Sorry if I do not have much time to look up references, but the index of "Reponse: Pour une anthropologie reflexive" shows references to W. on pages 32, 98,135, 156, and 240. If I remember well, there was an article on Bourdieu and W. in the last issue of the journal "Critique." As for the second part of your question, I guess that you have something specific in mind when you talk about "forms of life", but I do not know what it is. Sorry. Marc.
