Pierre Bourdieu: Theory of Capital (Social and Cultural Capital)

[@mhfunkalicioius]

Hi Olivia, I love your explanation of Bourdieu’s theory of capital. I’m doing a PhD in which I use Bourdieu’s concepts. You described “capital” very eloquently. Thanks!

[@knowledgewithftitim9753]

The same here. Good luck.

[@SultanAhmed-gojali]

Hi Martijin, great to know that. I am also planning to use it in my PhD research. Just on the brinks. BTW in which field did you pursue your PhD and if you would like to share any insights. Regards

[@hazanocal9724]

I am studying sociology and I had a lot of problem with understanding bourdieu's capitals until this video. please, more videos about sociologists!!

[@OliviaKon]

Glad this helped you, we're making more videos which hopefully will be able to help you even more! Thanks for the comment, and keep an eye out for videos coming soon! :)

[@mathonamoore123]

I studied sociology as part of my social studies degree and we never studied him but I heard of him of course. We studied Karl Marx and others. A lot of sociology is just common sense!

[@Camilla3103]

Hi Olivia and Nicola, I'm close to the end of my master's in social sciences. Through the last five years, I have tried several times to understand Bourdieu, but with no luck - until now! It is so much clearer now. Thank you for your time and efforts in doing this video. It is a great help - and I can see that many others benefited from it as well.

[@diegoqr972]

Came to this video because of my sociology university course and didn’t surprise me it was from an IB student. Glad the program I studied has so many great students as yourself. Best wishes from Mexico!

[@dalmacyali1905]

I really love how you explain Pierre Bourdieu's work, life, and his theories...

[@tedankhamenbonnah4848]

Great job! I got my PhD from a prof who studied under Bourdieu. Opens your mind. Also, don't be shy when speaking French term - just do your best French impression in a loud voice.

[@OliviaKon]

Tedankhamen Bonnah Thank you! That’s so cool that your professor studied under Bourdieu!! I’ll try the French impression in the next video haha

i am doing my Ph D and this provides the basis to my topic. Earlier, I was struggling to get clarity of these capital , means i was able to understand what the whole theory is about but i was not able to explain much but after watching this video i gain confidence. Thanks Olivia

[@michaelprenez-isbell8672]

Olivia: this is brilliant in concept and execution. Thank you for making such a great gift to the world.

[@juanallenzegarra7924]

Excellent explanation ! Brief, but thorough; above all, very clear.

[@TheSmsawyer]

Hey there. I read Bourdieu and his forms of Capital back when I was an undergrad. Now I have a presentation and the analysis works pretty well. Thanks for the notes.

[@triplefresh3339]

This was superbly done. I am currently trying to write a paper on him and the teacher is so boring I thought I was going to rip my eyeballs out. Your little drawings and explanations were fantastic. I bless you, thank you

[@ashleyyy8036]

Cute drawings and clear explanations with accurate pronunciations! That’s quite helpful 😭

[@melancronicasaponessa8184]

Very helpful Olivia, thank you! A suggestion: maybe next time you could position your light on the opposite side of your hand, so the doodles you draw will not be in the shadow.

[@ankitkhare1143]

Thanks for explaining the topic in such a wonderful way... this was lucid and once watched cannot be forgotten.

[@colinsecor4286]

Thank you Olivia! Your IB work is helping me with my MA :) You did a really nice job with this video

[@shovonahmed4987]

Hello there. I loved your way of explaining 'Capital'. I also want the Field and Habitus theory explanation from you. Love & Regards. Thank you

[@OliviaKon]

Hello, Nicola and I will try to make one, thank you for the input!

[@jamessadia]

@@OliviaKon Yeah me too! Currently writing L6 paper on Bourdieu. Thanks this was really helpful!

[@ThingtlangnulaCollection]

Thank you so much Olivia...I found it so difficult to understand 'Bourdieu's theory'..Now, I understand it only fter watching your video🥳🥰

[@SultanAhmed-gojali]

Thanks Olivia for this amazing video. Crisp, Clear and Concise.

[@ashutoshashutosh2865]

wow amazing explanation i searched everywhere but couldn't find a layman explanation

[@amirealsaedi9960]

THANK YOUUUU! you explained everything so good and I can finally understand Bourdieu's theori!!!

[@muhammadilfanzulfani5668]

Your explanation is awesome! Thank you for helping me to understand about these.

