Les Héritiers, published by Humanitas, presents the research of socially engaged intellectuals Pierre Bourdieu and Jean-Claude Passeron, who investigate why students from lower social classes continue to face low academic success despite the expansion of formal educational equality. Drawing on findings and statistical data from the European Centre for Sociology, the authors reveal the class-based disparities within the French education system of the 1960s. This work, regarded as a modern classic, analyzes how social order is maintained and justified within Paris’s higher education institutions in 1964, offering a critical perspective on the persistence of educational inequality and cultural privilege across generations.

Everyday Practice visually represents the inherited nature of class and cultural privilege through typography. The fragmented and scattered letterforms symbolize the structural inequality of education, while the use of red and blue—colors shared by the French and Korean flags—underscores the socio-cultural parallels between 1960s France and contemporary Korea.
