	CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS
		For Bourdieu, symbolic capital is the summation of cultural, economic and social capital.
		Cultural capital may be embodied in the practice of an individual, or objectified whereby it appears in artefacts, such as reports, or where it is conferred on an individual by an institution in the form of prizes, diplomas and so forth.
		The clash of competing regimes of symbolic capital is indicative of the complex dialectical relationships between the forces of recursiveness and structuration (Dirsmith, Heian and Covaleski, 1997) that are a commonplace part of an organizational field.

	The Forms of Capital (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The strategies for converting economic capital into cultural capital, which are among the short-term factors of the schooling explosion and the inflation of qualifications, are governed by changes in the structure of the chances of profit offered by the different types of capital.
		The volume of the social capital possessed by a given agent thus depends on the size of the network of connections he can effectively mobilize and on the volume of the capital (economic, cultural or symbolic) possessed in his own right by each of those to whom he is connected.
		The different types of capital can be distinguished according to their reproducibility or, more precisely, according to how easily they are transmitted, i.e., with more or less loss and with more or less concealment; the rate of loss and the degree of concealment tend to vary in inverse ratio.

	THE ART OF RENT: GLOBALIZATION, MONOPOLY AND THE COMMODIFICATION OF CULTURE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Capital in general just as easily flows into high wage regions as into low and often seems to be geographically guided by quite different criteria to those conventionally set out in both bourgeois and Marxist political economy.
		The problem for these latter places is to raise their quotient of symbolic capital and to increase their marks of distinction so as to better ground their claims to the uniqueness that yields monopoly rent.
		The amassing of collective symbolic capital, the mobilization of collective memories and mythologies and appeals to specific cultural traditions are important facets to all forms of political action (both left and right).

	symbolic capital & skyscrapers
		In any case, the type of capital produced in relation to towers and skyscrapers is not, as such, ‘objective’ in the sense that an ordinary commodity such as a toothbrush, or a clock, or an umbrella might be read as being objective.
		The type of capital produced in this relation is more of a symbolic and social character, as expand on by Dovey (1992) in his paper ‘Corporate towers and symbolic capital’, as the title indicates.
		If the symbolic capital substitutes the real history of the tower, replacing it with forces acting within an ‘aesthetic aura’ or a ‘religious mist’, determining the ‘social formation’ (Althusser, 1977: 101) of towers and skyscrapers, this formation nonetheless is also determined by the relations of production that builds towers as ‘existential’ things-in-themselves.

		Thus, for instance, the symbolic value of ranching ultimately resides in the value that people ascribe to it, which is rooted in their experiences of it: in person, in books, in movies, etc. As this example suggests, different "species of capital" (1998: 41) are distinguished by the social forms and processes that mediate them.
		Some forms of symbolic capital are embodied in people and their actions (or, in the case at hand, in certain animals); others are objectified in things or places.
		The symbolic value of the masked bobwhite, for example, derives from several sources: its rarity relative to other species of wildlife; its relation to cattle grazing, both objectively and subjectively; its identification with the state of Arizona; and its kinship with the northern bobwhite, in particular the common mating call ("bob-white") of the two subspecies.

	Culture
		Symbolic capital takes different forms for example, educational capital, political capital, and of course economic capital; and it is precisely the symbolic nature of Bourdieu's capital, which makes its primary function of interchangeability possible.
		But it is the formulation of symbolic capital which allows Bourdieu to evolve his theory of practice beyond the economic fixity of historical materialism.
		Symbolic capital and the reproduction of dominance however have more to offer social analysis at the intersection of the cultural and the social.

		Symbolic capital involves the capacity to impose the legitimate vision of the social world and refers to signs of the dispositions and classificatory schemes that can either betray one's real origins and trajectory through social life or else can become manipulated to communicate false origins and trajectories.
		Symbolic practices thus dictate a 'sense of place' in the social order and thereby fulfil the social closure functions of inclusion and exclusion.
		By operating as a 'cultural arbitrary' and performing 'symbolic violence', the educational institution has the potential to impose dominant culture as 'legitimate' by concealing the power relations which are the basis of its force, and at the same time, communicating a logic of disinterest.

	I am led to respond to the issue of agency at two levels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		While economic capital is convertible into symbolic capital, symbolic capital can be converted into economic capital in the sense that culturally valued practices, competences, and symbolic expressions can shift a subject's place in the habitus and facilitate the acquisition of economic capital.
		They are agents capable of inventing a symbolic world that can enable the transformation of its social and material forces; that invention is simply constrained (in varying degrees) by the state and the resources of the habitus.
		Political agency is dependent on symbolic capital because it expresses or "presupposes competence (in the sense of the capacity socially granted to an authority) which is essential, especially in moments of crisis when the collective judgement hesitates, in order to manipulate the collective definition of the situation"(

	Symbolic Violence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		For Bourdieu, the exercise of symbolic violence presupposes that those who do not possess the competence to perform according to the codes privileged by the official language recognize the legitimacy of a language they cannot speak, i.e., they adopt some criteria of evaluation unfavourable for their own daily practice.
		And, as a consequence, the most striking manifestation of symbolic violence is the silence to which those dispossessed of the official language are condemned, and condemn themselves, on `formal' or `official' occasions: lacking the means of legitimate expression, they do not speak but are spoken to.
		Symbolic violence is not any form of domination exercised through communication; it is the exercise of domination through communication in such a way that the domination is misrecognized as such and thereby recognized as legitimate.

	Symbolic capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sociology, symbolic capital can be referred to as the amount of honor and prestige possessed by a person with regards to acting structures.
		This concept coined by Pierre Bourdieu is expanded in his book "Distinction".
		Symbolic capital implies any differences between identities, e.g., two individuals possess economic capital but the difference in the volume of this capital makes their symbloic capitals different.

