Embodied habitus

Article Abstract:

Each field of practical knowledge, or embodied habitus, is verbalized and transmitted in various ways, with differences in culture, language and sociological factors bringing forth a wide variety of 'local knowledges'. The plurality and incommensurability of embodied, practical knowledges, should be recognized and respected, because any attempt to systematize or centralize this diversity will result in sacrificing the rich localities of knowledge in the name of global knowledge.
