Bourdieu reading or Mental Diuretics, Think yourself Thin!

Yikes. I think this guy must have been paid by the word. Um....well.......I cant say I exactly get what is being said here but I think that it has something to do with the creation of art, the role of the artist, the affect of commerce on same and finally on the reaction by the larger economic/power structure of society. Is that right? I must be honest I really dont understand and need some cliffs notes to get any more out of it but i did detect a certain nihillistic attitude towards the ideas of art and production and really just want to tell this surrender-monkey frog to go jump in the Seine and leave me and my fellow artists alone. The thing about this particular brand of navel gazing that separates it from Foucalt and Derrida, both of which I like and actually can understand, is that Bourdieu's writings seem impractical and ultimately useless to the very individuals who have been so studied and dissected. In one passge he spoke of the critics and the museum staff and the gallery personnel and their roles in determining the value, economic and philosophical, of an art work at hand and how each in doing so was forced to also present their right to do so, but no where did I see anything about the artists rights. It seems like art was created which created critics and thinkers and rather than being thankful to the creators for creating something for these lazy eggheads to do all day other than drink espresso and smoke they seem hell bent on telling the creators (the artists) why they arent artists and how useless their work is! Its Paradise Lost all over again! "God is dead and you have killed him!" only problem is the Superman these guys create will be a monstrosity of self loathing and despair at its own existence- a perpetual 'Tween'.
