Description: In this thesis, I embark on a personal journey through habitus, contemplating the effects of class, specifically, on success: is habitus enabling or restrictive? Can habitus evolve or is it static? What tensions arise when habitus does evolve? If, as most, we come to appreciate habitus as the 'fish does water' what of the 'fish out of water', when one's habitus is no longer familiar or can be taken for granted? Through the use of tableaux stories, I wish to offer a contextualized analysis of the evolution of habitus---with class as the dominant affector---within a tri-generational arc. I employ a hybrid methodology, using narrative and life history, to trouble the influence of habitus on the participants.
