To which I can't resist appending...
Remember Terry Eagleton--natch, a theorist, but still...--who said
that anyone who claims to oppose all theory is really saying "all theory
but my own," because no one is without theory. Now, if Tom has a specific
kind or manifestation of theory in mind, well, maybe... Theory-bashing as a
generalized adoption of moral high ground, however, doesn't (as the
Baudrillard-loving Dr. Krause submits) wash with me. Neither does
academic-theory bashing, as a Cartesian stance. What academician is without
theories of appropriate and inappropriate
academic/intellectual/scholarly/pedagogical/etc. behavior? JMC
