Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how Bourdieu, in his habitas theory, seems fixated with the idea that people are purely subject to the whims of the greater society or the external forces of cultural and social interaction. Additionally, he seems to misconstrue the context that free market economies and, by extension, free market societies, operate under. That is, Bourdieu completely sublimates the behavior of the individual to the greater societal forces about him or her. According to the paper, Bourdieu believes that individuals are subject solely to the codes, conventions, mores, and folkways of the greater structural framework of society. Yet, this completely evades a full accounting of what a free market economy and free market society truly is. The paper argues that it is not that one or the other, free market principles or habitas, is more correct or applicable than the other; merely that one cannot be completely disregarded at the expense of the other.More papers on Contemplating Habitas:
