Habitus
Thesis: this concept connects historical usage, contemporary interpretation, and AST relation with explicit certainty labels.
Established HistoryWhere this fits
Tradition: Critical Sociology. Related thinkers: bourdieu, marx.
Habitus names the durable, embodied dispositions people acquire through repeated participation in structured social worlds. It explains how social regularities become practical sense without reducing action to conscious rule-following.
Relation to AST
In AST terms, habitus helps bridge meso-level institutions and recurring micro-level affective exposures. It offers a historical-social account of how stable contexts become lived tendencies.
