Abstract
This paper aims to explore the logic of cultural practice in contemporary society by critically re-examining Bourdieu's concept of habitus. Bourdieu presumes habitus of classes as general and transposable, that which unifies varied cultural practices. But, taking seriously the existence of cultural ominivores into account, we need to reconsider his formula. In terms of its socio-historical conditions, Lahire comprehends the social actor as incorporating heterogeneous and even contradictory dispositions at the level of “habitus of individuals”. This framework will contribute to escaping the caricature of the social world seen in Bourdieu and allow the analysis of multiple cultural practices.
