Summary/Abstract: In this study, I propose a comparative analysis of the strategies through which intellectuals build their symbolic capital, starting from the theoretical models developed by Pierre Bourdieu and Edward Said. The study explores how Thomas Pavel, an exponent of the Romanian 1960 literary generation, initially used the structuralist paradigm to consolidate his prestige and professional image, both before and after leaving Romania. Subsequently, he radically distanced himself from this paradigm. Furthermore, the paper examines two other models of “efficientization” and redirection of symbolic capital, namely the relations between Tzvetan Todorov – Russian Formalism, respectively Julia Kristeva – Mikhail Bakhtin.
