Subject: Re: Aristotle and Bourdieu on habitus


Dear Mark,
you can read Gilbert Rist, *La notion me'die'vale d'habitus dans la
sociologie de Pierre Bourdieu* (Revue Europe'enne des Sciences Sociales,
vol. XXII, n. 67, 1984), and François He'ran, *La seconde nature de
l'habitus. Tradition philosophique et sens commun dans le langage
sociologique* (Revue Française de Sociologie, vol. XXVIII, n. 3, 1987).
They do not say much about Aristotle, but are two of the very few works
which deal with the history of the concept. As far as Arostotle's hexis, an
interesting analysis which can be useful also for Bourdieu is the one by
E'mile Benveniste in *Proble'mes de linguistique ge'ne'rale*, chapter VI. 
Regards,
Paola
