# Cultural Capital | | In the field of sociology, **Cultural Capital** comprises the social assets of a person that promote social mobility in a stratified society. Cultural capital functions as a social relation within an economy of practices, and includes the accumulated cultural knowledge that confers social status and power; thus cultural capital comprises the material and symbolic goods, without distinction, that society considers rare and worth seeking. There are three types of cultural capital: (i) embodied capital, (ii) objectified capital, and (iii) institutionalised capital. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Cultural capital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_capital) | [[Bourdieu's Theory of Capital]]
