Field
• Fields as spaces of struggle have “their own rules, histories, star players, legends and lore” (Thomson, 2008, p.69)

Habitus
“ (…) the habitus, a product of history, produces individual and collective practices – more history”. (Bourdieu, 1990a, p.54). “(…)as an acquired system of generative schemes, the habitus makes possible the free production of all the thoughts, perceptions and actions inherent in the particular conditions of its productions” (Bourdieu, 1990a, p. 55),

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)
