Dukuen, Juan. Habitus y dominación en la antropología de Pierre Bourdieu. Una crítica desde la fenomenología de Maurice Merleau Ponty. Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires: Biblos. 2018. 337 pp.

Abstract

This book by Juan Dukuen genealogically addresses the work of Pierre Bourdieu, recovering his initial anthropological production to later systematize and propose an opening to the notion of habitus and to the theory of symbolic violence. In a proposal that tries to avoid the problem derived from the "manualization" of Bourdieu concepts, Dukuen recovers the influence of the Merleaupontyan phenomenology present in Bourdieu's philosophical trajectory. From there, he proposes an original way out of the logic of adjustment - that is, the "double correlation" between objective structures and subjective structures; between symbolic power and symbolic violence - reinstalling in the theory of symbolic violence the ambiguity and indeterminacy present in the logic of practice.
