how can a prof. in Berlin be a prof. in scranton PA?  what produced them? 
what field, national,economic, ideological do they develop and operate in? I 
really hate to assume a position of authority, but have you ever read 
Bourdieu? He has addressed this point directly in several essays and it 
permeates his entire work.   sorry for the short fragementary posts...just 
traces of production
