I vote for the "reductivist, journalistic vulgate" camp. What's irritating 
about the Gopnik article is the casual--and typical--way in which 
questionable assertions are tossed off as gospel truth. The burden should be 
on Gopnik to prove his assertion about Bourdieu's attitude towards 
parliamentary democracy, something which I doubt could be accurately summed 
up in a sentence or two.

Any takers?  Does Bourdieu's work reveal or insist on such a low opinion of
parlimentary politics, or is Gopnik's characterization dismissable as merely
an example of a reductivist, journalistic vulgate?
