Dear Dianne,
You don't have to plead guilty, nor do you have to abandon analysis, but you
may need to relax the compulsion to 'begin with a definition' and make
analysis your 'second resort', a supportive tool to facilitate - not drive -
your enquiry, if you are to avoid the prejudicial assumptions of objective
rationality that paradoxically invert the natural relationship between local
and non-local.
Good luck with the challenge!
Warmest
Alan
