Subject: Re: discussion group


Interesting question but I cant agree with you deb!
As I recall Bourdieus opinions, he´s favouring both agency and structure
since, in his opinion, it´s pointless to keep them a part (I belive he
wrote that in "In other words, 1994, stanford university press). Its the
relation between them that is in focus. Personally I think its a nice try
to take the theoretical discussion a bit longer down the road. It could
also be interpreted as another ballgame in which case it impossible to try
to connect ideas built on them apart and ideas assuming they are not. To me
it means;  think twice on what kind of order you, as a researcher, are
oriented towards or prefer to put on to your empirical data, and something
like, put yourself in conflict with established ideas in order to start
questioning what it is you reproduce as a researcher. I know too little
about Giddens to have an opinion.
