Abstract:
ItiswellknownthatPierreBourdieudidnotdevelopaqualitativemethodcomparablewith
the construct of the social space (La Distinction) allowing the analysis of habitus. The
present
paper
sketches
an
outline
of
such
a
model,
based
upon
field
research
on
the
PentecostalmovementduringwartimeinGuatemala(1985)andvalidatedwithPentecostals
inmany occasions during 1995 to 2003 in LatinAmerica. Themethod is based upon the
theoriesofhabitusandpractical logic. Itprovidestechniquesfortheanalysisofqualitative

Thedescriptivemodelatthecenterofourconsiderationswasdevelopedinthecontextofa

two and a half years in 1983, 1985 and 1986.3 For the present paper it is enough to
concentrate on two religiously and socially contrasting samples: NeoPentecostals in the
modernizinguppermiddleclassandClassicalPentecostals in the traditional lowerclassof
Guatemala(Schfer2006).Thus,GuatemalanPentecostalswillservetoillustratethemodel

Iwillcombinethemodelforhabitusanalysiswithoneofthesocialspace.SoIwillpresent
two interconnecting formal models based upon Bourdieus theory: the space of religious
styles and the praxeological square and network. First, I will outline some brief
considerationsonmy readingofBourdieu.Second, Iwillexemplify theuseof themodels
with some data on Pentecostalism; third and fourth, Iwill add some notes on themore

of
the
model
of
habitus.
1.SomeannotationsonBourdieu
For my approach it is most important that Bourdieu relates social structures, their
perception and action in a way that vanquishes the separation of what he calls social
physicsofDurkheim and idealist semiologyofGarfinkel (Bourdieu 1984: 483). For the
context of Bourdieus theory of habitus. A methodological approach to analyze the habitus of

sake of a clear conceptual distinction and better mutual relation but precisely not for
separationIdistinguishbetweenlogicofpracticeandpracticallogic:Logicofpractice
saysthis ishow itworksaroundherewhereaspractical logictellsthis ishowwedo it.
Thus,
the
logic
of
practice
connotes
very
much
the
models
of
social
space
and
field;
practical
logic isrelatedtothedispositionsoftheactors.Habitus linksboth,asfaras it is intimately
combinedwiththesocialpositionsoftheactorsandtheirspecificopportunitiesinthefields
of action. The logic of practice is understood as condition of operation and principle of
structuringthepracticallogic;andpracticallogicenablestheactorstoperceivethelogicsof
practice,tojudgeandtoact.Consequentlypracticallogicstructuresidentitiesandstrategies
oftheactorsand,hence,againthe logicofpractice.It ispreciselythis interactionbetween
logicof
practice
and
practical
logic
that
overcomes
the
separation
of
social
physics
and
social semiology. It is important to note that things, institutions and practices exert a
semiotic forceandeffect;and thatsignsexertapragmatic forceandeffecton institutions
andpractices.Therefore, inrespecttothepractical logicofgivenactorsandthe logicofa
given practice, things, institutions, practices and signs can be seen as operators of such
praxis.Lookat,e.g.,asentencelikeWearerightinthemiddleoftheendtimes.Thisisnot
simplyareligioussignorthedesignationofarealstateofaffairs.Morethananythingelse,
suchaphrase
is
apractical
operator
that
generates
specific
ways
of
perception,
judgment
andaction,thatis:astructuringactivitywithinandonthelogicsofpracticeorsimply:praxis.
So, by the way, the terminological distinction between practical logic and logic of
practicesimplyrefers to thesubjectiveandobjectivesideofpraxis.
Conceivingpraxis
like this, I intend tounderscore the rootsofBourdieusunderstandingof the term in the
youngMarx(ThesesagainstFeuerbach)and,finally,intheAristotelianconceptofbios.4
However, theoperatorsofpractical logic come tobe relevant for the collective identities
andstrategiesoftheactors.Operatorsofpracticallogicareembeddedorstoredwithin
thehabitusof theactorsasdispositions.Theconceptofdispositionaclue forBourdieu
himself talking about the habitus (Bourdieu 1980) underscores the readiness
(predisposition, inclination, preference) of actors for certain (and not other) perceptions,
4 So it remains obvious that we do not refer to thejuxtaposition of theory (in the sense of
intellectual vision) and practice (in the sense of acting). In my understanding it even might be
bettertospeakoflogicofpracticesinpluraltoavoidanyidentificationofpracticewithpraxis.

