  Il faut convenir qu'il est impossible de vivre dans le monde, sans jouer de temps en temps la comédie.   Ce qui distingue l'honnête homme du fripon, c'est de ne la jouer que dans les cas forcés, et pour échapper au péril ; au lieu que ...more

Rumi

“To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
Leonardo da Vinci

“I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a superpower.”
Banksy

Pierre Bourdieu
“Those who suppose they are producing a materialist theory of knowledge when they make knowledge a passive recording and abandon the “active aspect” of knowledge to idealism, as Marx complains in the theses on Feuerbach, forget that all knowledge, and in particular all knowledge of the social world, is an act of construction implementing schemes of thought and expression, and that between conditions of existence and practices or representations there intervenes the structuring activity of the agents, who, far from reacting mechanically to mechanical stimulations, respond to the invitations or threats of a world whose meaning they have helped to produce.”
Pierre Bourdieu, Distinction

Pierre Bourdieu
“The entire destiny of modern linguistics is in fact determined by Saussure's inaugural act through which he separates the ‘external’ elements of linguistics from the ‘internal’ elements, and, by reserving the title of linguistics for the latter, excludes from it all the investigations which establish a relationship between language and anthropology, the political history of those who speak it, or even the geography of the domain where it is spoken, because all of these things add nothing to a knowledge of language taken in itself. Given that it sprang from the autonomy attributed to language in relation to its social conditions of production, reproduction and use, structural linguistics could not become the dominant social science without exercising an ideological effect, by bestowing the appearance of scientificity on the naturalization of the products of history, that is, on symbolic objects.”
Pierre Bourdieu, Language and Symbolic Power
