"[T]he present jumbling of varieties of discourse has grown to the point where it is becoming difficult either to label authors… or to classify works… It is a phenomenon general enough and distinctive enough to suggest that what we are seeing is not just another redrawing of the cultural map-the moving of a few disputed borders, the marking of some more picturesque mountain lakes-but an alteration of the principles of mapping. Something is happening to the way we think about the way we think."

Clifford Geertz, Blurred Genres
