Bourdieu: systems, axes, maps, practical logics

I have checked these quotes and am fairly sure they are accurate. The first, I feel, improves with re-reading, and presents a clearing at the end? 

The clearing could be a template, and as per the second it may be old; but retains its practical function.

'Intellectualism is inscribed in the fact of introducing into the object the intellectual relation to the object, of substituting the observer's relation to practice for the practical relation to practice. Anthropologists would be able to escape from all their metaphysical questioning about the ontological status or even the 'site' of culture only if they were to objectify their relation to the object, that of the outsider who has to procure a substitute for practical mastery in the form of an objectified model. Genealogies and other models are to the social orientation which makes possible the relation of immediate immanence to the familiar world, as a map, an abstract mode of all possible routes, is to the practical sense of space, a "system of axes linked unalterably to our bodies, which we carry about with us wherever we go", as Poincaré put it.' p.34.

The Logic of Practice

'The logical [kinship] relations he constructs are to 'practical' relations - practical because continuously practised, kept up and cultivated - as the geometrical space of a map, a representation of all possible routes for all possible subjects, is to the network of pathways that are really maintained and used, 'beaten tracks' that are really practicable for a particular agent. The family tree, a spatial diagram that can be taken in at a glance, uno intuitu and scanned indifferently in any direction from any point, causes the complete network of kinship relations over several generations to exist in the mode of temporal existence which is that of theoretical objects, that is, tota simul, as a totality in simultaneity. It puts on the same footing official relationships, which, for lack of regular maintenance, tend to become what they are for the genealogist, that is, theoretical relationships, like abandoned roads on an old map; and practical relationships which really function because they fulfil practical functions.' p.35.

Last Word by Ann Williams

LAST WORD

In Africa, one word for now,

Another word for tomorrow,

But forty words for the past.

The elephants do not forget.

They stand close in a circle,

Turn the heaped pile of bones

This way and that, stroke

Leg-bone, thigh and skull,

Rub dust into their faces.

Sighing, they understand

The weight of grief,

How memory is carried.

Poetry, edited by Peter Abbs (RIP 2020), Small Epiphanies, Resurgence & Ecologist, Sept/Oct 2013, Issue 280: p.52-53. I cannot locate a web presence for Ann Williams, if anyone can assist please get in touch. Resurgence & Ecologist is a marvellous read. I do not subscribe but enjoy a copy when visiting a city.

P.S. I feel bad not subscribing, but you have to 'cut your cloth'. That's not the only pain factor. An online subscription may be greener, and cheaper? As with book reviews (Ethics and AI - to follow), I need a physical copy, spending enough time on-screen already. The publication is much more than a magazine. The magazine represents a change of mindset and ironically reflects former and for many 'new' ways of life.
