Quotes by Loïc Wacquant (?)

“The social world is thus liable to two seemingly antinomic readings: a ‘structuralist’ one that seeks out invisible relational patterns operating behind the backs of agents and a ‘constructivist’ one that probes the ordinary perceptions and actions of the individual. Bourdieu contends that the opposition between these two approaches is artificial and mutilating. For ‘the two moments, objectivist and subjectivist, stand in dialectical relationship’.”
