Habitus is most associated with the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. He describes the connection between social class, culture, and consumption. Bourdieu’s habitus comes from the class dispositions of one’s youth and proceeds to form an internal logic by which one judges and makes choices of taste, of distinctions (as his book was titled), and between cultural objects. Class is more than a social position to Bourdieu. Class is an embodied status coming with unconscious rules telling us why some things are better than others.
