  • Chapter
Participation and Democracy in the Twenty-First Century City

Part of the book series: Non-Governmental Public Action ((NGPA))

Abstract

Some people have wondered why the dominated have not revolted more often. You only have to bear in mind the social conditions of the production of the agents and the durable effects that they exercise by inscribing themselves in dispositions, to understand that people who are the product of revolting social conditions are not necessarily as revolted as they would be if they were the product of less revolting conditions (like most intellectuals) and were then placed in those conditions. (Bourdieu, 1995, p. 47)
