Spending a year in Paris in a program for foreign students at the Sorbonne, Fantasia lived in a perfectly squalid studio apartment in a lively North African neighborhood in the north of the city, where he discovered the best jazz clubs; attended lectures by the likes of Genet, Baldwin and Abbie Hoffman; and took extramural courses in "intermediate street warfare,追踪萨特,和“在巴黎吃饭，一天花费不到两美元”.他对美国有了更多的了解.S. society while in Paris than he ever could have learned at home.

The reading lists for his courses tend to be punctuated by various works of the late French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, with whom Fantasia was privileged to have been associated and from whom he relearned the practice of sociology.
