Социоанализата. Залози и хоризонти на една разбираща социология
Socioloanalysis. Stakes and Horizons of a Comprehensive Sociology

Summary/Abstract: The following article offers a detailed close-up reading of chosen parts of the collective work The Weight of the World (1993), published under Bourdieu’s direction. By scrutinizing the original research practices and operative concepts such as „active listening“, „understanding“, „reflex-reflexivity“, „benevolent disposition“, „autoanalysis“ of the socioanalytical programme, which Bourdieu bequeathed to us in a fragmentary form, the main intention of this paper lies in revealing its broad methodological scope which cannot be reduced to simple conceptual analysis. Alongside the discursive level, the socioanalysis works also through analytical regard towards all the accompanying affective changes in the interviewees’ behaviour. Thus, its complex strategy preconditions a new and authentic approach to marginalized phenomena such as positional suffering and symbolic violence seized through their effects in the shared biographical narratives or illusions. The socianalytical programme deserves a new reappropriation in the field of social sciences in the light of the affective turn in phenomenology both as a condition for symbolic therapy and comprehensive view to the everyday pathologies.
