“…If the direct contact N does not possess this information but he knows someone else who does, let's say A, then A represents for M an indirect tie and he will be part of M's social capital. This is counter to Coleman's assumption that the gains from social capital depend solely on network closure, and is consistent with Burt's view on the benefits that derive from the brokerage position of individuals and the existence of structural holes (Eloire 2015).…”

“…As we discuss in Section 3, Bourdieu combines quantitative and qualitative analyses to assess social capital at both the individual and collective level, that is, to unravel the capital resources that individuals have access to given the connections they have within the network, as well as the positions they hold within the field and the social space. Notably, in his French article 'Notes Provisoires ' (1980), which offers a short exposition of his perception of social capital, he develops two hypotheses related to: i) the interdependence of social capital with the other forms of capital, namely economic and cultural, which implies that social relationships are never entirely independent of social structures and the distribution of the various forms of capital; and ii) its multiplier effects, so that two individuals with the same amount of economic and/or cultural capital will have differential gains if one has more social capital than the other (Eloire 2015). …”

The general idea of social capital is that relationships matter. In this sense, trust, cooperation and reciprocity involved in these relationships can have a positive impact on the wealth of the society by reducing transaction costs, facilitating collective actions and lowering opportunistic behavior. This work sheds light on the different theoretical and empirical problems that a scholar is likely to face in dealing with social capital research and analysis. We propose a critical road map of the social capital theories and applications for a general audience, nonusers included, with particular attention to the works of political and social economists. We provide a critical debate on the different definitions and measures produced, the theoretical frameworks developed and the empirical techniques adopted so far in the analysis of the impact of social capital on socio-economic outcomes. We turn to the limitations of these techniques and we suggest some basic strategies to reduce the magnitude of these limitations.

“…SNA is a complementary tool to MCA since it focuses on existing objective links of mutual acquaintance and recognition and not on relations between individuals within a given volume and structure of capitals. Some scholars (Bühlmann et al, 2012a; Timans and Heilbron, 2018; Eloire, 2018; Klüger, 2018) encourage a joint use of both methods.…”

This article focuses on the importance of quantifying Bourdieu’s “research programme”, linked with the concepts of field, habitus, and capital. It presents possible ways of doing statistics within this framework and argues that continuous methodological development should be pursued. To support this argument, the article highlights the methodology and empirical results of a doctoral dissertation on the Swiss field of economic sciences. It stresses the relevance of using a prosopographical strategy and advocates further development of multiple correspondence analysis, and the use of sequence analysis and social network analysis. The main contributions of these methods concern the investigation of subgroup profiles in fields, the trajectories of accumulation and conversion of capitals and the structure of social capital. When asking whether or not we should think with or beyond Bourdieu when suggesting new methodological developments to his programme, this article argues that we ought to think beyond his strict written work, but still within his theoretical framework, which proves particularly relevant to the study of power relations among individuals.

“…Un obstacle menor, més actual, però que també té pes a l'hora d'eliminar la gastronomia com a tema rellevant en les humanitats, és la caracterització de la gastronomia d'avantguarda com quelcom elitista, que tindria sobre tot una funció de capital social, de mostrar que un pertany a una classe benestant. Ser vist entrant en un restaurant catalogat amb tres estrelles a la Guia Michelin, descriure el menú experimental que un va fruir o anomenar els chefs pel nom de pila com si fossin grans amics és una forma de capital social en què es cerca sobre tot mostrar que a un li sobren els diners (Eloire, 2018).…”

A partir de la reflexió feta per Ferran Adrià i el seu equip d'El Bulli, aquest article explora de quina forma certs mecanismes, tècniques i procediments creatius entorn de l’anomenada «gastronomia d’avantguarda» poden analitzar-se des d’un modelenactivista de la cognició per tal d’entendre la creativitat en la cuina i caracteritzar els processos d’innovació. També s'intentarà establir si alguns d’aquests processos són suficientment generals com per a reutilitzar-los en altres disciplines i afavoriraixí la nostra comprensió teòrica dels processos i mecanismes de creació i innovació. Presentem així aquells trets que són específics de la gastronomia com a procés creatiu per destriar aquells fenòmens que són prou genèrics com per considerarlosconstituents de la gran família dels processos creatius. D’aquesta manera l’article cerca presentar noves perspectives pera entendre el fet genèric de crear versus la creació específica en processos gastronòmics.
