Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel skizziert einen neobourdieuischen Rahmen, um rassische Herrschaft zu überdenken. Er schlägt vor, (1) den Begriff „Race“ zu historisieren, um die fortwährende Komplizenschaft zwischen Alltagsverstand und Wissenschaft aufzudecken; (2) den geografischen Rahmen der Diskussion zu erweitern (indem wir West und Ost, Metropole u...
Zusammenfassung
Ich schlage vor, „Race“ als analytische Kategorie zu verwerfen, nicht aber als empirische Bezeichnung, die sich auf die Art und Weise bezieht, in der Akteure und Institutionen Menschen kategorisieren und Positionen auf der Grundlage einer naturalisierten Hierarchie stratifizieren. Rasse ist sowohl historisch als auch logisch eine Un...
My forthcoming book Bourdieu in the City: Challenging Urban Theory (Cambridge, Polity Press, 2023) is not intended as an eclectic combination of the structuralist and the phenomenological takes on the city rehearsing Pierre Bourdieu’s influential critique of the deadly antinomy of objectivism and subjectivism. Nor does it aim just to make room for...
The prison is linked to a multiplicity of social institutions and forces, including struggles inside the state. The notion of human rights is typically invoked by educated elites with a stake in applying supportive social treatment (the feminine Left hand of the state) in opposition to rival agencies who purport to resolve social problems through d...
I would like to start by extending my warm thanks to the participants of this conference—it is better to do so at its outset since we will likely have strong disagreements at its end. It is a paradox, but one of the main obstacles to advances in the social sciences nowadays resides in the social and temporal organization of research, with the uncon...
In the postindustrial city, relegation takes the form of real or imaginary consignment to distinctive sociospatial formations variously and vaguely referred to as “inner cities,” “ghettos,” “enclaves,” “no-go areas,” “problem districts,” or simply “rough neighborhoods.” How are we characterize and differentiate these spaces, what determines their t...
Despite longstanding, intense, and recurring clarifications there are still countless misinterpretations when it comes to the basic principles of Bourdiesian sociology.
The single greatest political transformation of the post-Civil Rights era in America is the joint rolling back of the stingy social state and rolling out of the gargantuan penal state that have remade the country’s stratification, cities, and civic culture, and are recasting the very character of “blackness” itself. Together, these two concurrent a...
I am thankful to the participants of the Sheffield conference “Rethinking Urban Inequality, with Loïc Wacquant” and to the contributors to the present volume for extending, revising, and questioning my work on polarization and marginality in the city. In this response, I spotlight points of agreement and zones of divergence. I stress in turn the ne...
This chapter draws an analytic map of the research programme pursued across my three books Urban Outcasts (2008), Punishing the Poor (2009) and Deadly Symbiosis (forthcoming). In this trilogy, I disentangle the triangular nexus of class fragmentation, ethnic division and state-crafting in the polarizing city at the century’s turn to explain the pol...
Bu söyleşi, Loïc Wacquant 17 Ocak 2014’te Hrant Dink İnsan Hakları ve İfade Özgürlüğü Konferansı’nda konuşmacı olarak Türkiye’ye geldiğinde, Boğaziçi Üniversitesi’nde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Söyleşi üç temel konu etrafında biçimlenmektedir: Kentsel marjinalliğin değişen yapısını ve ileri marjinalliğin özgün niteliklerini açıklığa kavuşturmak, Bourdie...
Bu makale, [International Journal of Urban and Regional Research’ün önümüzdeki iki sayısı boyunca] “Etkinlikler ve Tartışmalar” bölümünde yer verilecek olan “Bourdieu’yü Kente Getirmek” seminerinin ana hatlarını ele alıyor. Öncelikle, Bourdieu’nün Béarn ve Cezayir’de yürüttüğü, iktidar, mekan ve kentleşme temalı erken dönem çalışmalarını, Fransız m...
Sanayi-sonrası kentte sürgün, ‘şehir içi mahalleler’, ‘gettolar’, ‘yıkıntılar’, ‘girilmez bölgeler’, ‘sorunlu muhitler’ veya basitçe ‘sert mahalleler’ gibi kimi zaman gerçek kimi zaman da hayali çok çeşitli ve bulanık, özgün sosyo-mekânsal formasyonlara işaret eder. Bu mekânları nasıl karakterize etmeli ve ayrıştırmalıyız; güzergâhlarını (doğuşları...
