Why is it that their version of public never includes anything or anyone unwashed? Hardly want to attack those trying to protect academic discourse from absorption by entrepreneurial interests but for people who know a lot about social movements they sure like to keep the discourse on a Berlin-NYC-Berkeley axis. Having been so elitist in their concept and praticn of the public, they and dear Martha Nussbaum find the wolf now at their door. Anyone who is anyone would obviously shout, "Indignez vous!!" Two decades too late. Will forward you Colin Barker's address. Do you want to talk before Wed call to Northeastern?
