> It is unlikely that any classicist, historian, or > philologist would describe a theoria as tourists See below. But since 'he says / she says' is unproductive, especially philology in the context of design, let me say that the reference to Ulmer was also to suggest theory-making can also be [not 'is' and certainly not 'is only'] abductively productive. In other words, there might be some- thing other than historical truth claims going on when Ulmer writes the following articles: Ulmer, Gregory L. "Theory Hobby Handbook: Lesson Ten." in: Exposure 28. Society for Photographic Education. 1991, pp. 85-90. Ulmer, Gregory L. "Theory Hobby: how-to-theory." in: Art & Text 37. 1990, pp. 96-101. Ulmer, Gregory L. "Handbook for a Theory Hobby." in: Visible Language 22. 1988, pp. 399-422. _____________ "Herodotus often appears as just such a "wondering stranger" or, as we would say, tourist (one gloss for theoria is "tourism")."
