Organizational Research and the Praxeology of Pierre Bourdieu
这篇评论探讨了布迪厄的研究方法及其在组织研究中的适用性,对比了历史唯物主义和福柯的权力观,并讨论了场域、资本、惯习等概念如何与现有组织文献关联。
This commentary explores the assumptions, concepts, objectives, labels, and empirical techniques that underpin, guide, and characterize the research approach and methodology of Pierre Bourdieu. To further understand his approach and its applicability in the context of organization studies, Bourdieu’s general project is contrasted with historical materialism and his view of power briefly compared to that of Foucault. Furthermore, Bourdieu’s concepts of field, capital, habitus, doxa, and symbolic violence, and his understanding of language are linked to current organizational literature and theory. His focus on relational analysis, “reflexivity,” and what the author refers to as the “construction of the research object” are similarly discussed. Finally, there is a consideration of the role of the researcher and a brief discussion of the implications and limitations of a Bourdieun approach.