Este artículo elabora la ontología social y la metodología de la sociología carnal como un modo distintivo de indagación social, evitando la postura espectadora para captar la acción-en-proceso, a raíz de los debates desencadenados por mi estudio basado en el aprendizaje del boxeo como un arte corporal plebeyo. Primero critico las nociones de agent...
The spectacular growth of incarcertion in the U.S. can hardly be explained by the genesis a "prisonindustrial complex," as suggested by some criminologists, journalists and justice activists. Instead we must look at the rise of the "liberal-paternalist state", in which the prison functions as part of a triadic institutional nexus: The penal system...
The anthropology of neoliberalism has become polarised between a hegemonic economic model anchored by variants of market rule and an insurgent approach fuelled by derivations of the Foucaultian notion of governmentality. Both conceptions obscure what is ‘neo’ about neoliberalism: the reengineering and redeployment of the state as the core agency th...
Dit artikel schetst een analytische kaart van het onderzoeksprogramma dat ik doorheen mijn drie boeken Urban Outcasts (2008), Punishing the Poor (2009) en Deadly Symbiosis: Race and Rise of the Penal State (2013) heb gevolgd. In deze trilogie ontwar ik de driehoekige vervlechting van klassenfragmentatie, etnische divisie en staatsvorming in de pola...
This article spotlights four transversal principles that animate Pierre Bourdieu’s research practice and can fruitfully guide inquiry on any empirical front: the Bachelardian imperative of epistemological rupture and vigilance; the Weberian command to effect the triple historicization of the agent (habitus), the world (social space, of which field...
This article frames the themes of the two-part Interventions section ‘Bourdieu Comes to Town’. I first establish the pertinence of Bourdieu's sociology for students of the city by revisiting his youthful work on power, space, and the diffusion of urban forms in provincial Béarn and colonial Algeria. In both cases, urbanization is the key vector of...
Class, ethnicity, and state in the making of marginality: Revisiting territories of urban relegation
In the postindustrial city, relegation takes the form of real or imaginary consignment to distinctive sociospatial formations variously and vaguely referred to as “inner cities,” “ghettos,” “enclaves,” “no-go areas,” “problem districts,” or simply...
Ich danke meinen deutschen Kolleg_innen für ihre kurzfristige Bereitschaft, sich mit den vielfältigen epistemologischen, theoretischen und empirischen Fragen auseinanderzusetzen, die mein Vorschlag zur „Urbanisierung Bourdieus“ (Wacquant 2017a), d. h. der Anwendung seiner charakteristischen Denkweise in Untersuchungen der Stadt sowohl als urbs w...
Este artículo destaca cuatro principios transversales que animan la práctica de investigación de Pierre Bourdieu y que pueden guiar de manera fructífera la indagación en cualquier frente empírico: el imperativo bachelariano de la ruptura epistemológica y la vigilancia; el mandamiento weberiano de realizar la triple historización del agente (habitus...
Dieser Beitrag zeigt die Relevanz der Soziologie Bourdieus für die Stadtforschung auf, indem er Bourdieus Frühwerk zu Macht, Raum und Urbanisierung im Béarn und Algerien aufgreift und es mit seinem Spätwerk verknüpft, in welchem er das soziale Leiden in der französischen Metropole analysiert. Es wirft ein Schlaglicht auf die vier übergreifenden Pri...
In 2014–2015, Aksu Akçaoğlu was a visiting scholar in the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, where he had come to work with Loïc Wacquant on his research on “the conservative habitus” in contemporary Turkey (with the support of the TÜBİTAK Science Program). In this dialogue, he invites Wacquant to explicate the philo...
This article introduces the themes and contributions to the double "Events and debates" section on "Taking Bourdieu to Town." I first establish the pertinence of Bourdieus sociology for students of the city by revisiting his early Béarn and Algerian work on power, space, and urbanization and linking it to his late dissection of social suffering in...
