From the year 2012, the Pierre Bourdieu Foundation in cooperation with the departement of philosophy and social sciences of the university of Crete, the cultural festival of the municipality of Tinos and the Cultural Foundation of Tinos proposes the establishment of a research mechanism devoted to meetings and exchanges among intellectuals, cultural and scientific producers, around social issues and current cultural challenges. A seminar will be held every two years in Tinos for the duration of one week and will bring together representatives from different countries, disciplines and scientific and cultural practices who share a critical point of view inspired by Pierre Bourdieu and his sociology but also by the form of an intellectual intervention associated with the name of “Raisons d’ Agir” of which he was the founder. At the same time, the concept of TINOS will be based on the prolongation of collective exchanges and productions of the network of ESSE (6th Framework Programme of the EU), which is formed by a large number of collaborators of Pierre Bourdieu from diverse countries and disciplines, it will be a first opportunity for the Foundation to bring together the conditions of social possibility of the “international collective intellectual”, an endearing term to Pierre Bourdieu.
