these conversations gave me a relief when I tried to reciprocate my art towards the people to whom I was going to direct it and also helped me to establish a price that, although I wanted my art to border on public prices, is not very affordable for a profession that does not obtain the immediate reward, like any job, you have to put it up for sale to live on it if that's how you want the commitment to be, very good video I'm glad the existence of this space

Correction: Bourdieu didn't release "Distinction" before 1979, but the data was based on his studies in the 60's. Thanks for the opportunity to discuss an interesting text! PS. Ortega's "Revolt of the Masses" (1930) might also be of interest to some of the viewers. - Magnus
