Estimable Emilio,

Oiga, don't leave us gringos completely out in the cold here!  Your
interest in interrogating Bourdieu's habitus via Elias's work sounds great.
I've always wondered why there hasn't been more work connecting Elias's
observations about early modern Europe's "advance in thresholds of shame"
to Bourdieu's distinctions between capitalist and non-capitalist
societies/habituses.  It sounds like you might be doing something along
those lines. I'd love to hear a bit more about your project (sea en espanol
o sea en ingles), and whether you've published anything on this.

gracias,
Maureen
