Field domain theory and the study of sport sociology

Starting with basic concepts in Pierre Bourdieu’s field domain theory and their influence on the sport sociology in France, the author specifically probed into the significance of the field domain theory in the study of sport sociology in terms of the development of sport concepts and the introduction of the body concept, then analyzed the development of such three concepts as habit, capital and field domain in the study of sport sociology, as well as the significance of the theory of field domain in practical applications from the perspective of criticism and practical application, and lastly reviewed the study of sport sociology in China via the elimination of the estrangement between subjectivism and objectivism as well as the determination of the value of the research subject by the theory of field domain.