interferes intothefield.Havingadispositionreliesverymuchonthephysicalandaffective

quite
similar
to
a

or

It
is
the
concept
of
disposition
that linkscognitionclosely to sensorialhumanpraxis (asKarlMarxwouldhave it).As the
conceptofdispositionstressesthereadinesstoperceive,tojudgeandtoactofreal, living
human beings (instead of universal structures of the spirit, as Claude LeviStrauss would
postulate) itunderscoresaswellthatthehabitusarechangingandmodifyingaccordingto
thefluctuations(conjuncture)oftheconditionsinfieldsandsocialspace.
Briefly: dispositions are incorporated operators of practical logic that are linked to one
anotherby
logical
relations
and
in
the
form
of
anetwork.
(This
is
the
operational
basis
to
conceiveofidentityasanetwork,too.)Buthere,theissueatstake isanotherone.Itisthe

Consequently

at

Asthemodel focusesonthetransformationofexperience intomeaningandmeaning into

Nevertheless,
the
model
of

is
not
enough
to
reconstruct
the objective position of the actors at stake, neither in fields nor in the social space.
Thereforewecomplement themethodbya secondmodel: the social space,according to

The theoretical space is constructed according to Bourdieu (1984). It is modeled as a
coordinate system by the implementation of two different forms of capital: economic
(income)andcultural(education).Theverticalaxisconsistsoftheaggregationofbothforms

In order to achieve broad international compatibility we reduced the indicators to the most
necessary.Economiccapitalisconceivedonthebasisofincome(equivalenceincomea.s.f.);cultural
capital is conceived as formal education and is scaled according to the International Standard
Classification of Education (ISCED byUNESCO).Of course it may be that social relations in given
societies follow other criteria of structuring than the ones of economic and cultural capital (e.g.
seniority).

political behaviour of evangelicals is much more determined by their beliefs than by their
denominationalaffiliation.

Summing
up,
we

society according to their correspondence with certain social positions and with their

Now,theanalysisofreligioushabitus,usingoursecondmodel,allowsspecifyingwithvery

praxeological square and network inform about their religious dispositions. We now

Praxeological square: Neopentecostals modernizing upper middle class
A brief look at the NeoPentecostals in the uppermiddle class shows a religious praxis
centered on the quest of social power (see axes): on the level of experience power is
threatened,whileonthe levelofreligious interpretationthequestofpower isdecided.
Theactorsexperiencea threat to their socialpositionofuppermiddleclass (through the
guerrilla movement, paramilitary forces, economic crisis and a loss of control over their
personallives).ThisisbeingansweredbytheNeoPentecostalChurchpromisingthepower
of theHolySpiritonto thebelievers.Thus, theNeoPentecostal faithconstitutes thenew
religious identity of spiritually empowered individuals. These individuals, finally, are
endowedwith
the
capacity
to
combat
the
originators
of
the
experienced
threat:
the
demons. Thus, power turns out to be the central pattern for identity and exorcism the
centralstrategicpattern.

The

by
the
interview quote at the beginning of this article. It shows how practical metaphors as

from personal wellbeing to economy, to politics and even to military action.10
The
instrument of the network shows that religious identity politics anchor intimately in the
religiousconvictionsoftheparticularactors.Thisalsomeansthatforreligiousconvictions,in
onewayortheother,socialandpoliticallivingconditionsalwaysmatter.
This is also the case with Classical Pentecostals,who most vigorously affirmed to be a
political.Theirsocialpositionsimplybreedsdifferentreligiousdispositions.
In the traditional fractions of the lower class we find Classical Pentecostal praxis build
around the quest for survival (continuity of history). People feel that they lack any
possibility to shape their future, due to poverty and fierce military repression (loss of
futureetc.).
They
counteract
this
situation
with
the
promise
of
being

from this world during the near second coming of Christ. This hope results in their new

that

praxeological square.Bothare, in termsof theory,developedoutofBourdieusnotionof

Methodically they are intended to serve for reconstructing practical
dispositions of interviewees. The model of the praxeological square is a sociological