Loïc Wacquant (* 1960) analysiert in einer Vielzahl von Publikationen, wie die politische Ökonomie systematisch die Politikfelder der Sozial- und Kriminalpolitik strukturiert. Wacquant kann eindrücklich zeigen, dass die Neoliberalisierung zu einer parallelen und komplementären Umgestaltung der Sozial- und Kriminalpolitik führt. In dem Maße, wie die...
Prześledzenie filozoficznych źródeł i wczesnych zastosowań habitusu u Bourdieu – które wyjaśniały historyczne zerwania, spowodowane czy to wojną wyzwoleńczą w Algierii, czy to powojenną modernizacją francuskiej wsi – pozwala na skorygowanie czterech uporczywie powracających nieporozumień dotyczących tego pojęcia: (1) habitus nie jest nigdy repliką...
Aksu Akçaoğlu przebywał w latach 2014-2015 na Wydziale Socjologii Uniwersytetu Kalifornijskiego w Berkeley jako visiting scholar, gdzie wspólnie z Loikiem Wacquantem pracował na swym projektem poświęconym „habitusowi konserwatywnemu”. W poniższej rozmowie prosi Wacquanta o wyjaśnienie filozofii i pedagogiki jego słynnego seminarium prowadzonego w B...
Der Gefängnisboom in Amerika nach der Bürgerrechtsbewegung ist nicht auf Profitstreben, sondern auf die Staatsführung zurückzuführen. Folglich müssen wir die Schimäre „Gefängnis-Industrie-Komplex“ vernichten und die daraus abgeleiteten Geschichten von der Industrie rund um die Wiedereingliederung von Gefangenen aufgeben. Diese düstere, ökonomische...
Retracing the philosophical origins and initial usage of habitus by Bourdieu to account for the historical disjuncture wrought by the Algerian war of national liberation and the postwar modernization of the French countryside allows us to clear up four recurrent misunderstandings about the concept: (1) habitus is never the replica of a single socia...
In questo saggio Loïc Wacquant propone una messa a punto del concetto di habitus, correggendone alcuni fraintendimenti ricorrenti. In un primo momento ricostruisce brevemente la genealogia della nozione mettendone in luce le origini filosofiche e accennando all'uso fattone da alcuni classici delle scienze sociali. In seguito l'autore svolge una dis...

This article elaborates the social ontology and methodology of carnal sociology as a distinctive mode of social inquiry eschewing the spectatorial posture to grasp action-in-the-making, in the wake of debates triggered by my apprenticeship-based study of boxing as a plebeian bodily craft. First I critique the notions of (dualist) agent, (externalis...
Der Artikel diskutiert eine Reihe von Punkten rund um Pierre Bourdieus dispositionelle Handlungstheorie. Dabei geht es zunächst um eine Kritik der problematischen Vorstellungen vom (dualistischen) handelnden Subjekt, wie sie in den gegenwärtigen Sozialwissenschaften vorherrschen. Stattdessen wird ein alternatives Konzept des sozialen Wesens vorgesc...
Este artigo elabora uma cartografia analítica do programa de pesquisa perseguido ao longo dos três livros do autor: Urban outcasts (2008), Punishing the poor (2009) e Deadly symbiosis: race and the rise of the penal State (no prelo). Nessa trilogia, são desfeitos os nexos triangulares entre fragmentação de classe, divisão étnica e remodelagem do Es...
This short article presents the thematic issue of the Environment & Planning A journal, which builds on the analytic framework elaborated by Wacquant in Urban Outcasts (2008) and on the activities of the Leverhulme Network on Advanced Urban Marginality to synthesize and stimulate inquiries into the triadic nexus of symbolic space, social space, and...
This paper draws on my books Urban Outcasts and
Punishing the Poor, on the transformation of the forms and
policy management of marginality in advanced society, to probe the use of
space as a medium for social closure and control in the city. This first
part sketches a framework for the (comparative) analysis of sociospatial seclusion, the process...
In this response to my critics, I amplify the conceptual clarification and methodological stipulation of habitus begun in ‘Homines in extremis’ to help us move from a sociology of the body as socially construc-ted object to a sociology from the body as socially construc-ting vector of knowledge, power, and practice. The specification of habitus by...
