The author considers Pierre Bourdieu’s conceptual formula where (habitus) (capital) + field = practice and brings it to the field of international migration. She proves that a complete, cohesive application of Bourdieu’s theory in migration studies has much greater heuristic potential than the use of isolated individual concepts—it enables a new view of the social world where international migration constitutes an inherent part. It aims at explaining such phenomena as transnational habitus, forms of capital in migration process, migratory field, and transnational practices.
