Abstract
We have just completed a linkage between the personal world of human action and that of the cultural form in that we have built a bridge between the personal world of human intentions and cultural action, an expressive action governed by a dialectical tension identified as habitus-project. In this chapter, I will attempt to sensitize the reader to structural relationships of power and their impact on the personal world. By structural relationships of power, I mean power between agents rather than a specific set of powers supposedly located within agents. These relationships of power will link the personal world of cultural forms to the structures of class, gender, ethnicity, and age.
