Subject: Re: teaching undergrads Bourdieu


Hi to all,
my point of view as an undergraduate student is the following:
1) I have "discovered" Bourdieu reading Raisons Pratiques because of the beautful 
cover :-))) of the italian edition (a work od Duchamp), published by Il Mulino.
2) I found it really interesting and not so difficult to stop my intention to read  other 
works of B.
3) At lesson? Nobody made me study B. probably because it's easier for the 
professor to repeat year after year Weber, Comte or Durkheim, that's why I 
followed this mailing list.
4)As a student I would be absolutely happy to work with "hard" theories, involving 
me more than easy lessons do.
5)Infact in our University they habituate us to study only handbooks and not essays. 
That's silly! Only facing the complexity, students are obliged to think.

A la prochaine,
Giovanni Semi, gsemi-AT-mail.sociol.unimi.it
