| Synopsis: |
At times controversial, always thought-provoking, Pierre Bourdieu is one of the most influential modern social and cultural theorists. In this in-depth, multidisciplinary analysis of the Bourdieusian concept of babitus, the embodied social and cultural environment, Niilo Kauppi initiates a dialogue between Pierre Bourdieu's theory and historical (Lucien Febvre), philosophical (Aristotle and C.S. Peirce), and sociological (Emile Durkheim and Norbert Elias) approaches to habits and subjectivity. Through terms such as action, arbitrariness, homology, and structure, the author examines the complex affinities between Pierre Bourdieu's ideas on embodiment and traditions in anthropology (Claude Levi-Strauss), linguistics (Ferdinand de Saussure), literature (Honore de Balzac), philosophy (Gaston Bachelard), and psychology (Lev Vygotsky). Niilo Kauppi offers a constructive basis for a re-evaluation of habitus, <> |
