I, too, would be interested in references relevant to Stanton Wortham's
query re the commodification of classroom discourse. And since the topic
(like the contents of McDermott's article) are relevant to the interests
of xmca-o-philes, why not post them here. Perhaps, Stanton, you could
provide a precise of the concept of commodification you have in mind?
I would also really appreciate this too. Also, Stanton, if you have time
could you also write a note about what you have in mind in thinking about
Bourdieu's 'theory of language' (as distinct from other aspects of his
theories?)
Thanks
