This paper presents partial results of a research project which has the overall objective to evaluate the possibilities / limitations of ancestral knowledge of the indigenous peoples of Ecuador to be potentiated in another context. The text in question meets one of the specific objectives of the research that defines ancestral knowledge as a moving object: (1) knowledge contained in the subject carrying them, (2) forms of capital of a field agents social, down to become (3) social field itself, from which the potentiation of this knowledge is sought. The design methodology is focused on the analysis of the fundamental concepts of sociological theory of Pierre Bourdieu, then the contrast with the social dynamics of a particular field (Ancestral Knowledge) and finally, to account for the results.
