PIERRE BOURDIEU, SANG JURU DAMAI
Abstract: Pierre Bourdieu
built his theoretical orientation as a solution to what he saw as a false
opposition between objectivism and subjectivism; to quote Bourdieu: “absurd
opposition between individual and society”. Bourdieu offered a point of view
that emphasizes on duality in the relationship between agent and structure, as
an alternative to the previously existing dualistic views. Bourdieu refers to
his theoretical orientation as genetic structuralism, constructivist
structuralism or structuralist constructivism. Through the concept of habitus,
field, and capital, Bourdieu integrated objectivism (which emphasizes the role
of objective structure in social practice) and subjectivism (which emphasizes
the role of agent in social practice). Bourdieu formulated the theory of social
practice with the equation (Habitus x Capital) + Field = Practice. Practice, in
Bourdieu’s mind, is the product of the relationship between habitus and field,
wherein within field itself there are powers at stake, especially between
people with capital and people without capital.
