This unearths how these children may live in the same society, but effectively in different worlds, as Lahire as said in a summary. Lahire's latest publications represent a radicalization of the psychological sociology inherent in his thinking, with a two volume book dedicated to the sociological interpretation of dreams, the first of volume of which has appeared in English.
137:) from 2006. The book continues from a point made in The Plural Actor, that on the macro scale, it makes sense to describe classes as having or embodying dispositions that set them apart from other classes. However, once the focus is changed to the individual scale, one uncovers a great variety of dispositions, or at least, different cultural practices, which vary with contexts.
