BIALAKOWSKY, Alejandro. Daily life and sociological reclassifications according to Giddens, Bourdieu, Habermas and Luhmann. Convergencia [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.77, pp.125-147. ISSN 2448-5799.  https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v25i77.4456.

This article aims to analyze the relationship between daily life and sociological reclassifications in the “meaning turn” proposed by Giddens, Bourdieu, Habermas and Luhmann. From the methodology of the “problematic approach”, it traces their uses of spatial metaphors of “horizon” and “background”, which explicit the characteristics of meaning as the condition of possibility of the social. Among the results, it is detected that Giddens, Bourdieu and Habermas find in the everyday life the metaphorical space of observation of meaning, whereas Luhmann does it in a formal world. So, the article approaches the ways in which sociology reclassifies the general social (re)classifications, which also reclassify the sociological ones. As a conclusion, an interplay of transformation, disruption or disconnection emerges, in which the importance or not of everyday life allows to establish a space of transformation between sociological and social reclassifications or limits and closes that possibility understood as irritation.

Keywords : contemporary sociological theory; meaning; metaphors; everyday life; reclassifications.
