Extract

In Profession 2005, Louis Menand complained that the same theoretical paradigm has dominated the humanities during the last few decades and that new ones are sorely needed: “What [humanities departments] need to do is hunt down the disciplines whose subject matter they covet and bring them into their own realm” (14). Biocultures may be one of the new paradigms he was looking for, both theoretically and practically.
