Yes, you were wrong, Louis. Unlike Zizek, Bourdieu is what we in Argentina
use
to call "gente seria". There is a Pacific Ocean between both of them.

One may agree with Bourdieu or not, but -to begin with- it is possible to
clearly understand what he says, he does not try to have you think "well, I
don't understand this guy, so he must be a genius".

And, his insights are very inspiring.