The paper develops a deep criticism of the dominant approaches to the study of urban poverty in the United States. According to the author, these approaches simplify the notion of ghetto to the extreme, thus turning this concept into the equivalent to pocket of poverty and divesting the term of historical specificity, heuristic potential and psycho...
Por meio de testemunhos e de documentos de arquivo, proponho uma reconstituição das condições em virtude das quais Bourdieu recebeu, em 1993, a medalha de ouro do Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, a mais alta distinção científica na França, em reconhecimento ao estudo sobre a situação existencial e as armadilhas institucionais da consag...
Questo lavoro è suddiviso in due parti1. Nella prima considero le trasformazioni avvenute, sotto il profilo della realtà materiale e del discorso pubblico, nel ghetto nero dell’America dopo gli anni Sessanta, come risultato di due processi interconnessi. A livello socio-relazionale il ghetto ha subito un processo di “decivilizzazione” (decivilizati...
Pierre Bourdieu's recasting of the question of class exemplifies the major features of his sociology and the way he extends, melds, and mends classical views into a distinctive framework. The article traces the impetus behind the key conceptual shifts Bourdieu effects, from class structure to social space, from class consciousness to habitus, from...
A antropologia do neoliberalismo se polarizou entre um modelo econômico hegemônico, ancorado por variantes do domínio de mercado, e uma abordagem rebelde, alimentada por derivações da noção foucaultiana de governamentalidade. Ambas as noções dissimulam o que é “neo” no neoliberalismo: a reengenharia e a reestruturação do Estado como a agência princ...
I use the collection of "carnal ethnographies" of martial arts and combat sports assembled by Raul Sanchez and Dale Spencer under the title Fighting Scholarsto spotlight the fruitfulness of deploying habitus as both empirical object (explanandum) and method of inquiry (modus cognitionis). The incarnate study of incarnation supports five proposition...
Pierre Bourdieu’s recasting of the question of class exemplifies the major features of his sociology and the way he extends, melds, and mends classical views into a distinctive framework. Bourdieu’s approach is relational, agonistic, and synthetic; it spotlights the symbolic dimension of group formation as practical achievement while fusing theory...
In this short but dense piece, written for a special issue of the journal L'Arc devoted to the medieval historian Feorges Duby (whose sprawling oeuvre Bourdieu admired and drew on for its scrupulous genealogy of the mental-cum-social structure of the feudal triad of knight, priest, and peasant: see Georges Duby, The Three Orders (1982 [1978]), Bour...
Im Rückgriff auf Archivmaterialien und persönliche Zeugnisse rekonstruiere ich die Bedingungen, unter denen Bourdieu 1993 die goldene Medaille des CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), Frankreichs höchsten Wissenschaftspreis, entgegennahm, als ein außergewöhnliches Fallbeispiel des mit der wissenschaftlichen Ehrung verbundenen grundl...
Drawing on archival materials and personal testimonies, I reconstruct the conditions under which Bourdieu came to receive the Gold Medal of the National Center for Scientific Research, France’s highest science prize, in 1993 as a signal case study of the existential predicament and institutional trappings of scholarly consecration. Bourdieu’s award...
In March of 2003, the French Ministry of Justice launched a television advertising campaign aimed at furbishing the image of the country’s correctional administration and thereby attracting the 10,000-odd guards who must be hastily recruited to meet the programmed explosion of the country’s carceral population. Three months later, the numbers under...

This article explains how and why the prison has returned to the institutional forefront of the advanced societies, when four decades ago analysts of the penal scene were convinced it had entered into irremediable decline. Building on my book Punishing the Poor: The Neoliberal Government of Social Insecurity, I argue that (1) the expansion and glor...
This article reflects on the international reception of the book Prisons of Poverty as revelator of penal developments in advanced societies over the past decade. It shows that the global firestorm of "law and order" inspired by the United States that the book detected in 1999 has continued to rage far and wide. Indeed, it has extended from First-...
This discussion of Les Prisons de la misère (Raisons d'agir Editions, Paris, 1999 – expanded and updated English-language edition, Prisons of Poverty, Minneapolis, University of Minnesota Press, 2009) responds to queries put forth by the editors of R de réel and originally published in French in that journal in June 2000 (vol. 3, pp.33–8). It argue...

