is a pervasive embodied response, discrimination, motor skill, which together add up to an interpretation of what it is to be a person, an object, or an institution.

Bourdieu sees that our practices embody pervasive responses, discriminations, motor skills,etc., which add up to an interpretation of what it is to be a person, an object, an institution, etc. (dreyfus 'being in the world' 17)

is a process of transforming labor into products. Society consists of economic, political and ideological practices.

Any process of transformation of a determinate product, affected by a determinate human labour, using determinate means (of production).

is a set of relays from one theoretical point to another. Theory is, by the same token, defined as 'a relay' from one practice to another. No theory can develop without eventually encountering a wall, and practice is necessary for piercing this wall.

Practice is a set of relays from one theoretical point to another, and theory is a relay from one practice to another. No theory can develop without eventually encountering a wall, and practice is necessary for piercing this wall. For example, your work began in the theoretical analysis of the context of confinement, specifically with respect to the psychiatric asylum within a capitalist society in the nineteenth century. Then you became aware of the necessity for confined individuals to speak for themselves, to create a relay (it's possible, on the contrary, that your function was already that of a relay in relation to them)... and this group is found in prisons -these individuals are imprisoned. (Deleuze 1972 : 1) IT WOULD BE INCORRECT TO SAY YOU WERE APPLYING YOUR THEORY RATHER IT WAS A SYSTEM OF 'RELAYS' WITHIN A LARGER SPHERE -'GROUPUSCULES'It would be absolutely false to say, as the Maoist implied, that in moving to this practice you were applying your theories. This was not an application... nor was it a project for initiating reforms or an enquiry in the traditional sense. The emphasis was altogether different: a system of relays within a larger sphere, within a multiplicity of parts that are both theoretical and practical. A theorising intellectual, for us, is no longer a subject, a representing or representative consciousness. Those who act and struggle are no longer represented, either by a group or a union that appropriates the right to stand as their conscience. Who speaks and acts' It is always a multiplicity, even within the person who speaks and acts. All of us are 'groupuscules.'(2) Representation no longer exist... there's only action-theoretical action and practical action which serve as relaysand form networks. (Deleuze 1972 : 1)

the practice of translation remains a risky operation which is always in search of its theory. (Ricoueur 2006: 33)

is an intensifier of thought just as thought is a multiplier of the forms and domains for the intervention of political action.

Do not use thought to ground a political practice in Truth... nor al action to discredit, as mere speculation, a line of thought. Use political practice as an intensifier of thought, and analysis as a multiplier of the forms and domains for the intervention of political action. (Foucault in D&G 'anti-oedipus' xiii)

is, by no means, to suggest we 'apply' ideas but rather to put them to the test and modify them. The key to the personal poetic attitude of a philosopher is not to be sought in his ideas but rather in his philosophy-as-life, in his philosophical, life, his ethos.

If I have insisted on all this 'practice,' it has not been in order to 'apply' ideas, but in order to put them to the test and modify them. The key to the personal poetic attitude of a philosopher is not to be sought in his ideas, as if it could be deduced from them, but rather in his philosophy-as-life, in his philosophical, life, his ethos. (foucault reader 374)

is concerned with how practice reproduces the system and how the system may be changed by practice.

How does practice shape the system' There are really two considerations here-- how practice reproduces the system, and how the system may be changed by practice' (Ortner 1984:154)

is constructed on the dispositions which are inherent in habitus and unfolds as 'strategic improvisations goals and interests pursued as strategies against a background of doxa that ultimately limits them.

For Bourdieu, practice is constructed on the dispositions which are inherent in habitus and unfolds as 'strategic improvisations goals and interests pursued as strategies against a background of doxa that ultimately limits them' (Parkin 1997: 376)
