Okay all, I need help from your collective memory.  I'm trying to track down
two things.

1) Somewhere in *Dialectic* (I think--maybe not), Bhaskar speaks, in
passing, of society being "concept-dependent but not concept-exhausted"
(more or less in those words).

2) During the "Reading Bhaskar" session at the RM conference, someone talked
about a place in (I think) *Dialectic* where Bhaskar discusses the
relationship between the perceiving subject, the real object, and the object
as perceived.  (I'm presuming my memory isn't playing tricks on me.  I
certainly don't recall reading it in *Dialectic* myself.)  The person even
used the blackboard to write up Bhaskar's graphical representation of this
idea, which was something like:  S - O' - O.  This does *not* appear to be a
reference to what Bhaskar talks about in *Dialectic* 271-2, which concerns
the way that the subject-object relationship is articulated within
subjectivity and language, yet that articulation itself occurs within a
larger objectivity (the world).  (If this person is now on line, hello!)

Neither methodical page-turning nor aleatory techniques have succeeded in
locating these discussions.  Your help is much desired!