In diesem Kapitel erkläre ich, wie und warum das Gefängnis wieder in den institutionellen Vordergrund fortgeschrittener Gesellschaften getreten ist, obwohl Wissenschaftler/ innen, die sich mit der Strafinstitution beschäftigen, noch vor vier Jahrzehnten von seinem Niedergang, wenn nicht sogar von seiner Auslöschung überzeugt waren. Ich stütze mich...
In Punishing the Poor, I show that the ascent of the penal state in the United States and other advanced societies over the past quarter-century is a response to rising social insecurity, not criminal insecurity; that changes in welfare and justice policies are interlinked, as restrictive ''workfare'' and expansive ''prisonfare'' are coupled into a...
In „Bestrafen der Armen“ habe ich gezeigt, dass die sich im Laufe des letzten Vierteljahrhunderts vollziehende Rückkehr des
Gefängnisses an die institutionelle Frontlinie moderner Gesellschaften keine politische Reaktion auf durch Kriminalität bedingte Unsicherheit darstellt.

Pierre Bourdieu is widely regarded as one of the most influential sociologists of his generation, and yet the reception of his work in different cultural contexts and academic disciplines has been varied and uneven. This volume maps out the legacy of Pierre Bourdieu in contemporary social and political thought from the standpoint of classical Europ...
This article recounts how I took up the ethnographic craft; stumbled upon the Chicago boxing gym that is the central scene and character of my field study of prizefighting in the black American ghetto; and designed the book Body and Soul so as to both deploy methodologically and elaborate empirically Pierre Bourdieu's signal concept of habitus. Hab...
Volker Eick (VE): Your book "Punishing the Poor: The Neoliberal Government of Social Insecurity" is the second volume in a trilogy that unravels what you call "the tangled triangular connections between class restructuring, ethnoracial division and state crafting in the era of neoliberal ascendancy" (Wacquant 2009a: 315). Can you situate it in this...
Neoliberal penalty is paradoxical in that it purports to deploy ‘more state’ in the realm of the police, criminal courts and prisons to remedy the generalized rise of objective and subjective insecurity which is itself caused by ‘less state’ on the economic and social front in the leading countries of the First World. It reaffirms the omnipotence o...
ResumenLa formidable expansión e intensificación de las actividades de la policía norteamericana, las cortes criminales y las prisiones durante los últimos treinta años ha sido finamente dirigida, en primer lugar a la clase, en segundo a la raza, y en tercero al territorio, conduciendo no a un encarcelamiento masivo sino a un hiper-encarcelamiento...
The carceral boom in post-Civil Rights America results not from profit-seeking but from state-crafting. Accordingly, we must slay the chimera of the "Prison Industrial Complex" and forsake its derived tale of the "Prisoner Reentry Industry." This murky economic metaphor is doubly misleading: first, most released convicts experience not reentry but...
Este artigo amplia o diagnóstico de Tom Slater sobre as causas da gentrificação da pesquisa recente sobre gentrificação.2 Ele argumenta que o deslocamento de denúncia para celebração da gentrificação, a elisão do deslocamento dos residentes estabelecidos e o foco eufemístico em “mesclagem social” participam de um padrão de invisibilidade da classe...

The stupendous expansion and intensification of the activities of the American police, criminal courts, and prisons over the past thirty years have been finely targeted, first by class, second by race, and third by place, leading not to mass incarceration but to the hyper-incarceration of (sub)proletarian black men from the imploding ghetto. This t...
This article dissects the author’s approach to ethnography, social theory, and the politics of knowledge through a dialogue
retracing his intellectual trajectory and the analytic linkages between his inquiries into embodiment, comparative urban marginality
and the penal state. It draws out the practical connections and epistemological rationale beh...
This paper sketches a characterisation of the regime of urban marginality that has emerged in advanced societies since the close of the Fordist era, highlighting four logics that combine to produce it: a macrosocietal drift towards inequality, the mutation of wage labour (entailing both deproletarianisation and casuali-sation), the retrenchment of...
