>Traditionally, an academic discipline was a paradigm inhabiting an
>institutional
>structure. "Anthropology" or "English" was both the name of an academic
>department and a discrete, largely autonomous program of inquiry. If, 30
>or 40 years ago, you asked a dozen anthropology professors what
>anthropology's
>program of inquiry was--what anthropology professors did that distinguished
>them from other professors--you might have gotten different, and possibly
>contradictory, answers, because academic fields have always had rival schools
>in them. But, by and large, the professors would have had little trouble
>filling in the blank in the sentence, "Anthropology is ____." (And if they
>did not have a ready definition -- for anthropology has gone through periods
>of identity crisis in the past -- they would not have boasted about the
>fact.) Today, you would be likely to get two types of definitions, neither
>one terribly specific, or even terribly useful. One type might be called
>the critical definition: "Anthropology is the study of its own assumptions."
>The other type could be called the pragmatic definition: "Anthropology
>is whatever people in anthropology departments do."

>Lanham perceives students at a university as "visiting anthropologists"
>who must negotiate moving from tribe to tribe (academic departments) who
>are all convinced that they have the answer to the world's problems, and
>that their field of study is the only one worthy place to be, that is,
>if you are a smart person. However, they all speak different languages
>and have different customs. In Lanham's model, it is the students that
>are the "smart ones" because they must learn to cope in ways that the
>ossified
>departments themselves are incapable of.
