Abstract: This chapter presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of sociology at the individual , as proposed by Bernard Lahire, as an alternative to Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice. Lahire criticizes the explanatory rigidity of the concept of habitus as a homogeneous system of dispositions and emphasizes its inadequacy for analyzing contemporary societies characterized by plural and fragmented socialization experiences. By proposing the notion of a plural repertoire of dispositions, the author introduces a new model for analyzing social action, in which multiple internalized influences interact situationally with specific contexts of action. The chapter also examines criticisms of the concept of field and its limited empirical applicability. It further details the methodological strategy of sociological portraits to access the intraindividual complexity of social trajectories. Finally, it discusses the categories of dispositions, practical and existential reflexivity, and the tension between belief and action in individual behavior.
