Introduction The present study aimed to explore the concept of social trauma AND its implications for habit formation from a sociological perspective with a particular emphasis on Bourdieu’s theories of field, HABITUS, AND Hysteresis. Bourdieu, a prominent sociologist, has provided experimental explanations of various social fields AND their deconstructions, which can be understood as traumatic situations from a sociological stANDpoint. According to Bourdieu, in conditions of individual AND social stability, change occurs gradually AND predictably, likening each person to a "fish in water. " This suggests that habit AND field are in harmony with each other, forming what Bourdieu termed HABITUS. The HABITUS, or embodied dispositions, is in a constant state of flux in response to new experiences. However, in critical moments or when the structure of the field undergoes significant changes, the HABITUS may struggle to adapt to these fundamental AND sometimes catastrophic shifts, leading to a state of disorganization. This disorganization reflects the disparity between the new situations arising from changes in the field AND the agents within the field, who must comprehend AND navigate the new lANDscape. This process of disintegration as described by Bourdieu is closely related to the concept of social trauma. The term "trauma, " derived from the Greek word "traumat, " meaning to wound, is often used interchangeably with post-traumatic stress disorder. In essence, the new situations that emerge within the field can become traumatic, leaving a profound gap in both the field AND HABITUS.
