Subject: Re: Structure and agencey



I'd be interested in the person who initiated the question (I don't haver
the name at my fingertips I'm afraid) to elaborate on the 'power' of the
concept of 'habitus'.  Sure, it resolves some philosophical dichotomies.
But can it be operationalised?  If it is a structured structure and a
structuring structure, then how can one conceptualise the structure, so we
can tell when it has changed or stayed the same?
