raxIs it spelled Bourdieu or Bordieu I can't even tell aaaaaaa. I think it's Bourdieu, but I keep seeing Bordieu? I dunno. Also I do not like this selection of readings but I want to take at least a few notes where there are things I find useful.
"Bourdieu's use of the term habitus as a 'feel for the game' in which the individual can exercise various strategies within the generative capacities of his or her habitus." This is helpful, actually.
habitus leasing to "misrecognition and elimination of possibilities" which also lines up with my understanding of Foucault/discourse which I mentioned in the last notes so I don't think I'm totally on crack there?
Dispositions are "socially produced" and are the component parts of a habitus I think? "another term for 'ethos'?" Every time I think I understand what people mean when they say ethics, something throws a wrench in it.
eidos/ethos as cognitive/emotional aspects of culture? pg108, Bateson, uh, OK!
"Because one's tastes appear to be natural, those of others can seem unnatural. Class endogamy results in large part, [Bourdieu] argued, from aversion to and intolerance of different lifestyles."
"emotion and sentiment" as "tied to social reproduction and material interests." That's a useful short phrasing.
119-120 "democritization of love" --- "Family feeling and love as a possible solution to problems of inequality (based on gender as well as class) in contemporary society." A rejection of pure rationalism.
Bourdieu did research on the area he grew up in and provided a very detailed emotional picture while attempting to erase himself. This was in... rural France, I think? Or maybe Algeria? This makes him a sympathetic character even if I really don't like his article. Ah, both rural France and Algeria. OK!
page 126 has interesting notes on "autoethnography'' and "emotional sociology" --- I don't know much about the methods of ethnography or sociology (my research background is English, and spotty given that, because my focus has been creative writing) but I should come back to these ideas once I've taken the methods class next semester. This may also be relevant to my desire to write first-person for my paper for this class, although that's less ethnography and more philosophy. I think? Maybe? I dunno what the hell genre I am writing. GENREQUEER. There we go.

Is that a recursive definition? O_o Okay, looking at it again, it's not recursive (which would've been neat), just poorly worded.
Every time I think I understand what people mean when they say ethics, something throws a wrench in it. eidos/ethos as cognitive/emotional aspects of culture?
It sounds like this person is invoking the idea that ethical statements have no meaning beyond the disposition or emotions they reveal in a person, most famously articulated by Ayers.
