  Subject: [csaa-forum] Re: magpies and seagulls


  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? 

  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.

  Go magpies.
