Summary/Abstract: The article shows the possibilities of using Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical achievements on the basis of Jeffrey C. Alexander’s strong program. It is possible to solve the problem of reductionism by reinterpreting Bourdieu’s key concepts in through the lenses of Yuri Lotman’s semiotic theory of culture. Lotman’s understanding of culture, including the reproduction and creation, allows to explain not only how structures affect individuals, but also how individuals use structures.
