Neil,

what you are suggesting sounds like exactly the right stuff for *this* list 
... I have still not read enough Bourdieu to make many contributions 
myself, but I would dearly love to get yours.

Besides - with hardly any activity on the list at all, the risk of clogging 
would not be my most urgent concern.

What *I* am doing right now is trying to get a handle on Bourdieu versus 
Giddens on the structure v agency thing ... They "smell" different to me 
(different starting points - B in the insufficiency of structural theory to 
adequately describe actual practices, G in individual coping strategies to 
manage psychological needs), but I am having a difficult time pinpointing 
the positions. If anyone has anything to say on the topic I would like to 
hear it.

Sincerely,
