In mid-2011, I had the pleasure of meeting Jose Luis Moreno Tab in the Seminar of Young Researchers “Research Experiences” that have been organizing a group of doctoral students in the Faculty of Political Sciences and Sociology, COMPLUTENSE university of madrid through the Master’s degree in socio-Cultural Analysis of Communication and Knowledge (Department of Sociology, V -Sociological Theory-). Then, with the assistance of some of the lectures and through his two blogs —which I will present in this entry— I feel privileged to keep in contact with him with some frequency.
Precisely so prolific that it is to publish in an open manner in the Network texts and resources very interesting in sociology, philosophy, epistemology of the social sciences and sociology of the body and mental illness, among many other topics of interest to sociology in general, the websites of José Luis Moreno could not miss in the section of Sociology in a Network of Cisolog. In addition, I consider it to Jose Luis as a partner of Cisolog. He was kind enough to grant permission without reservation to publish a very interesting text about The profession of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, Jean-Claude Passeron and Jean-Claude Chamboredon, and videos of one of his lectures on Think the democratic habits with Michel Foucault conducted for the working group ‘theoretical Discussion’ of the Plaza del Carmen in Granada, after the events of the 15M.
*Hexis is the aristotelian concept that Aquinas and Boethius, translated into Latin as hábitus. In these authors, the habitus plays a key role as intermediate, on the one hand, between the act and the power -through the habitus transforms the potentiality inscribed generically by the beings in a specific capability of performing acts-, and on the other, between the outer and the inner -explain the internalization of the external ligand and the past history of the updates present. After this term was used and developed by many thinkers, but it is in Bourdieu, where the habitus is going to receive at the same time a systematic formulation and sociological.
