In Algeria, Bourdieu knew that he was trying to
describe a society which was in the process of
becoming an independent nation state. By asserting the
primacy of perception over cognition, phenomenology
provided the stimulus for presuppositionless
observation, operationalised non-verbally in
photographs, which could ensure that descriptions were
not predetermined by the discourses of Western
European social and political sciences.
