If we want to master a conceptual apparatus, we need a certain overview of its history. This is important because terms and concepts mean different things within different traditions. Unless we situate the term field, a social scientist could be led to believe that we mean field in the Bourdieuian sense, i.e. a bit of a social reality tied together by a common focus. We do not; we mean the immediate relations within which the researcher does her work. The development of a conceptual terminology often reveals interesting connections with other disciplines and knowledge traditions. By having knowledge of this, one may better understand ambiguities and tensions embedded in concepts that one would otherwise have overlooked.
