Subject: To measure habitus


Hej list!
I had a seminar yesterday. It was about my manuscript (dissertation). I got
remarcs and critique. I want to share some remarks with you. Why? Because I
get these remark many times, and I'd like your comments on it or any other
aspect of habitus, empirical study based on Bourdieuean sociology, etc.
The remarks: "Well, Kent, you talk about habitus in the first part of the
manuscript. How are you going to measure it? What specific variables are
you interested in, to capture habitus? Do you have good empirical data to
use?"

Have you heard these kinds of remarks before?

Sincerely

Kent Lofgren
