Subject: Re: teaching undergrads Bourdieu -Reply



Hang on, everybody.  Did anyone actually suggest we should not direct
students to primary texts, to the actual Bourdieu works?  

I thought the issue was that some texts (and some parts of some texts) are
more accessible than others.  There must, after all, be a way in.

For example, I wish I had come across the essay 'field of cultural
production' sooner.  I had tackled Distinction (from start to finish - the
worst order), Inheritors (easy), Logic of Practice, and several others,
only to find this essay which puts his main points simply and accessibly.

I direct my students (sociology of culture) to this essay to start with.
