This is that deliberately polemical writing you were doing in that Philosophy thread again, isn't it? Because of course you realise that, besides America, very few places are still interested in Whorff/ anthropological readings. Or perhaps the history of Contemporary French philosophy has passed you by? Lacan, any one?
