Subject: About the critique of Bourdieu



Karl Maton very wisely suggested getting to know the critique levelled 
at Bourdieu's theory in order not to get mesmerized by it. I couldn't 
agree more - being currently a victim of that very mesmerism myself. My 
next question would then be: what do you consider the most relevant and
valid critiques of Bourdieu? Could you write down a list of themes or
particular texts? (Much of the critique of Bourdieu that I've read seems 
to misinterpret him in many points, but certainly there exists valid 
criticism not to be missed.)

best regards,
Sami Järvinen
university of Jyväskylä, Finland
