Pierre Bourdieu
Part 1
A. Habitus
Habitus is not the fate that some people read into it. Being the product of history, it is an “open
system of dispositions that is constantly subjected to experiences, and therefore constantly
affected by them in a way that either reinforces or modifies its structures.“1

Bourdieu, Pierre, and Loic J. D. Wacquant. "The Purpose of Reflexive Sociology (The Chicago Workshop)." In An
Invitation to Reflexive Sociology. University of Chicago: Blackwell Publishers, 1992. p. 133.
