I agree with Alan.If  we make  the distinction between studying the idea
and  studying the academically-created"studies in...Theory/"..   
A  problem  I  have  with lists  is that   academic  culture discusses  
within the boundaries  of the professional lexicon;and immediately I  am  
embroiled in another theme park,the  University of Utah,Disneyland's 
Dept of Twisted  Mirrors(courtesy of  the Education Engine)..

I don't know About JB being a great writer.Heidgger was not  Hemingway.
Who  has  the time,when the  meter  is  running  in  the  carpark?

Consider  the  third-order  simulation.

(Studies  in  Baudrillardean Theory 303)
-i.e. Disneyland camouflages  the fact that"real" America (and  any 
International variant  of America-which is  Everywhere)-is itself 
Disneyland.(which is  also Everywhere,looking very much like Nowhere on 
the other  channell)
Simulation is  not  a  question of  the truth/falsity of  signs  like 
Disneyland(or  Baudrillard Theory 303)

The  purpose of the simulation is  to mask the fact  that the  real is  
not  real-to  ensure that the reality principle is  not  threatened.This 
is the alibi of simulation.

Fair  enough,JB.

Over to  you,Bob.Redsox are going  to  have  to  pick up points
