| Description | Theoretical perspectives diverge in what they allow us to see. The phenomena observed cannot be separated from a theoretical sensibility making particular features of the social world visible. In this sense, the empirical mapping of the social world cannot be performed without the implicit or explicit guidance of a conceptual scheme — a way of looking at and speaking about the world — which establishes the phenomena relevant to us. Therefore, making sense and talking about our social theories also depends on the highlighted, perceived, and the observed world we can discuss. To reflect on the possibilities of dialogue between incompatible perspectives and the inevitable connection of observation to theoretical preconceptions, I will focus on the _genealogy_ of three interrelated concepts: the sociological concept of habitus, the philosophical concept of absorbed coping, and the psychological concept of embodied understanding. |
