How can it be stable across national boundaries?  Are not the conditions of 
production of habuitus and the relations of the field from country to 
country rather different that despite the expansion of capital that the 
reading of texts and schemes of perception used to read them would vary?  
Bourdieu has commented on this in several essays.  I don't quite understand 
this policing metaphor. Is no one willing to posit values, affirm anything? 
why question those that do?  why not follow the advice of those offered by 
some here and delete what you don't want to read if you have no interest in 
affirming any values and political stakes involved so be it.  But don't use 
B. as a political tool that reproduces the spontaneous sociology that is 
rampant, particularly in American readings of Bourdieu.  Euoropeans are MUCH 
better at giving subtle, non-oppositional or thoughtless reproduction of 
Bourdieu's work.  If we are going to discuss this issue, I can't help but 
feel that some reading of Reflexive Sociology be a prerequisite for 
discussion.
