Concept information

Preferred term

symbolic capital  

Definition(s)

  • Symbolic capital is one of the forms of capital central to the work of Pierre Bourdieu. Although it is often simply glossed as “honor” or “prestige,” it is important to note that the honor and prestige inherent in symbolic capital is the outcome of the conversion of other forms of capital.
