This book explores the thought of Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most
influential sociologists of the twentieth century, proposing a
modification and extension of his concept of habitus. Building on
Bourdieu's notion of the translational reproduction of social
structure - the idea that while social classes move in the same
direction, dominant groups are able to preserve their relative
power position, thus maintaining the structure of the gap - the
author proposes that as social structures change, habitus change
correspondingly, and thus become plural. Informed by Norbert Elias'
process sociology, this volume offers examples of habitus
pluralisation, arguing that this modification of Bourdieu's thought
renders it more suitable for the study of social changes and
represents the development of a path that Bourdieu himself had
begun to explore in the later stages of his career. As such it will
appeal to scholars of sociology and social theory with interests in
historical sociology, process sociology, social structures and the
thought of Bourdieu.
