For Sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, “Doxa” is what in a culture “Goes without saying” because it “comes without saying” – is what is accepted as given and established as fact, not because it is fact, but precisely because it has never been legitimately scrutinized, examined, never subjected to a Critical Discourse.
Challenging and taking apart Doxa will require VOICES, strong voices unafraid to say, and keep saying, “NO, wait, that’s not right, that is not true”, dissenting voices, more and more of them.
In Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice, dissent is “HETERODOXY” – challenges to what goes without saying and comes without saying, without real scrutiny, untested, unquestioned.
