From: "Iain Stewart" <IAIN-AT-LAW.LAW.MQ.EDU.AU> Date: Mon, 17 Jun 1996 10:29:02 GMT+1000 Subject: Re: Info Request: Geneology of "Habitus" Dear All My response to Doug Dalton's query and to the comments so far circulated is that Bourdieu's own reference to Panofsky is to a very minor comment, as well it might be on Panofsky's part since introductions to Catholic theology (and I have dipped into a few) reveal `habitus' as a well established theological concept. Since I am not a theologian, I won't bother anyone with references to what I happen to have come across by browsing, but hope that someone with expert knowledge may be able to cast better light. One question arising from this is why Bourdieu is being so coy. Thanks, Doug, for raising the general question. > Date sent: Fri, 14 Jun 1996 09:45:27 -0400 > To: bourdieu-AT-jefferson.village.Virginia.EDU > From: ddalton-AT-longwood.lwc.edu (Doug Dalton) > Subject: Info Request: Geneology of "Habitus" > Send reply to: bourdieu-AT-jefferson.village.Virginia.EDU > Bourdieu Scholars: > > I am trying to trace the intellectual geneology of Bourdieu's term > `habitus'.
