 CAPITAL BY PIERRE
BOURDIEU
“CAPITAL IS ACCUMULATED LABOR
(IN ITS MATERIALIZED FORM OR ITS
"INCORPORATED," EMBODIED FORM) WHICH, WHEN
APPROPRIATED ON A PRIVATE, I.E., EXCLUSIVE, BASIS BY
AGENTS OR GROUPS OF AGENTS, ENABLES THEM TO
APPROPRIATE SOCIAL ENERGY IN THE FORM OF REIFIED
OR LIVING LABOR.”
 FOUR FORMS OF CAPITAL:

• ECONOMIC CAPITAL • CULTURAL CAPITAL •

SOCIAL CAPITAL

•SYMBOLIC CAPITAL,
which is obtained by the possession of an honour, prestige or good reputation.
THREE FORMS OF CULTURAL CAPITAL
:
• IN THE EMBODIED STATE,
in the form of long-lasting dispositions of the mind
and body;
• IN THE OBJECTIFIED STATE,
in the form of cultural goods;
• IN THE INSTITUTIONALIZED STATE,
a form of objectification, which confers
entirelyoriginal properties on the cultural capital.
