This tombstone is a fairly ordinary looking one amongst the grandeur of Père Lachaise. It commemorates, however, a very famous sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu and his wife Marie-Claire. B wrote "Outline of a Theory of Practice", oft cited by archaeologists but, I suspect, rarely actually read. The English translation is very dense. More interesting (to me at least) is that he collaborated with the great French statistician Jean-Paul Benzécri in the use of Multiple Correspondence Analysis, esp. in La Distinction.
