Abstract: Gerardo Ienna, Carmelo Lombardo, Lorenzo Sabetta, Marco Santoro This essay analyzes one of the major expressions of the sociological critique of sociological reasoning, the objectivation of the subject of objectivation, who should analyze the sociohistorical conditions of possibility of the very act of objectivation. Though Bourdieu’s invitation to a reflexive sociology of sociology has not been widely accepted and put into practice, the authors argue that its actual application actually brings about consistent payoff: this special issue represents but one installment. Reclaiming a place for socio-analysis, this paper highlights how this activity can produce a cognitive difference in the making of sociological research, insofar as its genesis and development are defined by the sharing of a specific thought style, existing within and because of an intersubjective framework.

Abstract: Bridget Fowler This essay originally interprets self-objectivation as utterly exceptional liberty (and privilege) of sociological observers. The author touches upon several dimensions of her social identity. Starting with the process of downward mobility undergone by her family, she goes over private issues such as her loss of faith and marital dynamics (as well as political engagement and relationship with academic institutions), linking her existential course to certain broader topics in particular: e´migre´s’ condition, split habitus, female subjugation, symbolic violence, interdisciplinarity.

Abstract: Lennart Rosenlund The author covers his long-lasting work on the social change of forms of capital in Scandinavia, expounding on methodological considerations (in particular, the combination of marxist thought and quantitative investigation of social phenomena) and the relationship between theory and research, standing by his decision to spend a whole career at a minor Norwegian university. The multidimensional analysis of compositions of capitals and the geometric modeling of data are explored as the most significant promise of Bourdieu’s sociological approach. Written in the third person, the paper stresses the primacy of fields and impersonal forces over the individual agent. PubDate: Wed, 15 Mar 2022 8:00:00 GMT

Abstract: Niilo Kauppi This portrait of Bourdieu’s laboratory in the early days describes the impact of the bourdieusian «tribe» on the author’s social destiny, especially to his attempt to develop a reflexive political sociology that explores the intertwinement of culture, power, and knowledge. Repeatedly, he depicts himself as an outsider suspended between several (geographical, disciplinary, and intellectual) worlds. Without directly addressing the issue of self-objectivation, the author puts it into practice as sociogenesis of several elements: relationships, collaborations, interests, oppositions/attractions, position-taking, scientific success.

Abstract: Annick Prieur This self-examination is programmatically centered on language, examined by the author at the same time as a medium of cross-cultural communication (her work as PB’s translator), the traces laid down that betray one’s background (the «undefinable» accent that marks her polyglotism), and a form of domination (English linguistic imperialism in contemporary academia). Almost in self-help terms, Bourdieu’s sociological theory is interpreted as an antidote to alienation, crucial to reappropriate one’s own voice PubDate: Wed, 15 Mar 2022 8:00:00 GMT

Abstract: José Luis Moreno Pestaña This article develops a self-objectivation focused on the significance of intellectual fields and sub-fields in Spanish academia. The author richly documents his stay in France, dealing throughout the paper with many sociological issues: politically engaged research, Marxism, international mobility, economic crises, the linkage between sociology and philosophy. This self-analysis gives self- objectivation a political bend: such activity should involve entering proactively into the civil sphere, taking a politically committed stance.

Abstract: David L. Swartz The author analyzes his contribution in introducing Bourdieu to the Anglophone world (and to the US in particular). By doing so, he presents the reader with an abundance of anecdotes designed to illustrate observations regarding intellectual autonomy, symbolic capitals, and the international circulation of sociological ideas. Self-analysis is viewed as a straightforward and blunt version of other standard, more euphemized, academic practices (like the introductory literature review that opens scientific papers): thus, it is also supposed to be a tool for writing better.

Abstract: Alicia B. Gutiérrez The author synthesizes the main pillars of her research agenda: marginality, deviance, and social classes. Her relationship with Bourdieu is carefully explored, together with her leading role of Bourdieusian scholar in the South American academic field. The interlocking of theory and practice is advocated, stressing the significance of political engagement. The broad, trans-contextual applicability of Bourdieu’s methodology is also emphasized, and so is the necessity to address the specificity of local research contexts.

Abstract: Karl von Holdt This paper holds together biographical materials, field analysis, position-taking preferences, and Bourdieu’s influence. A late adopter of the bourdieusian toolbox, the author explains his attempt to confront South African reality with Bourdieu’s thought rather than the other way around, also trying to establish the unconscious determinants behind apparently intentional choices. The author considers self-analysis as a conduit to self-awareness, particularly important insofar as unrecognized, tacit dispositions may actually guide scholars’ epistemological decisions more than they would like to admit.

Abstract: Naoki Iso Iso’s article painstakingly reviews his research on the epistemology of PB’s sociology. His biographical experience (especially the transition across three different countries, Japan, the US, and France) is presented and interpreted by using bourdieusian categories. The author argues that Bourdieu’s conception of reflexivity should not remain pure speculation but has to be concretely put into practice, with regard to everyday life situations PubDate: Wed, 15 Mar 2022 8:00:00 GMT
