It begins by reviewing Throop & Murphy's critique of Bourdieu's reading of Husserl and Schutz, and the French sociologist's response. Then a critical analysis of this debate is proposed, showing advantages and failures of each position. We consider Haber's and Bimbenet's studies, which show the foundation of Bourdieu's perspective in Merleau-Ponty -underestimated by Throop & Murphy- and point out the limits of the theory of practice. It is concluded that the above mentioned objections to Bourdieu are mainly aimed at “determinism” and his little attention to "reflexive practices". These criticisms are answered through a reworking of Bourdieu's anthropology based on a deep integration of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, focused on the dialectic between habitual and actual body, reflexivity and bodily countertraining. En este trabajo se analizan una serie de debates sobre la relación entre la teoría de la práctica de Bourdieu y la tradición fenomenológica. Se comienza revisando la crítica de Throop & Murphy a la lectura realizada por Bourdieu de Husserl y Schutz y la respuesta del sociólogo francés. Luego se propone un análisis crítico de este debate, mostrando aciertos y desaciertos de cada posición. A continuación, se retoman los trabajos de Haber y Bimbenet, que evidencian la fundamentación de la perspectiva de Bourdieu en Merleau-Ponty -subestimada por Throop & Murphy- sin dejar de señalar una crítica a los límites de la teoría de la práctica. Se concluye que sus principales objeciones a Bourdieu giran en torno al “determinismo” y a su poca atención a las “prácticas reflexivas”. Se responde a esas críticas mediante una reelaboración de la antropología de Bourdieu a partir de la integración profunda de la fenomenología de Merleau-Ponty, centrada en la dialéctica entre cuerpo habitual y actual, reflexividad y contradiestramiento corporal. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/13888 10.34096/cf.n81.13888 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/13888/13246 Derechos de autor 2023 Cuadernos de filosofía Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 81 (2023) 2362-485X 0590-1901 Bourdieu, Merleau-Ponty, Reflexivity, Countertraining, Phenomenology Bourdieu, Merleau-Ponty, reflexividad, contradiestramiento, fenomenología Debates and Battles around Bourdieu and Phenomenology Debates y combates en torno a Bourdieu y la fenomenología info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cufilo&d=13888_oai
