Bordieu/Foucault: post-structuralism

Hi! My name is Albert. I am a college student studying sociology. I am in a sociology theory course in which each of us is required to teach a class period. My assignment is to teach a period in which we are covering selected readings from Discipline and Punish (Foucault) and The Logic of Practice/ Social Space and Symbolic Space (a lecture) by Bordieu. I was wondering if anyone could recommend texts which will prepare me for this assignment outside of the course readings? I have six weeks to prepare so there is time to read but I would like to find a commentary on these philosophers in general as well as analysis on the assigned readings if possible.

Reply to Albert1990 You can try Michel de Certeau “The practice of everyday life”.
There is a comparative critique of both Foucault and Bordieu. A little bit outdated, it gives a different
perspective.

That's the book with "reading as poaching" isn't it! I could never remember where I read that, which, there you go.
