Abstract

En este artículo desarrollamos un acercamiento socio-antropológico al concepto de "estilo de vida" proponiendo una definición operativa del mismo. En efecto, debido a la abundancia de definiciones y a una gran diversidad en los usos de esta noción, es necesario replantearse su valor analítico para las ciencias sociales. Después de una revisión de la literatura, detallamos las distintas dimensiones del concepto y lo definimos a través de los procesos de negociación entre estructura social y disposiciones, tanto individuales como colectivas. Utilizamos teoría socio-antropológica que pone en práctica diferentes acercamientos al concepto, lo ejemplificamos con un análisis sintético de una investigación sociológica en el campo del consumo de drogas. Sobre la base de este análisis, concluimos proponiendo una definición abierta del concepto de estilo de vida.Anchored in a socio-anthropological approach, this article aims to provide an operational definition of the concept of lifestyle. Indeed, on account of the plurality of definitions and uses of the latter in the literature, an exploration of its analytical value for social sciences is much needed. Hence, we investigate its different dimensions and tackle the mechanisms of individual and collective bargaining between social structure and dispositions. To do so, we combine sociological and anthropological theories discussing the dimensions of the concept of lifestyle and we provide a brief empirical example of drug consumption patterns in Madrid. In conclusion, we offer a revised definition of the concept.
