    Bourdieu defines social capital as “the aggregate of the actual or potential resources which are linked to possession of a durable network” of “more or less institutionalized relationships of mutual acquaintance and recognition”, glossed as membership in a group. Every term the sentence uses of him — aggregate, resources, network, mutual acquaintance, recognition — stands in that definition. The sentence renders those resources as accessible through networks, where the work says they are linked to possession of a network, and it drops the qualifiers actual or potential, durable, and more or less institutionalized.

    “Social capital is the aggregate of the actual or potential resources which are linked to possession of a durable network of more or less institutionalized relationships of mutual acquaintance and recognition”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 4 citations: 1 supported, 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
