	Review \| Habitus
		Habitus, spanning the last five decades of the 20th century, is the public and hidden history of computer science and the computer industry.
		Habitus is a testament to how the ubiquity of television has transformed human consciousness -- a human consciousness that is vividly probed, examined and imagined by Flint as he leads us through the tortuous inner lives of not only his major protagonists but of most of his supporting cast.
		Habitus, a first novel, is a work of startling confidence and assured artistic vision that blends theory, technique, wit and depth of compassion.

	Habitus
		The concept of habitus challenges the concept of free will, in that within a certain habitus at any one time, choices are not limitless -- there are limited dispositions, or readinesses for action.
		A large part of the concept of habitus is that it brings attention to the fact that there are limitless options for action that a person would never think of, and therefore those options don't really exist as possibilities.
		A person's habitus cannot be fully known to the person, as it exists largely within the realm of the unconscious and includes things as visceral as body movements and postures, and it also includes the most basic aspects of thought and knowledge about the world, including about the habitus itself.

	Gill Callaghan: Accessing Habitus
		Habitus is a valuable concept in explicating this because it enables us to understand a relationship between individual and collective levels.
		The habitus and field maintain a relationship of mutual attraction, and the illusion (illusio) is determined from the inside, from impulses that push toward a self-investment in the object; but it is also determined from the outside, starting with a particular universe of objects offered socially for investment.
		Habitus can be seen as the basis for this collective agency because it is the embodiment of a shared understanding.

		In such cases, valued social practices go on relatively undisturbed as long as the habitus is protected from crises (such as novel events that the existing structures cannot incorporate) and as long as all those who participate (or play the game) maintain the same investment in reproducing those practices or escape confrontation by alternative practices.
		The habitus is sustained by to prepon, whereby agents meet the demands of situations, and it is transformed by kairos, acts of seizing the advantage in defining the situation (which would include defining exigencies, addressors, and addressees).
		The habitus is the discursive encoding and embodiment of the shaping forces of power and economic capital.

	The Role of the Habitus in Shaping Discourses about the Digital Divide
		The habitus is used as a theoretical lens for explaining the prevailing perceptions of IT as a production-oriented tool, why these perceptions reflect the social milieu of urban working-class communities, and how these perceptions engender discourses that may unwittingly reinforce social inequities that structure the digital divide.
		Conversely, the notion of habitus is used to explain the paradoxes inherent in the daily-lived experiences of city residents struggling to overcome the negative effects of structural changes such as the loss of high- paying manufacturing jobs, the gentrification of urban neighborhoods, and welfare-to-work policies.
		Habitus is a useful construct for exploring how social agents' understanding of IT and the digital divide are informed by their lived experiences.

	Bourdieu's Key Concepts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The notion of habitus is meant to eliminate the false antimony between analysis of objective structures (a social physics) and subjective knowledge (a social phenomenology).
		The agents habitus is an active sediment of past experiences which functions in the present, shaping their perception, thought and action and thereby shaping social practice in a regular way.
		Because the habitus is a set of subjective structures that have their genesis in the experience of objective social perceptions, it is a “socialized subjectivity”; and therefore a subjectivity with an objective nature.

	John H. Scahill / MEANING-CONSTRUCTION AND HABITUS
		Habitus, a durable but transposable system of socially acquired dispositions, functions practically as the generative source of a universal capacity such that agents act inventively when they encounter conditions identical or analogous to those producing the habitus in the first place.
		Habitus is at one and the same time a “deep structural”; open-ended capacity for generating actions (analogous to Chomsky’s generative grammar) and a durable system of dispositions acquired through experience.
		Habitus, the product of conditioning factors, especially early conditioning, is the “condition” of the production of thoughts, perceptions, and actions which are not themselves the direct product of conditioning factors, though once manifested, such thoughts, perceptions and actions are made intelligible by the same cognitive and motivating structures that make up the habitus.

		The constructed habitus reflects the conditions of its existence and its relationship to other habitus because the values that are encoded in it are in relation to those of the dominant group.
		The habitus is influenced by the social trajectory of the class faction the agent belongs to, which, through the probable slope of the collective future, engenders progressive or regressive dispositions towards the future (Bourdieu 1984: 123).
		The habitus becomes an embodied history that allows the appearance of autonomous actions, but they are firmly located in the memory of the past, so that the habitus is used spontaneously without consciousness, but which really mirrors the social acceptance of past behaviour (Bourdieu 1990c:56).

	Pierre Bourdieu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His key terms were habitus, field, and symbolic violence.
		Bourdieu's influential concept of habitus was developed to resolve the paradox of the human sciences: objectifying the subjective.
		Thus Bourdieu sees habitus as the key to social reproduction because it is central to generating and regulating the practices that make up social life.

	Habitus
		Habitus II does not generate practices in the manner of habitus I. Instead, the field determines the habituses.
		The essential difference between these two is that in the general theory of habitus (I), habitus organize structures, which generate practices, while in the specific theory of habitus (II), habitus itself is generated by the structures.
		Habitus I, the general theory would be evolutionary in nature whereas habits II, the specific theory, would cover the mechanisms according to which the general dispositions are transformed into field-specific dispositions.

		Your habitus is shaped by the way you are socialised within the family, by your age peers and in the education system.
		However, particular families and patterns of individual experience also have a strong impact so each person's habitus is a complex mixture of nationality, class, family, gender and their own distinctive individuality.

		Habitus is ostensibly the story of three characters growing up as the post-World War II world changes into the Information Age.
		In the same way that Cryptonomicon was infused with the science of cryptography, the language of Habitus is drawn from the ideas of biology and mathematics and the physics of information and probability.
		While the language of Habitus is drawn from the world of science, the book lacks the usual symbols of science fiction.

	James Cunningham / HABITUS AND MISRECOGNITION
		I feel that Dr. John Scahill's appropriation of the habitus -- an appropriation designed to provide a theoretical grounding for the AESA report on the value of SFE (Social Foundations of Education) to teacher preparation -- is one of which Pierre Bourdieu would not approve.
		Two instances of the tenacity with which habitus ensures the reproduction of dominant structures, while creating the illusion that it is doing something quite different, come from Bourdieu's examination of innovations within the French universities in the late sixties.
		Bourdieu seems to me to hold that, in truth, institutions that actually alter the habitus of agents are the most repressive, and their structures of dominance the most totalizing.

		If this is what sticks in your memory, and leads you to that conclusion, then the cure is easy, since habits are not the only effects of habituation, and a thing that makes all the difference is indispensable but not necessarily the only cause of what it produces.
		We all arrive on the scene already habituated, in the habit, that is, of yielding to impulses and desires, of instantly slackening the tension of pain or fear or unfulfilled desire in any way open to us, and all this has become automatic in us before thinking and choosing are available to us at all.
		We noticed earlier that habituation is not the end but the beginning of the progress toward virtue.
