Field theory - Pierre Bourdieu

This video explains field theory as elaborated by French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, as well as the basic concepts that form part of it. What are habitus, doxa, capital? Watch this short and you'll find out

(Addition: Thanks all for the kind words. The definition is taken from Benson, "Bourdieu and the Journalistic Field", find it on page 30 in GoogleBooks: http://bit.ly/pYAxcs )
