In November 1991, the Australian Academy of the Humanities held a symposium under the title Beyond the Disciplines: the New Humanities. Convened by Ken Ruthven, the Professor of English at the University of Melbourne, and a member of the Academy's English Section, the symposium set out to explore the 'battering' that the traditional humanities had received 'from radical critiques of their methods and politics' in the context of the 'Theory Wars'.1 It did so by bringing together representatives of the 'New Humanities' to address six topics. Meaghan Morris and John Frow spoke to the interdisciplinary aspects of cultural studies; Paul Carter and Sneja Gunew addressed the topic of multicultural studies; Tony Bennett and Lesley Johnson looked at the place of cultural policy studies within cultural studies; Judith Allen and Maila Stevens engaged with the place of feminist and gender studies within and beyond the disciplines; Simon During and Dipesh Chakrabarty brought post-colonial and subaltern studies into the conversation; and Michael Meehan and Hilary Charlesworth presented on new directions in legal studies.

This article examines the issues that are at stake in the current resurgence of interest in the subject of habit. We focus on the role that habit has played in conceptions of the relations between body and society, and the respects in which such conceptions have been implicated in processes of governance. We argue that habit has typically constituted a point of leverage for regulatory practices that seek to effect some realignment of the relations between different components of personhood – will, character, memory and instinct, for example – in order to bring about a specific end. In reviewing its functioning in this regard across a range of modern disciplines – philosophy, psychology, sociology – we explore the tensions between its use and interpretation in different lineages: in particular, the Cartesian–Kantian/Ravaisson–Bergson–Deleuze lineages. The article then identifies how these questions are addressed across the contributions collected in this special issue.
