More Less | Sample translations submitted: 1 | French to English: Bourdieu & Sartre | Source text - French
Lorsque, dans le chapitre du Sens pratique, intitulé “L’anthropologie imaginaire du subjectivisme”, Bourdieu entreprend une critique du subjectivisme, il s'intéresse plus aux notions d’“action rationnelle”, de “calcul rationnel” et d’“économisme finaliste” qu'à Sartre : en effet, les actions individuelles et collectives sont sa préoccupation majeure dans ce chapitre, car c'est à partir d'elles qu'il donne un début d'explication de la nécessité de la notion d’habitus, tout en attaquant les défauts des théories philosophiques, sociologiques et économiques antérieures. On sait au demeurant que Bourdieu, comme en témoigne son livre majeur La Distinction, ne perd jamais de vue l’analyse sociologique, c'est-à-dire l'intérêt pour la manière dont chaque individu agit et réagit dans les milieux sociaux. | Translation - English
When, in the chapter in Practical sense entitled “The imaginary anthropology of subjectivism”, Bourdieu undertakes a criticism of subjectivism, he is more interested in the concepts of “rational action”, and “rational calculation” than in Sartre. In fact, individual and collective actions are his major concern in this chapter, as these are the starting point for the beginning of his explanation of the necessity of the notion of habitus, which he provides while simultaneously attacking the faults of previous philosophical, sociological and economic theories. We know that Bourdieu, as is evident in his major book The Distinction, never loses sight of sociological analysis, interpreted as an interest in the way in which each individual acts and reacts in social milieus. |
