buggered if I know the anser to that ?
As for Hegemony I think that it is legitimate for me to accuse the USA of
attempting through its superior position in the worlds markets and otherwise
and to look at the publishing of academic papers and to understand the
structure, philosophy, purpose and culture of American Academia as an
extension of that economic dominance through its influence on the
distribution of the written word as a part of the US media phenomenon,
publishing is a capitalist entertprise and part of the media and
universities are constrained in what is studied there by economic factors
and much else.
Ther is no pure academic reserch and no pure thery, and I doubt there ever
was.
