[en] This article discusses the three decades of
transition to democracy from the conceptual
perspectives of Max Weber and Pierre Bourdieu.
The author considers that the habitus created
during the military Republic (1930-83) constitute
a political culture that hinders normal political
development. Two stages are divided. During the
first is observed the formation of a political field
and a political class that entered into collapse
with the protests of 2001. In the following,
started an acute crisis of political parties which
today raises serious questions about the future of
the institutions.
