Resumo: This article aimed to discuss how Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of reflexivity was conceived, and how it influenced and was developed by Bernard Lahire’s in his sociology. To operationalize the way the concept is articulated, but emphasizing its development by Lahire, this paper presents as an empirical case how reflexivity was engendered in José Francisco Bernardes Milanez’ biographical trajectory, a historical environmental activist from the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The central argument we defend is that the Bourdieusian-inspired concept of reflexivity has a certain objectivist and structuralist weight, which gives a secondary role to individuals’ reflection capacity and agency. Despite this weight, reflexivity acts as a mediator between structures and their individual agency within actors’ social lives. In this sense, reflexive capacities can be better understood and analyzed by considering the ways individuals connect their daily practices, dialectically and concomitantly, with reflexive processes. This article emphasizes that sociological analyses at the individual level can be potentially more substantive if they consider structure, agency, and reflexivity in an integrated way. Finally, we argue that the conceptual and argumentative association of elements from the two authors helps to avoid false antinomies.

Con el fin de operacionalizar la forma en que los autores trabajan el concepto, pero enfatizando su desarrollo por Lahire, este trabajo presenta como caso empírico el desarrollo de la reflexividad en la trayectoria biográfica de José Francisco Bernardes Milanez, activista histórico del movimiento ambientalista del estado brasileño de Río Grande do Sul. El argumento central que defendemos es que el concepto de reflexividad de inspiración bourdieusiana tiene un cierto peso objetivista y estructuralista, que relega la capacidad de reflexión y agencia de los individuos pero, a pesar de este peso, en el ámbito de la vida social de los actores la reflexividad actúa como elemento mediador entre las estructuras y la agencia individual. En este sentido, las capacidades reflexivas pueden entenderse y analizarse mejor si se consideran las formas en que los individuos articulan la dialéctica y, concomitantemente, sus prácticas diarias y procesos reflexivos. Tanto en el desarrollo de este artículo como en sus conclusiones se destaca que los análisis sociológicos a nivel de los individuos pueden ser potencialmente más sustanciales al considerar la estructura, la agencia y la reflexividad de manera integrada, algo que la asociación de elementos conceptuales y argumentales específicos de esos dos autores centralmente destacados permite, evitando así falsas antinomias.Este artigo teve como objetivo debater a forma como o conceito de reflexividade é concebido por Pierre Bourdieu, e como se desenvolve e influencia a sociologia, no nível dos indivíduos, de Bernard Lahire. Para operacionalizar a forma como o conceito é trabalhado pelos autores, porém enfatizando seu desenvolvimento por Lahire, esse trabalho apresenta como caso empírico o desenvolvimento da reflexividade na trajetória biográfica de José Francisco Bernardes Milanez, ativista histórico do movimento ambiental do estado brasileiro do Rio Grande do Sul. O argumento central que defendemos é que o conceito de reflexividade de inspiração bourdieusiana tem um determinado peso objetivista e estruturalista, o qual secundariza a capacidade de reflexão e agência dos indivíduos, porém apesar desse peso, no âmbito da vida social dos atores a reflexividade atua como elemento mediador entre estruturas e agência individual. Nesse sentido, as capacidades reflexivas podem ser melhor entendidas e analisadas se forem consideradas as maneiras como os indivíduos articulam dialética e concomitantemente suas práticas cotidianas e seus processos reflexivos. Enfatiza-se tanto na escrita deste artigo, quanto nas suas conclusões, que as análises sociológicas no nível dos indivíduos podem ser potencialmente mais substantivas ao considerarem estrutura, agência e reflexividade de forma integrada, algo que a associação de elementos conceituais e argumentativos específicos desses dois autores centralmente destacados habilita, evitando, assim, falsas antinomias.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2021-03-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8313010.1590/1679-395120200027Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 19 No. 1 (2021); 152-164Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 19 Núm. 1 (2021); 152-164Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 19 n. 1 (2021); 152-1641679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/83130/78987https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/83130/78988Lessa, Bruno de SouzaLopes, Fernando DiasCaregnato, Célia Elizabeteinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-06-03T19:41:03Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/83130Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:19.818652Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
