Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 21:28:26 +0900 From: Kingsley Garbett <kgarbett-AT-picknowl.com.au> Subject: Bourdieu's health The wolves are gathering, the vultures hover. Are we all welcome to the feast that will shortly be held to haggle over the bones? What a wonderful exemplification of the theory of practice of this great genius our dissonant discourses are. We have created a field of struggles in which we are battling to assert a truth and for the right to assert what that truth is. Unfortunately, we have all forgotten another aspect of the theory as we each vie with one another from the position of our taken-for-granted worlds, that in our practice as analysts we must eschew the taken for granted and reflect continually on where we ourselves are positioned in the field of struggles. As one of my teachers once remarked, “before you call some one ass head, take care that you yourself are not speaking through bully Bottom's mask”.
