Document Summary
French commonality: focus on social order and stability despite inequality: Lecture 16: bourdieu i: durkheim: organic solidarity, foucault: disciplinary power, bourdieu: habitus and symbolic domination. Key difference between marx and bourdieu: marx: power is owned by someone for. Bourdieu power is not owned but it is exercised by individuals. The power is exercised in social space for the habitus. Power is exercised and continued not just from the physical violence but the symbolic violence. For bourdieu power is diffused, economic, political and social. Power is concealed in worldly accepted ways of viewing the world. He is making conscious choice about critiquing marx to develop his theory of society and resistance. How does marx differ from bourdieu: three figures in the post-structuralist category: foucault, bourdieu, what is post structuralism, one is a critique of objective and subjective. Foucault challenged that we are the structure: habitus: we are the structure, we are internalized what the structural rules are.
