Habitus, culturalism, uses of digital social networks : a perspective
Key Words : Habitus,digital social networks,uses,field sociology,Bourdieu,Habitus,réseaux socio-numériques,usages,sociologie de champs,Bourdieu
Abstract
This text tackles the use of socio-numerical networks through the prism of the habitus, as developed by Pierre Bourdieu. It argues that the latter necessarily has a cultural dimension; not in an essentialist, organic sense, but as a socio-historically situated construct, the product of learning linked to given space-time. The argument developed stems from empirical research on the use of the LinkedIn platform by Greek and French expatriates.
