    Symbolic capital refers to the honor, prestige and recognition that provides resources and value to an individual within a culture. It builds upon Weber's concept of status by arguing that symbolic capital is gained at the intersection of class and status, requiring one to both possess objects with perceived value and be able to demonstrate that value is appropriately held.

    Bourdieu

    Symbolic capital

    What is?
    the resources available to an individual on the basis of honor, prestige or recognition, and serves as value that one holds within a culture (wikipedia) an extension of Max Weber's analysis of status: Bourdieu argues that symbolic capital gains value at the cross-section of class and status, where one must not only possess but be able to appropriate objects with a perceived or concrete sense of value.