	One child - Many communities: Recasting the purpose of education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The economic capital of the communities is important for two reasons: first the socioeconomic status of the students affects their health and ability to participate in school community activities; second, meeting school, community, and student goals may require economic capital.
		Although symbolic capital is considered separate from social capital, it is the language and symbols that will allow the student entry into the communities that form the social network and allow the accumulation of social capital.
		Therefore, by accessing the cultural, social, and symbolic capital of the involved communities a school community can develop a habitus, view of the possible, within the students that is broader than any of the students would develop in the absence of the school community.

	"Creativity as the exchange of symbolic capital in the transactions between an art teacher and his senior art students"
		It asserts that in the exchanges of symbolic capital between the teacher and his students, his agency will be misrecognised in his own and their thinking, actions and artworks.
		Symbolic capital is explained as the primary currency of exchange in a social economy and as a capital of credit used in the day-to-day economy of social transactions.
		It follows that the task of the investigator is to uncover the relationships between symbols and their use within the culture of the art classroom, the premise being that respondents' cultural knowledge is not random but organised into categories that are systematically related to the entire culture (93).

		Visible economic capital, as well as relatively concealed forms of capital like networks, nepotism, memberships of influential, societal clusters etc., are examples of capital, in its wider sense, as defined by Pierre Bourdieu, that are likely to help in attempts to find an apartment in a sought-after area.
		Under rent control usage of symbolic capital may be more important than usage of economic capital to gain possession of centrally located housing.
		Symbolic capital assets are, however, usually not considered when evaluating the effects of rent control.

		Whilst cultural capital referred to a wide range of 'informational' resources such as language, cultural awareness, and education credentials, social capital designated the aggregate of the actual or potential resources which are linked to the possession of a durable network of persons.
		By symbolic violence, Bourdieu meant a soft sort of violence which is exercised upon a social agent with his or her complicity.
		The educators perform symbolic violence by imposing meanings as 'legitimate by concealing the power relations which are the basis of its force' and at the same time communicating a logic of disinterest (Bourdieu and Passeron, 1977, p.4).

		Symbolic capital is itself the product of a kind of "social alchemy," a process of misrecognition, through which mere economic capital is transformed and legitimated in the form of status, class, or distinction.
		Symbolic capital is the product of a struggle in which each agent is both a ruthless competitor and supreme judge.
		Ultimately, the content of the symbols is not the most important factor: what is important is the effect of the symbols on the initiate, their affective power in generating awe, mystery and the sense of the hidden power of the Masonic tradition.

	Symbolic Jerusalem
		Following the division of Israel, Jerusalem continued to be the capital of the house of Judah for almost four centuries, ie until the captivity to Babylon.
		For this reason it is natural to perceive symbolic Jerusalem as a symbol for; (A) the racial descendants of the Jews(Judah), (B) those of the Jewish faith or (C) the modern day Jewish nation.
		Symbolic Jerusalem may also be used to represent the place of the worship of God.

		The journalistic world is thus a hierarchical system, where intrinsic forms of power (capital) are unevenly distributed (for example journalistic prizes and editorial posts), and journalists are constantly jockeying for internal positions of power and glory, according to their ability (their volume and composition of capital) and dispositions (their habitus).
		Through this symbolic barrier, some journalists are by their membership bestowed with higher prestige (internally in the field), and a charisma of objectivity/neutrality which are not granted journalists working in the weekly press, even if they should write about the same things in a very similar way.
		Not only should we expect that “regular” forms of capital to have a different “rate of exchange” in the journalistic field (a high income, for example, are probably less important as a independent source of power and prestige here), but also we should expect to find forms of capital intrinsic to the field.

		A fourth type, Symbolic capital (or Distinction) is the form assumed by these different kinds of capital when they are perceived and recognized as legitimate.
		Symbolic capital, then, is just capital arising out of standard perceptions of the social world - that is, it is produced by the very structures to which it is applied.
		This means that the people best placed to change the vision of the world (by changing the categories of perception), those with the highest symbolic capital, are also almost always those who are least inclined to do so - it's in their interest to maintain power in the form of symbolic capital.

		The analysis of the credibility channel of monetary policy will be reformulated in the context of the notion of symbolic capital which is based on the methodology of the French philosopher Pierre Bourdieu.
		Symbolic power is the power to make things with words and monetary policy is pursued to an increasing degree with symbolic instruments (speeches, minutes, bias-talk).
		In our approach symbolic capital of the Fed has to be analysed as the outcome of a process in which competing elites use their specific form of capital (economic, political, institutional and scientific) to influence the power structure in the monetary policy field.

		These forms of capital are united under the umbrella of symbolic capital, the objects, behaviors, and symbols that hold spiritual, emotional, and rational value in people's lives.
		For the purposes of this project, symbolic literacy is the ability to decode and understand the symbolic systems that structure human lives (including gestural patterns, posture, and fashion as well as language, meda, and art), to understand multiple systems in their context, and to analyze and construct coherent symbolic system of one's own.
		The distinction between a symbolic system and its corresponding culture is similar to the distinction between the brain and the mind.

		5 Bourdieu “defines ‘symbolic’ as that which is material but is not recognised as being such (dress sense, a good accent, ‘style’) and which derives its efficacy not simply from its materiality but from this very misrecognition.
		Thus: Symbolic capital, a transformed and thereby disguised form of physical ‘economic’ capital, produces its proper effect inasmuch, and only inasmuch, as it conceals the fact that it originates in ‘material’ forms of capital which are also, in the last analysis, the sources of its effects.
