Abstract

This article argues that individuals’ internalised frameworks, shaped by Bourdieu’s concept of habitus, play a crucial role in their ability to conceive entrepreneurial possibilities and to recognise opportunities. To explore this argument, interviews were conducted with Zimbabwean entrepreneurs residing in of Cape Town, South Africa. The participants exhibited diverse habituated experiences including culinary preferences, work backgrounds and family histories. The article contends that these habitual dispositions, whether conscious or unconscious, significantly influenced their decision to engage in entrepreneurship within the South African context.
津巴布韦人在南非的创业习惯
本文认为,由布迪厄的习惯概念塑造的个人内化框架,在他们构思创业可能性和识别机会的能力中起着至关重要的作用。为了探讨这一论点,对居住在南非开普敦的津巴布韦企业家进行了采访。参与者表现出不同的习惯经历,包括烹饪偏好、工作背景和家族史。文章认为,这些习惯性倾向,无论是有意识的还是无意识的,极大地影响了他们在南非背景下从事创业的决定。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
