In this article, we draw on a study of the transition experiences of young Indonesian musicians to argue that the social capital of creative youth may be productively understood in relation to reflexivity and temporality. This is particularly important if they move to other locations to further their careers. In brief, we offer three key contributions to social capital debates. First, social capital—as defined by Bourdieu—is most important as a valuable form of capital to deal with both actual and anticipated Beckian risk. Second, in fields of creative struggle, the development of social capital is closely related to possession of strategy and reflexivity as a form of cultural capital. Third, social capital cannot be operationalized effectively by youth without the element of timing and the temporal capacity to reflexively recognize and seize opportunities as they arise at critical moments of a creative career.

The article aims to outline the role of literary periodicals in the social system of literature from a perspective of processes that take part in the accumulation of both cultural capital and social capital. In this sense, the paper is an attempt to incorporate a sociological perspective into the theory of literature in order to provide a more informed view on social and cultural processes that are mediated by literary periodicals of diversified kind. By referring to the notions of embodied and institutional cultural capital (Pierre Bourdieu) as well as social capital (Robert D. Putnam, Francis Fukuyama), the paper examines the dialectic of system reproduction and morphogenetic change in terms of processes that organize the functioning of literature conceived of a specific kind of social system.

The article is an attempt to answer the question about factors affecting the trajectory of an acting career. The author confronts the objective dimensions of a career with a subjective concept of success, clarified by the participants of the social world of theater themselves. The empirical basis of the work are free interviews conducted by the author with actors of Polish public drama theaters (in 2015–2017) and journalistic interviews with theater artists published in books and popular monthly magazines in the last two decades of the 21st century. All sources were subjected to qualitative content analysis. It shows that in addition to talent, which is the basis of an acting career, hard work is also important. The actors pay attention to personality aspects – charismatic people with a natural ability to attract attention have a greater chance of success. The cultural capital of the stage artist and social capital (the relevant role of linking artistic careers) are not without significance for the course of the acting career. Actors also say a lot about coincidence of events, but it is worth remembering that “you have to be good to be lucky”, you have to be more motivated and determined. The author also tries to answer questions whether awards actuate the course of acting career and whether migrations are an opportunity for creative progression.

Using a mixed-methods approach, this chapter examines the use of the social and cultural capital questionnaire to measure capital, combined with student narrative experiences to gauge student persistence. An analysis of the interviews from the participants' experiences provided four themes: faculty/professors, family, self-motivation, and finances. In this study, social capital was more positively related to school success as a factor of persistence than cultural capital. The findings of this research study contributes to this growing body of literature by providing a unique survey instrument designed to assess the influence of social and cultural capital.

Objetivo: compreender e estabelecer relação de sentido entre os conceitos fundamentais de Pierre Bourdieu e o campo da Enfermagem. Metodologia: estudo de natureza reflexiva realizado a partir do conteúdo teórico utilizado na disciplina de Pierre Bourdieu e a produção social da cultura, do conhecimento e da informação, do curso de doutorado do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e do II Seminário “Pierre Bourdieu e a produção social da cultura, do conhecimento e da informação”. Resultados: O campo da Enfermagem foi identificado como um espaço onde são construídos saberes e desenvolvidas práticas em torno dos objetos que justificam sua existência. O lugar ocupado pelos profissionais neste campo, por sua vez, mostrou-se dependente da aquisição de capital e de sua acumulação por parte dos profissionais inseridos no mesmo. Conclusão: os conceitos de habitus, campo social, capital social e cultural permitiram reconstruir sentidos sobre o campo da Enfermagem produzindo reflexão sobre a relevância do mesmo para a área das ciências da saúde.Descritores: Enfermagem, ciências da saúde, conhecimento.BUILDING POSSIBILITIES IN BOURDIEU FOR ANALYSIS OF THE FIELD OF NURSINGObjective: to understand and establish a relation of meaning between the fundamental concepts of Pierre Bourdieu and the field of Nursing.

Abstract: Our Millennium was a special project of the Community Foundations of Canada to mark the new century. It used the occasion of the millennium to invite Canadians to make lasting “gifts” to their communities to make them better places. An assessment of the Our Millennium initiative noted the disproportionate number of projects that featured various aspects of arts, culture, and heritage. This study examines the linkages between the cultural capital embedded in the communities and the social capital that it generated. It investigates the nature of both the projects and the participants in them as well as the major social capital themes that the arts, culture, and heritage projects appeared to be supporting. It also explores the concept of “cultural citizenship,” locating it in the social and physical spaces in which civic engagement takes place. Résumé : Our Millennium est le nom d’un projet spécial de la Community Foundations of Canada, initié pour marquer le début d’un nouveau siècle. Profitant de l’avènement du prochain millénaire, ce projet propose à la population canadienne d’améliorer leurs communautés en faisant des dons susceptibles de perdurer. L’analyse de cette initiative souligne un nombre disproportionnel de programmes mettant l’accent sur divers aspects des arts, de la culture, et du patrimoine. Cette étude revoit les liens entre le capital culturel inscrit dans les communautés et le capital social généré. Il examine la nature des projets et des participants ainsi que les principaux thèmes de capital social que les projets en arts, en culture et en patrimoine semblent suggérer. Il explore aussi le concept d’appartenance culturelle, le situant dans les lieux sociaux et physiques de l’implication civique.

Advertising in Britain has traditionally been the preserve of a middle-class, public school and Oxbridge-educated workforce. Although this narrow recruitment base is recognized as problematic, the influence of social class on advertising careers remains largely unexplored. This article explores the career trajectories of British advertising creatives from different social class backgrounds and the forms of capital at their disposal. Drawing on life history interviews with creatives, we explore how they got started, got in and got on in advertising careers. In particular, we highlight how the `working-class' creatives struggled to overcome the economic, social and cultural barriers they face in entering the industry. We suggest, however, that once `in', the influence of their social class background was more subtle and less detrimental, due to the social capital they accumulated en route and the value of their distinctive brand of cultural capital.
