Why is this a different page than Field (Bourdieu)? It seems to me like it's the exact same concept.Soirhiver (talk) 02:03, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested merge[edit]

Far from being a distinct as the {{Distinguish}} template suggested, the field concept of Pierre Bourdieu is one of many |field theories in sociology.

Obviously, there is substantial affinity between Bourdieu's scheme and the one proposed here. Bourdieu is as responsible for the idea of situating action in fields as any scholar. His theoretical apparatus is one of the most developed (although it is not the only one)." --Fligstein & McAdam 2008 A Theory of Fields, p. 24

Therefore Field (Bourdieu) should be merged into this page. – Miranche T C 18:18, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
