Abstract
The article interprets the notion of professional dynasties through the analysis of micro-network production based on the concepts of social capital (P. Bourdieu, A. Portes and P. Landolt), social group closure (F. Parkin) and family status (D. Bertaux, I. Bertaux-Wiame).The empirical basis of the study is the results of autobiographical narrative interviews with representatives of professional dynasties (with at least three generations) in the field of science and medicine. The findings indicate that professional dynasties presuppose formation and reproduction of micro-local networks in professional sphere and assume specific mechanisms for the transmission of social and symbolic capital. The consolidation of dynastic micro-networks in the social space is carried out in the reproduction of cultural practices, examples of professional action, value models, labor ethos, features of communication techniques and methods pursuant to the profession, surname branding and an increase in rehearsal resources. On the basis of empirical material, the hypothesis about the implementation of the dynastic broadcast not only on a professional, but also on a cratic basis is further verified.
