Well, there's his book on Heidegger (The Political Ontology of Martin 
Heidegger), which talks quite a bit about German fascism.  And since 
Heidegger was also a huge influence for Bourdieu, this might also be read 
as an example of Bourdieu's "study of the conditions of his own 
production". . .  though the particular aspects of Heidegger that he 
analyzes in that book are the same ones whose influence is so clear in 
Bourdieu.