The sudden growth and glorification of the penal state in the United States after the mid-1970s (and in Western Europe two decades later) is not a response to the evolution of crime, but a reaction to-and a diversion from-the social insecurity produced by the fragmentation of wage labor and the destabilization of ethnoracial hierarchies following t...
This article examines the workings and effects of the penalization of poverty in urban Brazil at century’s turn to uncover the deep logic of punitive containment as state strategy for the management of dispossessed and dishonored populations in the polarizing city in the age of triumphant neoliberalism. It shows how ramifying criminal violence (fed...

Departing from the work of Pierre Bourdieu, the present paper outlines the genesis of the notion of habitus and provides an overview of some of its key theoretical properties. The paper also briefly explores the main sociological perspectives that have been developed around this notion.

A adoção de tal postura ou a negação da existência do fenômeno, entretanto, é amplamente criticada (Slater, 2006;Lees et al., 2016;Wacquant, 2010). Smith (1979) e Slater (2011, por exemplo, levantam a questão da propriedade privada como um instrumento de controle da cidade em uma economia liberal e chegam mesmo a falar de desinvestimentos e precarizações planejadas politicamente em prol de lucros mercadológicos futuros, deixando entrever as fortes ligações entre política, mercado e interesses privados: ...
... Segundo, a racionalidade neoliberal implica a introdução da lógica do mercado em esferas da vida fora do próprio mercado, com a consequente generalização das relações de concorrência, do modelo de gestão da empresa privada e da grade de análise econômica para o governo dos mais variados fenômenos sociais. Essa racionalidade política, portanto, atua em diferentes escalas, moldando o espaço do capitalismo mundial como uma globalização financeira e comercial, o Estado como um governo empresarial em concorrência por fluxos de investimentos internacionais, a sociedade como sociedade de mercado (com a população sendo governada como recurso para o mercado e pelo modelo de mercado) e a subjetividade segundo a figura do empreendedor de si mesmo (Andrade, 2015;2019a;2019b;Andrade, Côrtes e Almeida, 2021;Brown, 2015;Dardot e Laval, 2009;Davies, 2014;Foucault, 2004;Slobodian, 2018;Wacquant, 2012). ...

Since 2000, when Urry published the book Sociology Beyond Societies: Mobilities for the Twenty-First Century, an increasing number of authors have focused on mobilities as a concept that better captures the multitude of physical and virtual movements and the social and cultural impacts these new connections and movements entail Sheller & Urry, 2006;Urry, 2000). Mobility is essential for citizens' participation in society as it allows social relationships to be maintained and provides access to socioeconomic opportunities. ...
... En este artículo se analizan los resultados de una amplia investigación de corte etnográfico sobre las actitudes políticas de personas que encajan bien en la idea de marginalidad avanzada. Wacquant (2020) define esta forma de marginalidad como una situación en la que la exclusión social se convierte en un rasgo crónico en un contexto de debilitamiento de las políticas sociales, globalización de la economía y transformación de las ciudades. En este sentido, la idea de marginalidad avanzada está emparentada con la 'precariedad vital', una coyuntura también permanente y que vincula los problemas en el empleo con los modos de vida e incluso las identidades (Tejerina et al 2013). ...

... Weaver (2007) also recognizes the long-standing racial resentments that have enabled the proliferation of these narratives and given legitimacy to the expansion of the penal state. Thus, even with caveats, scholars agree that the social sensibilities of the "culture of control" have been fundamental for advancing "tough on crime" policies that reify symbolic boundaries between "deserving" and "undeserving" individuals (Garland, 2001;Wacquant, 2019). Consequently, understanding the sources of public opinion about punishment-and related policy responsesremains paramount. ...
... Second, the article addresses how the advanced marginality framework has tended to neglect housing, as Powell and Robinson (2019) argue, a neglect which Wacquant (2019) acknowledges. To some extent, Wacquant is being unfair to himself since Urban Outcasts includes several comments on housing, for example on the dilapidated state of buildings which reinforces marginality (Wacquant, 2008, pp. ...

Applying the conceptual repertoire of Bourdieu's topological sociology, Wacquant (2014;2017) aims to open a new path within urban sociology, which takes the plural power struggles into account while examining the physical space.
