A few searches in periodical databases suggest that bourdieuian is much 
more common than bourdieuean.  The form bourdieuvian also appears 
occasionally.  The latter is my own preference (along the lines of 
Peruvian); but there are so few words in English to which the rule might 
apply (igloovian?) that the rule is very weak (or nonexistant).  
However, isn't it the case that English often inserts a consonant 
between a noun ending in a vowel and the -ian suffix (Panamanian).

I've always found that Bourdieuean "felt" right to me.  Being stubborn, I've
sent stuff into print with this rendering of PB-qua-adjective, buying myself
some approbation in the process.
