Date: Fri, 24 Nov 1995 20:21:51 -0800 (PST) From: "Lauren O'Connor" <loconnor-AT-weber.ucsd.edu> Subject: Reading Bourdieu, introductory works In his Key Sociologists series, Richard Jenkins suggests tackling Bourdieu by starting with "Towards a Reflexive Sociology: A Workshop with Pierre Bourdieu" in Sociological Theory, vol. 7 (1989), 26-63, and then moving on to In Other Words, particularly chapters 1,2,3,8 and 13. Jenkins also suggests reading Logic of Practice over Outline of a Theory of Practice once you get to Bourdieu's major works. Although not mentioned by Jenkins, I found The Inheritors (co-authored with Jean-Claude Passeron) to be quite lucid and probably a good warm up for getting into his sociology of education and social reproduction. Hope this helps.
