The Pomoryans inhabiting the White Sea coasts constitute a very interesting group. Their origin goes back to late Middle Ages when the Slavonic settlers from Great Novgorod and Rostov-Suzdal Rus began to arrive at the shores of the White Sea. There they superimposed themselves on the population speaking Uralic languages, adopting many language and culture elements of other peoples, first of all the so-called Tchud’ Zavolotska. The natural condition forced them to base their economy on fishing, hunting (mostly sea animals) and cattle breeding. They developed ship building and navigation, making long sea journeys already in XVI c, travelling to such places as West Siberia, Novaya Zemla and Spitsbergen. They belonged mostly to Old Faith and very religious, thoug with numerous residual elements of pagan cults.Most of them lost their group self-identity aftre the creation of the USSR. At the beginning of the XXI c the local elite came up with the idea of reconstructing the group identity and turning it into a national one, based on the Pomoryan ethnolect.

Pierre Bourdieu’s social scientific concepts and theories are very popular among social scientists today. However, his early writings based on fieldwork in Algeria are far less well known, despite the fact that in was in these texts that his famous concepts and theories originated. This article sets out to examine the mutual relationship between Bourdieu and the Kabyle people from several perspectives. The author focuses on Bourdieu’s relationship to the fieldwork, his relations with Kabyle intellectuals, and at the role they played as his key informants and ‘experts’ on Kabyle culture. The article investigates to what extent and how in France Bourdieu defended the academic activities of the Kabyle people relating to their own culture. It also studies Bourdieu’s opinion on the Kabyle people’s emancipation efforts within independent Algeria. Finally, it looks at how familiar the Kabyle people are today with Bourdieu’s work on their society and culture and how his body of work is interpreted, taught at universities and used as a tool in the formation process of Kabyle collective identity. The article is based on a study of primary and secondary sources: Bourdieu’s scholarly writings, media interviews, his speeches at ceremonies, and his correspondence, and it draws on published interviews with Bourdieu’s friends and colleagues. The author also used her own fieldwork in Algeria as an auxiliary source of data.
