Tende, portanto, a gerar práticas consistentes com o estado anterior do campo em que os atores operam e que podem não ser fácil ou rapidamente adaptáveis as novas circunstâncias 14 .…”

Objetivo: Descrever os efeitos simbólicos da implantação da Casa de Saúde Indígena no campo da saúde no período de 1973 a 1983 em Boa Vista, Roraima, Brasil. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo histórico com abordagem da micro história orientado por análises documentais e a teorização dos resultados balizada nos conceitos do sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu. Resultados: Ao todo o corpus documental foi representado por quatro registros imagéticos. As imagens foram analisadas com o intuito de produção de reflexões que versam sobre os efeitos simbólicos de implantação da Casa de Saúde Indígena. Conclusão: A Casa de Saúde Indígena de Boa Vista-RR emerge como pano de fundo no cenário desenvolvimentista da época, como (e representou) moeda de troca simbólica entre os governantes e os indígenas que sofriam com a entrada de doenças em suas comunidades pela ação direta do processo migratório devido ao garimpo em suas terras.

“…With the formulation of field theory, we have in a sense come full circle: from a critique of the classical model for its reduction of contention, through a growing delineation of contention as a distinct object of study in itself, to a repositioning of contention as one part in the underlying reality of collective strategic action. I note that some applications of field theory to contention are less radical in their call for a broadening of the research object (e.g., Ancelovici 2021; Crossley 2002, 2003; Matthieu 2019). I take up these approaches in my discussion of experiences in the following.…”

A Sociological Perspective on the Experience of Contention

Contention in the form of protests, riots, and direct action is a central political practice in contemporary democracies. It is also a staple of sociological analysis, after slowly crystallizing as a distinct object of analysis from the 1970s onward. Lately, however, it has become unclear what this distinctiveness consists of and how it may help guide studies of contention: What distinguishes contention from other practices? I argue that contention can be seen as an ontologically distinctive experience. What sets this experience apart is that it expresses a potential for conflict that underlies all social formations. We can take these expressions of conflict as objects of analysis. This means asking how the conflict expressed in contentious practices is ascribed meaning. I develop this perspective theoretically and show how it may facilitate new empirical analyses of contention’s boundaries, its relation to truth, and ethical relations in contention.

“…Extant Bourdieusian literature suggests that if small sub-fields have freedom from encompassing institutionalized fields then they can better meet the nuanced requirements of those within the field rather than being influenced by macrocosmic rules (Dubois & Méon, 2013;Grenfell & James, 2004). However, an autonomous field may also lead to 'hysteresis' where unregulated contextual rules are constantly changing, meaning field participants are unsure of their place or where they fit (Ancelovici, 2019).…”

Volunteer tourism fields: spaces of altruism and unsustainability

Drawing upon research from six volunteer projects in Cambodia, this paper explores the volunteer host community as a 'space' that has its own rules and normalized ways of behaving that influences the assistance prospective beneficiaries receive. Underpinned by Bourdieu's theory of field's, qualitative interviews and participant observation is conducted with both volunteers and hosts. This paper concludes that volunteer project rules are not homogeneous and that normalized ways of behaving can lead to unregulated and unsustainable practice but also integrated and productive outcomes. This suggests a more regulative and structured approach to volunteer tourism led by media and volunteers themselves may enhance the sustainable foundation of the sector.
