Level of homogeneity in the social science field?
Gerardo
Thank you all for your help so far. I hope you continue helping me
just as much, if not more : )
As I mentioned, I've felt that Bourdieu insinuates the level of
homogeneity of the social science field; but isn't ever clear about
it. Most of the time I believe he insinuates a heterogeneous tendency,
but I once also sensed he suggested a homogeneous tendency from the
same field.
Both terms refer to two different theoretical poles: the monopoly and
the equitable distribution. A heterogeneous field tends to have few
participants with most of the symbolic capital, and a homogeneous
field tends to have its symbolic capital distributed, in a similar
way, among pretty much all it's participants.
So my doubt is: might Bourdieu have suggested that just a few social
scientists owned most of the field's capital (heterogeneity)? Or might
he have suggested that the social science field's capital is
distributed, in similar parts, among most of its social scientists?
What can you tell me? : )
I'm looking forward for your feedback!

It's an empirical question. That's what he would have said. It's not an a priori assumption.

about the social science field being particularly heteronomous, in
oposition to the autonomy of the natural science social field, and
just give hints about it's hetergeneous character?
I don't get it.
Sorry for all the theoreticism... it's important to me.

out of this jam.
Hopefully if I turn my question more empirical and less theoretical
you will be willing to share some thoughts with me: From your own
experience, would you say the social science field tends more to be a
monopoly or a equitable field? What do you think, from what you have
experienced?
I would really appreciate any thoughts about it!
Thank you
