When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user requests:

Analysis of social fields or domains (education, politics, art, etc.)
Identification of field boundaries and rules of the game
Analysis of capital distribution and power relations
Assessment of field autonomy from external forces
Understanding of habitus and its relationship to field structure
Investigation of struggles and power dynamics within fields
Analysis of how social positions are structured and reproduced
Examination of the relationship between objective conditions and subjective dispositions
Need for systematic planning and progress tracking in field analysis
Integration with planning-with-files for project management

Quick Start

When a user requests field analysis:

Identify the specific field and its boundaries
Map positions and relationships within the field
Analyze capital distribution and power relations
Assess field autonomy and historical development
Interpret findings in social context

Core Functions (Progressive Disclosure)

Primary Functions

Field Mapping: Identify positions and relations within the field
Capital Analysis: Identify and map different types of capital
Power Relations: Identify dominant and dominated positions
Basic Habitus: Understand participants' dispositions
Project Planning: Integrate with planning-with-files for systematic workflow

Secondary Functions

Boundary Analysis: Define field boundaries and exclusions
Struggle Dynamics: Analyze ongoing struggles and their stakes
Autonomy Assessment: Evaluate independence from external forces
Historical Analysis: Trace field development over time
Progress Tracking: Monitor analysis progress with planning-with-files

Advanced Functions

Symbolic Violence: Identify mechanisms of domination and misrecognition
Multi-field Analysis: Examine relationships between fields
Field Evolution: Analyze changes in field structure
Complex Habitus: Examine how habitus enables/constrains practice
Integrated Planning: Full workflow integration with planning-with-files

Detailed Instructions

1. Field Identification

Clearly define the field of analysis
Identify the specific social space being examined
Establish the historical and geographical context
Determine the relevant time period for analysis

2. Field Mapping

Create a relational map of positions within the field
Identify the key actors and their positions
Analyze the objective relations between positions
Determine the principles of division within the field

3. Capital Analysis

Identify the different types of capital valued in the field
Map the distribution of capital among participants
Analyze how capital is converted and recognized
Examine how capital shapes position-taking

4. Power Relations Analysis

Identify dominant and dominated positions
Analyze the struggles occurring within the field
Examine the stakes of these struggles
Understand how power is exercised and contested

5. Autonomy Assessment

Evaluate the field's autonomy from external forces
Analyze the degree of field-specific logic
Identify mechanisms of symbolic violence
Assess the field's historical development

6. Habitus Understanding

Analyze the dispositions of field participants
Examine how objective conditions shape subjective dispositions
Understand the relationship between structure and agency
Consider how habitus enables and constrains practice

7. Synthesis and Interpretation

Integrate findings from all dimensions
Connect field analysis to broader social processes
Consider Chinese social context and cultural specificities
Provide actionable insights

8. Planning and Progress Management

Initialize project planning with planning-with-files
Create field analysis task plan document
Track progress across all analytical phases
Record key findings and theoretical insights
Monitor overall project status and milestone achievements
