is dominated by 'scholars' who differ less and less from bureaucrats :-)For some truly bizarre gobbledygook check this out: Ritual, Anti-Structure, and Religion: A Discussion of Victor Turner's Processual Symbolic Analysis, Mathieu Deflem, 1991. Especially the line, "Having discussed Turner's notion of anti-structure ..." except that the discussion is nowhere to be found, no such thing! Pretentious bonehead!And the rest of the 'scholars' I have dredged up with Google are entirely well hidden behind pay-per-view interfaces, oh well.Let me see if I can get this out.We have a cosmos which increasingly appears to consist of both matter and anti-matter. Though you can't exactly see anti-matter, it seems to be there eh? Society and culture, on the other hand, increasingly appear to consist only of 'matter' - materialism, exclusive humanism, excarnated incarnations, rationality gone wild (if you will permit such a phrase :-) Taylor talks about a balance between structured culture and unstructured moments such as Carnival - and suggests that this balance is essential, and not just as some kind of safety-valve either.The distinctions natural/supernatural and immanent/transcendent are equivalent for Taylor. (This was a major step for me because somewhere along the line I got a different idea of what 'immanent' meant.) The supernatural and the transcendent are being done away with, clear enough.Echoes of, or maybe just a hint of, trickster gods, coyote ... as ... necessary for the health of the community, or, given what I know of global climate change as a function of instrumentalism and 'externalities', would that be for the health and continued existence of the species itself maybe?I've seen the future brother, it is murder.I didn't really expect any relevant commentary in the press - then I read Mark Kingwell in the Globe, so I will start a package of references, maybe even include the text from Mathieu Deflem mentioned above, then again, maybe not.1.

Which is one reason I like to drink it, chilled to within an inch of freezing, on fishing trips to Montana and New Hampshire.Now it seems that PBR is the latest evolution of the advertising industry. In Rob Walker's new book, Buying In, he recounts how a Pabst executive, after reading Naomi Klein's No Logo, decided to low-key his company's campaign, targeting a countercultural market-slice of skateboarders and surfers precisely by pretending not to target them. His company quietly sponsored events and concerts, selling its beer almost as an afterthought - as if, Mr. Walker
