| Popis: | 97 This depth-reporting master thesis aims to study the career transformation of independent bookstore owners with Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of Habitus. By observing bookstore owners’ education of family, schooling and social experiences, which are the elements of Habitus, we can inspect how Habitus influences their business strategies and the process of career transformation. The key questions of this thesis include: how do owners use their capitals to maintain their bookstores? When the reality conflicts to the owners’ idea, how do they adjust their thoughts and business strategies? How do the bookstores survive in the “field”? Besides, I hope to record the preciously historical materials for the researchers who are interested in the independent bookstores in the future. Key Words: Bookstore、Independent Bookstores、Owners、Habitus、Strategies、Career Transformation. |
