Andy writes and Achilles responds in later note: there is always some possibility for people within a culture to see what things are like in the outside world, no matter how much a government tries to isolate people, and that there will always be some people in a culture who can base themselves on what they see outside to criticize their "own" culture. This possibility creates a valid ground for social criticism. This explicit grounding, while vulnerable to accusations of treason strikes me as one way to ground critique. It is part of wider dialogue/collusion/collaboration to identify at least cultural contingent critiques. mike _______________________________________________ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
