“…These objectifiable historical relations, i.e., the structures, existed as an imperious, reified and hypostatized way to these criticized scholars, who pushed such structures into agents, making them act according to a certain previous assumed conduct. For example, agents belonging to a particular class structure would exhibit practices in an expected pattern for that class, whether it was bourgeois or proletarian (Alves, 2016;Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992;Peters, 2013Peters, , 2017aVandenberghe, 2013).…”

“…Hence, Bourdieu takes the conceptual leap towards a sociology of perceptive and cognitive possibilities still situating agents in structurally situated positions. Furthermore, the French author brings forth that agents' bodies influence their objectified practices and signals to the mandatory interaction between individuals and social spaces to engender such practices (Alves, 2016;Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992;Caetano, 2011Caetano, , 2013Correa, 2015;Peters, 2013Peters, , 2017aVandenberghe, 2013).…”

“…By following these procedures, Bourdieu uses the authority of science as the main alternative to acknowledge the conditions weighing over agents. Moreover, the degrees of freedom for actions are deemed based on the recognition of determined social structures, and it is the social scientist's projective position that can provide objective meaning to agents' practices (Correa, 2015;Peters, 2017a). Therefore, Bourdieu accentuates the privileged role of social sciences and their prominence for analyzing realities.…”

“…Although on the level of interactions agents may believe they are reflexive beings, in fact, when they think about themselves and their conditions, their reflections tend to be drawn back to structural and symbolic conditionings implicit to their position in the social space (Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992). Without the scientific work and its reflexive turn, reflexivity itself turns out linked to the objective social conditionings that were intended to be unveiled at first (Bourdieu, 2004a(Bourdieu, , 2004bBourdieu & Wacquant, 1992;Correa, 2015;Peters, 2017a).…”

This article aimed to discuss how Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of reflexivity was conceived, and how it influenced and was developed by Bernard Lahire’s in his sociology. To operationalize the way the concept is articulated, but emphasizing its development by Lahire, this paper presents as an empirical case how reflexivity was engendered in José Francisco Bernardes Milanez’ biographical trajectory, a historical environmental activist from the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The central argument we defend is that the Bourdieusian-inspired concept of reflexivity has a certain objectivist and structuralist weight, which gives a secondary role to individuals’ reflection capacity and agency. Despite this weight, reflexivity acts as a mediator between structures and their individual agency within actors’ social lives. In this sense, reflexive capacities can be better understood and analyzed by considering the ways individuals connect their daily practices, dialectically and concomitantly, with reflexive processes. This article emphasizes that sociological analyses at the individual level can be potentially more substantive if they consider structure, agency, and reflexivity in an integrated way. Finally, we argue that the conceptual and argumentative association of elements from the two authors helps to avoid false antinomies.

O debate sobre as leis, as instituições jurídicas e o judiciário de uma forma geral tem assumido, principalmente no Brasil, um lugar central para a compreensão das questões que envolvem o direito e a política. Com essas relações em mente, efetivamente preocupado em localizar o direito dentro de sentidos que assumam, direta e indiretamente, conotações morais, pergunto: como abordar a relação entre direito e moral não perdendo de vista uma discussão propriamente política, uma discussão sobre poder? Para responder a esta questão, parto da sociologia do campo jurídico, recuperando a reflexão bourdieusiana sobre o lugar do direito no problema da ordem social. Depois, levando em consideração as críticas que Bourdieu recebeu, principalmente relacionadas ao conceito de agência e ao lugar da reflexividade, tento relê-lo à luz do pragmatismo francês, mais especificamente do trabalho de Luc Boltanski. Assim, concluo que a relação entre lei e moral pode ser analisada a partir do conceito de instituição jurídica, desenvolvido por Boltanski, adaptando-o para fundamentar um marco pragmático para a sociologia do direito, preocupado com a relação entre direito, moral e política.
