These have subsequently been useful tools of analysis in empirical investigations. Practice and field have been described by scholars as: central to the conceptual armoury of Pierre Bourdieu, in addition to other concepts like capital and habitus. Of primary interest to me was to establish whether Bourdieu would be relevant to my study: an investigation into different generations’ use of social media platforms to consume, produce and disseminate popular cultural content such as music.īourdieu popularised terms such as habitus, field and hysteresis among others and what is of relevance to me, a scholar navigating social research field is to consider the extent to which Bourdieus’ concepts are valuable as tools for analysis/in establishing my epistemological framework. The key to understanding Pierre Bourdieu perhaps lies in striving to understand how he explores the various ways in which people conduct their lives in relation to one another and social institutions.
