Painting the full picture: The conversion of economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital
基于布迪厄理论，通过10位手工艺创业者的经历，揭示他们如何自然且愉快地转化经济、文化、社会和象征资本，并发现经济资本并非优先，转化过程涉及多种资本形式。
This article explores how and why entrepreneurs convert their available economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital. We utilise Bourdieu’s theory of practice as a conceptual framework to explore the lived experiences of 10 craft entrepreneurs. This study reveals that transforming capital is a natural and enjoyable process, with our findings highlighting the convertible, multifaceted nature of different forms of capital. We also uncover previously unidentified forms of capital conversions and demonstrate that the conversion process can involve multiple forms of capital. Furthermore, our findings show that craft entrepreneurs give no primacy to economic capital, whose transformations form part of a larger process of capital conversion.
