I cannot add the abstracts of everyone here because I couldn't find the contents online to just copy and paste, but the abstract for mine is: Karl Maton Reflexivity, Relationism and Research: Pierre Bourdieu and the epistemic conditions of social scientific knowledge Pierre Bourdieus epistemic reflexivity is the corner-stone of his intellectual enterprise, underpinning his claims to provide distinctive and scientific knowledge of the social world. In this paper I consider what this notion offers for research and how it needs to be developed further to underpin progress in social science. First, I argue that many reflexive research practices are sociological, individualistic and narcissistic and contrast this to Bourdieus conception of epistemic reflexivity as epistemological, collective and objective. I then illustrate how, despite his intentions, this conception when enacted tends towards the very pitfalls it is intended to avoid. Building on a developing conceptualisation of the relations of knowledge, I identify this problem as intrinsic to Bourdieus framework, showing how it bypasses the significance of knowledge structures and so provides the social but not the epistemological conditions for social scientific knowledge. I argue that Bourdieus reflexivity objectifies objectification but needs development to help achieve objective knowledge. I conclude by introducing the notion of epistemic capital as a first step towards developing a properly epistemic reflexivity and so realising the potential of Bourdieus enterprise. -- With best wishes, Karl WHEN REPLYING: PLEASE MAKE SURE MY EMAIL ADDRESS HAS NO POP IN IT.
