Subject: habitus


Hi, I have a question about habitus. The question is based on some
interesting discussion I had w. my friend and colleague Mattias Johnsson.
the question builds on some premisses. They are: Bourdieu argues that
habitus deals with sort of the everyday situations and is sort of an
automatic reaction to things that happen around the individual. O.k.? (This
is in a very simple and straight forward language). Also (second premiss):
the rational calculating/thinking (by an individual) is thereby something
else (than habitus).
Our question then, is: Where are B discussing the relation/distinction
between social habitus and rational and consious calculating? Any recent
sources/articles? We have read material from mid 1980's.
Also, if you have any comments regarding this relation/distinction, please
share them with us.

O.k.? Hope you all understood our query. Feel free to respond directly to
me, if you want to.

Sincerely
