25 YEARS AFTER THE COMMUNISM IN EUROPE: PHENOMENA, PROBLEMS AND TEORETICAL EXPLANATIONS: Concepts of capital in Pierre Bourdieu’s theory
Journal Title: Miscellanea Anthropologica et Sociologica - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
According to Bourdieu, there are various forms of capital. It is with this contribution thathe is most commonly identified. Yet, the aim of this paper a is to show that the Bourdieusianframework brought about (or created) more harm than actual good. Paradoxically,whilst Bourdieu is commonly regarded as a culturalist, his approach is grounded in economismor economic imperialism2. This squeezing of the extra-economic phenomena intoan economic straightjacket, leads necessarily to the latter, i.e. the concept of capital beingover-stretched. In turn, the notion of cultural capital suffers from crude physicalism andunder-specification.
