Here here! the statement try reading, in response to the savaging of 
Bourdieu's texts, pulling concepts out by their roots ingnoring 
relationality and the basics of his work in developing a relation to the 
object.  I think its not too much to ask that one read earlier "theoretical" 
texts like Outline or The logic of Practice....as a matter of fact I think 
there is an ethical demand to do so, and which is political...the political 
states of this can't be underestimated and interventions into the logic of 
the field and its production should be met with accusation of elitism or 
authoritarianism.
