>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.
