From: "Rohit Chopra" <cosmicomic-AT-hotmail.com> Subject: [BOU:] Question Date: Sat, 07 Aug 2004 21:40:50 +0000 Hello. I was wondering if anyone on the list could suggest some readings that critique /assess the problematic of Eurocentricity in Bourdieu. I am using Bourdieu's work as the theoretical framework for a reading of Indian history for my dissertation. I know of Bourdieu's own arguments about the symbolic violence of Western anthropology, and his arguments for a reflexive methodology that allow a genuinely universal social science. Essentially, the question I am grappling with is what are the limits and license of applying Bourdieu's concepts of field to India, *given that Bourdieu bases the concept on a descriptive reading of developments in Western society since the middle ages*. Any suggestions in this regard would be much appreciated. With regards Rohit Chopra _________________________________________________________________ News, views and events.
