I googled Manicus on lchc and sure enough, came up with the following fragment from an earlier discussion: An interesting tip from a colleague. mike ------------------- "...a kind of historically oriented unified social science with overlapping, non-discrete, connected concerns." In: Peter T. Manicas, "A", page 214. Spelling that out a little more vis a vis inter-tradition-mashups it comes in a chapter on the americanization of social sciences and the way in which its founders selectively appropriated what they had learned. "They were German.... in thinking of *Geisteswissenschaft *as a kind of historically oriented unified social science with overlapping, non-discrete, connected concerns.: A rhyzhome, a fungle entanglement....?? Certainly descriptive of the situation that we find ourselves in, although I believe we are witnessing a variety of reinventions of the humane sciences of the 19th century. mike On Sat, Oct 1, 2011 at 12:39 PM, mike cole <lchcmike@gmail.com> wrote: > Both Larry and Christine. > > I have continued thinking about ways to make clearer affinities across > traditions/ > discourse communities.