Theanalyticalmodelofthesquare,forsocialresearch,hastofulfillcertaindemands.First,a
formal instrument, in itself not operating with presupposed religious content, allows for
observing, if religion is at all important for the actors and, additionally, lets the religious
preferences of the actors emerge as the clue for understanding their praxis. Second, the

Instead, it should show how people generate practical sense as a sense for their praxis

Greimas and Rastier developed their model of a semiotic square out of a medieval
combinationof
the
basic
logical
relations
in
Aristotelian
logic.
Three
basic
relations
have
been used during history precisely to structure the transformations in logical syllogism:
implication, contrariness and contradiction. These basic relations are culturally universal,
since in any culture people know the relations of causality (rain implies awet street), of
difference(greenversusblue)andofmutualexclusion(lightversusdarkness).12

logic.
Nevertheless,

into

whetherweare talkingabout Abeing B ina certainaspect,perspectiveor context. In sucha
case, the difference between European and Asian ways of thinking are no longer as grave.

Praxeological square: cognitive transformations
Looking at the cognitive operations that relate experience and their interpretation, the
model shows that the basic logical operations flow between positive and negative
experiences and correspondingmeaning ascriptions. They carry out two transformations:
theepistemicandtheactionoriented(expressedbytheblackandgreyarrowsrespectively).
Theepistemic
transformation
(black
arrows)
operates
under
the
axiomatic
dichotomy
betweenpositiveandnegativemeaning,which is to say thatclearcutascriptionsand
explanations interpretcomplexcontextsofactionandexperience,e.g.byascribingreasons
for existence. In this way, the model helps to describe how experience, from its first
moment,isbeingunderstoodnotonlyaccordingtohabitualschemesofevaluationbutalso
according toperceivedopportunitiesandconstraints.Correspondingly, theactionoriented
transformation (grey arrows) helps todescribehow conceptsof action arebeingmolded
according to the forms of perception and evaluation of experience, and not only by

opportunities and constraintsof the field. In a formal sense: theprocessesof structuring
experienceanddesigningactioncanbeunderstoodashomological.
These
transformations
constantly
relate
the
complex
and
fuzzy
context
of
action
with
more
or less clear cut categories of interpretation. It is these transformations where meaning
arises.Meaning,thus,isnotsimplyareflectionofsocialstructuresorsomethingalike;itisa

andaction.Meaningisinvolvedinaction.Andforthisreason,actionitselfandthechangeof
opportunitiesandconstraintshavedirecteffectsonmeaning.Socialrelationsandmeaning
ascription, therefore, should be and can be described together. We can then see that
perceivedopportunities
and
constraints
as
well
as
grievances
and
self

the
actorsaresimplypartofoneandthesamesetofcognitivedispositions.14
Intermsofsocial
movement theory this implies the following: The term for negative experience can be
understoodasperceivedcrisisorasgrievances,sincesocialmovements,accordingtoNew
SocialMovementtheory,reacttosuchevents.Thetermofreasonsforpositiveexperience
can be understood as perceived opportunities, and the term of reasons for negative
experience as perceived constraints, according to Resource Mobilization theory.
Correspondingly,the
model
allows
for
asystematic
empirical
integration
of
identity
and
strategyorientedapproaches.
14Thismeansthat,forexample,thetermfornegativeexperiencecanbeunderstoodasperceived

since

theory,

Meaning
is
itself
an

of

praxis.
It
doesnot simply represent states of praxis, but, by virtueof being usedby humans for

While
one
(in
our
case
the
interpretation)
affirms
and
negates universally, the other one (in our case experience) affirms and negates
partially. In terms of Greimas, the first is neutral, the second complex. In our
sociological use of the model, this means that the terms of interpretation of experience
represent a clear cut meaning ascribed to fuzzy experience. As the actors ascribe
according to their habitus, social position and interest meaning to experience, they
generateclearconceptsofexperienced socialprocessesand structures thathelp them to
shapetheir
perceptions,
judgments
and
actions.
This
is
the
case
with
any
interpretation.
Religious praxis, however, often counts with a stark difference between experience and
interpretationalterms.Thisis,precisely,thereasonforitssocialpower.15
