2. Tentative Extensions due to Empirical
Challenges
• Main focus is on a single field - difficulties in
exploring cross-field action
• Downplays plurality of logics of practice and
individual plurality of identities
• Downplays subjectivity, as habitus is read as
outcome of one’s social trajectory through
objective positions
• Although Bourdieu insists in preserving agentic
‘reflexivity’ and ‘creativity’, how the switch
between routine and novel action takes place is
underspecified
