“ (…) the habitus, a product of history, produces
individual and collective practices – more
history”. (Bourdieu, 1990a, p.54).

schemes, the habitus makes possible the free

actions inherent in the particular conditions of
its productions” (Bourdieu, 1990a, p. 55),

8. Capital
• social capital (change and increase of network links and
social bonds; interrelationship amongst individuals)
• cultural capital exists in an embodied state (dispositions,
principles and values); an objectified state (physical,
cultural assets individuals acquire also within their family
and social circles); and also in an institutionalised state
(institutionalised recognition, often typified by educational
qualifications)
• Economic capital (epitomised mainly by financial wealth).
• Symbolic capital (a form of prestige, reputation and
distinction that is automatically translated into economic
capital)
