The present paper will analyze the concept of social class from a theoretical perspective of the production of identities and communities and the role of the social subject within seminal works of Pierre Bourdieu and Charles Taylor. In both authors, the concept of social class appears connected to a central idea of subject that pervades the field of political action, defining temporally and spatially the objective possibilities of subjective action. Seeking a critical dialogue between these two authors, it is observed how the revision project of the concept of social class proposed by Bourdieu is engraved in a critical project of recognition both in its economic and socio-cultural realms
