of Bourdieu that remain as a critical balance to
be accounted for by theology. The third chapter brings aspects of the work of Pierre Bourdieu
to Christian worship. In this way, the concept of performance is used. This is an attempt to
build a bridge, which puts on the same line the critical reflection of Pierre Bourdieu and
discussions on worship and liturgy. The final chapter focuses on gathering fundaments for a
worship that is essentially refuter of a social order based on relations of domination. Seeks to
provide an idea of worship that consciously take its socio-political aspect of building the
society and use it in order to transform it into another, free of relations of domination.
