This thread was interesting reverberations if we consider impact versus significance. Given that many of those writers who've inspired groundbreaking archaeological research would, themselves, not have been considered *significant* within their disciplines (eg, the dismissal of continental philosophy within so many uk philosophy depts), might they claim impact? And what about archaeologists who have impacted on other disciplines but who, within archaeology, may be considered *insignificant*? That is, can anyone be *purely* marginal or significant? Archaeologists might think about these questions with Bhabha, Bourdieu or Deleuze + Guattari but I guess other disciplines are thinking with other scholars? How central might archaeology's thinking be around the margins? Angela --On Wednesday, March 24, 2010 11:25 -0700 "Christopher N.
