ref 3:04 - "symbolic violence includes actions" - can this include language, such as the performative dangers of using particular language. An example I can think of is racial subjugation by referring to a 'riot' that black people are engaged in. Alternatively, 'uprisings' implies much less. So in this example, is it correct of me to see 'riot' in such a context being a form of symbolic violence?
In the first place symbolic violence has much less to do with specific language, instead having to do with a general, internalised power dynamic within the social hierarchy. In this case u could consider black people BEING VIEWED as more dangerous, so as to warrant the phrasing used in this example to be a form of symbolic violence, with the language itself being nothing more than a tool used to sustain it
It's good to have habitus defined and related to the other conceptual apparatus. Thanks very much 👍
