Habitus

Bourdieu, 1997
The structures constitutive of a particular type of environment. . . produce habitus, systems of durable, transposable dispositions, structured structures predisposed to function as structuring structures, that is, as principles of the generation and structuring of practices and representations which can be objectively regulated and regular. . . without being the product of the orchestrating action of a conductor.

[...]

The habitus, the durably instilled generative principle of regulated improvisations, produces practices which tend to reproduce the regularities immanent in the objective conditions of the production of their generative principle. . . as defined by the cognitive and motivating structures making up the habitus.