[@willyoub4162]

This shit was banging. Studying about him, Teacher couldn't explain shit, so thanks for being better than my teacher.

[@joseferreirapinto9523]

God bless you Olivia. I am a graphic recorder and you have done a fantastic job. I am also a phd candidate and your summary of Bordieu's work is outstanding. The French pronunciation will come once you speak Bordieu language! French is difficult. I live at Macao close to HK. Hope one day I may meet you to thank you properly. All the best. Jose

[@sahelsalamat621]

Thank you for the great explanations. It was very interesting to me that you included examples of Iranian culture and society, especially ones found in Tehran. It wasn't that accurate at times though. As someone who is from Tehran and lived there for 20 years, I can assure you that crying, especially for men, has never been valued. Under patriarchal traditions, men are supposed to be "tough" and in no way emotional.

[@dr.habibnawab5149]

Great explanation, waiting for your more videos on sociology, especially sociological theories.

[@giorgiaventimiglia1649]

Hi, Olivia! Thank you for this video! You've explained these theories brilliantly!!!

[@alichishti7705]

Very well explained.

[@abdelhalimchouli7531]

Thank you for making this theory very accessible, but I have few comments: atrocities were committed from basically one side (because France invaded Algeria in 1830)... France killed over 8 million Algerian Citizens (from 1830 to 1962) & only 23k French soldiers died in that battle! Also, the war was from 1954 to 1962!

[@tanmoyghosh7521]

can someone make me understand "the field of cultural production" by pierre bourdieu in a lucid manner?

[@un4decopas]

The amount of labor does not necessarily mean more value. You can work 12hs a day making meat (growing cows) in a vegan society. And that labor and meet has value 0. CERO. C---E---R---O nada

[@OliviaKon]

Thanks for the input! However this video is not about economic capital, but social/cultural capital. Taking from your example, if someone grows cows in a vegan society, the labour from doing so has more value than zero. For example, cow waste is great fertiliser which can be used to improve the growth of vegetables in this vegan community. Hope this helps :)

[@un4decopas]

@@OliviaKon you get the point. Labor does not have intrinsic value perse.

Is there an article about the Tehran men crying symbolizing wisdom and maturity? How can I find it if so?

[@OliviaKon]

Hi, this example came from reading the ethnography "Young and Defiant in Tehran" by Shahram Khosravi!

[@GG-bw3uz]

It was neat and simple - how about going into human and economic capital along with the theory of cultural reproduction as well "?

[@OliviaKon]

Gautam Godhwani Thank you! We’re working on it right now, just sorting out a few complications in explanation as well as fixing a sore throat so I can record the voiceover! :)

[@OliviaKon]

Hey there, we uploaded a video on the economic capital last week on this channel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGO3lHehqaeKg7c Here's the link to check it out (it includes other concepts as well :)) Hope it helps!

[@GG-bw3uz]

Thanks ! The university courses are big and its impossible to cover them in full detail within the limited time frame. Your videos give us keywords to talk about in the answer as well as a general familiarity that we carry even after end of the semester. Thanks again !

[@mathonamoore123]

Human capital is just embodied capital. Economic capital is just buying power.

[@kiongosamuel8497]

thank you for the help

[@davoudzeinlou3731]

Hi. Thanks for your vivid explanation. Just one thing. Do not talk about a country and its people unless you are 100 percent sure, especially when you mention something which is negative. The young religious people or as you called them "moral police" in Tehran, Iran do not have any social prestige at all. Most of them are just pretending to enjoy the benefits of the power and they are hated by the majority.

[@shidehkeshavarz8033]

What she is trying to explain, is that these people inside their own circle follow a series of rules, ocasionally called as "signalling" in evolutionary theories, which helps individuals merge in a group, hence build a capital alongside other members of the said group. Not all the groups with social capital have an overlap, and not all are accepted by the others. A subculture only needs to be validated by its own members, no one else, and that is capital anyway.

Hi, well described the theory, but I am wondering where did you get that information/impression about young men in Tehran? I highly doubt that crying is considered a virtue for men in Tehran.

[@literaturecontinuum2279]

I’m quite thankful for your thorough and detailed explanation of Bourdieu but the analogy of Iran, Tehran was far from the truth . The Basiji you described are a minority related to police and have nothing to do with the people and culture. They have their own mindset and ideology which are not accepted by the people at all.
