Habitus and Capital Conversion in Higher Education
摘要
This chapter focuses on habitushabitus, capital conversion, and field concepts. BourdieuBourdieu first identifies agents based on class to examine habitus. In this way, class differences and hierarchies influence decision-making before or when involved in higher education. Thus, the contradiction of habitus in the field forms symbolic violence against academic agents. At the moment of hysteresishysteresis, academics need a capital conversion strategy to externalize habitus. This chapter offers a form of symbolic capital conversion into social capital and economic capital. In addition, the final section discusses the cross-field effects of neoliberal university policies, forming scientific publicationspublications as additional fields with various problems of symbolic violence in them.
