  text: Drawing from Pierre Bourdieu’s conceptual “toolbox”, this article focuses
    on intercultural capital as an increasingly significant type of cultural capital
    and marker of sociocultural distinction. It first introduces different forms of
    intercultural capital, with a particular interest in the potential benefits of
    its embodiment. Subsequently, the critical question as to why some people can
    be considered as better positioned to realize intercultural capital than others
    is being addressed. The remainder of the discussion looks at possible operational
    “measures” for the concept of intercultural capital and how these may be applied
    to examine the conditions and potential impact of its realization.</jats:p>
