- Description
- The introduction chapter outlines Bourdieu’s theorising, which is not reducible to static definitions of capital, habitus and field, but focuses on their operationalisation. Each of these concepts work in dynamic relationships set within specific locations. At the risk of oversimplifying Bourdieu’s sociology, his method consists of three nonlinear, recursive analytical moves: relating the field to the broader field of power; identifying the structure of relations within it; and revealing the potential positions and the social trajectories of actors. Illustrating the programmatic power of his methodology, the introduction references Bourdieu’s analytical moves in The Social Structure of the Economy (2005), On the State: Lectures at the College de France, 1989–1999 (2014), and elsewhere.
