Afterword: theory of fields in the postcolonial age

In this afterword, we put forward a view from another angle on the theory of fields, considering it from the subaltern point of view of societies described as little or non-differentiated. Examining Bourdieu's theory from this point of view opens up three new areas of questioning. The first concerns the functionipg of the theory in contexts lhat are not characterized by unification of the cultural market, the second discusses the links between social differentiation and capitalism, and the third considers how the theory of fields can shed light on the process of globalization.
