TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a framework that scholars previously employed within the original field of entrepreneurship (Bourdieu's theory of capitals and their transformations); in doing so, they also propose an enrichment to the framework by including additional capitals that are specifically relevant for the field of social entrepreneurship and that are influenced by common agendas, as those exist in the fields of sustainability and CSR.
Abstract: Scholars have characterized social entrepreneurship as an “accumulative fragmentalism,” primarily characterized by the use of case studies featuring prominent and innovative profiles of social enterprises and entrepreneurs. However, today, social entrepreneurship is between cross-currents. On the one hand, it seeks, as a subfield, to solidify its theoretical and methodological underpinnings and standpoints. On the other hand, it is consistently exposed to field expansion, given that a number of its underlying frameworks, commonly shared with other fields (such as sustainability and corporate social responsibility [CSR]), are opening up to wider vistas of conceptualization and theorization. This is often through the influence of practice as well as theory. The contribution of the paper is threefold. First, it enhances our understanding of social entrepreneurship field development by identifying cross-currents and by highlighting new angles for paradigmatic and theoretical positioning. Second, it implements a framework that scholars previously employed within the original field of entrepreneurship (Bourdieu's theory of capitals and their transformations); in doing so, it also proceeds to propose an enrichment to the framework by including additional capitals that are specifically relevant for the field of social entrepreneurship and that are influenced by common agendas, as those exist in the fields of sustainability and CSR. Third, it offers insights for theory, as well as practice, which relate to understandings from the first two contributions.

TL;DR: In 2008, the Council on Social Work Education identified field education as the signature pedagogy of social work as discussed by the authors and proposed a learning contract that integrates class and field in attainment of the core and advanced competencies.
Abstract: In 2008 the Council on Social Work Education identified field education as the signature pedagogy of social work. In doing so, it designated field education as the synthetic, integrative curricular area in which students are socialized to the profession. This article examines challenges and opportunities this designation presents. How field education can be designed and delivered as social work education’s signature pedagogy is discussed from a learning theory framework. A learning contract is described that integrates class and field in attainment of the core and advanced competencies. Use of this integrated learning contract by the field instructor and student serves to structure the field experience in a manner consistent with a signature pedagogy. The teaching role of the field instructor is recognized as a key component of the signature pedagogy.

TL;DR: The arrival of new actors in the journalistic field increasingly necessitates new conceptual approaches to better understand journalistic work in the digital age as mentioned in this paper, and social network sites have played a role in this process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the professional journalistic field as a culture, i.e. as a sense-making system which adapts journalism to contextual changes but which cannot be seen as simple reflection of these changes.
Abstract: Journalism research has a long tradition of making sense of professional practices from the perspective of the everyday routines of news work. This article seeks to make a contribution to this literature by mapping out how the professional community of journalists interprets the current change and future challenges of their trade. The paper uses the conceptual framework offered by Bourdieu's field theory, but moves beyond it by suggesting that symbolic capital in the journalistic field is also connected to broader social imaginaries, beyond the limits of the field. Against this background, the article maps out empirically some of the limits of the “professional imagination” of journalistic culture by a close reading of interviews with mid-level managing editors in Finnish newspapers. The article describes the professional journalistic field as a culture, i.e. as a sense-making system which adapts journalism to contextual changes but which cannot be seen as simple reflection of these changes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the particular stakes and struggles that animate both the relationships among adventure racing participants and the competition among race organizers in order to highlight the social dynamic and power structure of this new lifestyle sport.
Abstract: Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of field, this paper explores the particular stakes and struggles that animate both the relationships among adventure racing (AR) participants and the competition among race organizers in order to highlight the social dynamic and power structure of this new “lifestyle” sport. Our investigation relies on a diversity of qualitative data, namely semi-structured interviews with 37 AR participants. Adventure Racing Association Listserve discussion, and participant observation of Eco-Challenge Argentina 1999. Our analysis demonstrates that what is at stake in the AR field is both the definition of the sport practice’s legitimate form as well as its orientation with respect to two dominant delineating forces: “authenticity” and “spectacularization” of the adventure. These two forces currently constitute the specific forms of capital (sources of prestige) that define the AR field.
