<DIV><BR></DIV>Isn't working "across art history/criticism, cultural studies
'avant la lettre', film, music, design, etc" precisely what brings us all to
cultural studies, because that's now the discipline which allows just this
sort of magpie or seagull (bower bird?) behaviour? <BR><BR>One of the
interesting tensions or ironies in cultural studies is, in fact, its tendency
toward disciplinarity for reasons of academic professionalism, even though one
of its many useful revelations has been to remind us of how recent the
disciplines are, as a means of organising knowledge. Can we interpret "recent"
as "transient?" Probably not, but it certainly behoves all of us to keep the
holes in the fences open. Adrian, you are not alone.<BR><BR>Go
