Structuralist theory argues toward the normalisation of the unquestioned reproduction of knowledge about correct cultural and social attitudes of communities. These forces “emerge out of human activity but stand outside of human agency or intervention” (Appelrouth & Edles, 2011, p385) which means that this theory accounts for activity and structure in a way that focusses upon the unconscious over the conscious and social facts external to the individual. Loїc Wacquant (2008, p267) wrote that structuralism “seeks out invisible relational patterns operating behind the backs of agents”. It is easy to see how similar structuralist emphasis reflects in other theorists work such as Marx and Weber in this deterministic
