Re John H's [7842]: Aren't there colleges and departments that could be said to be interstitial? Indeed, isn't the frequent separation of the academy from the meanstream of social life in bourgeois society a common occurance? In these nooks and crannies of university life don't heterodox economists and other radicals work -- many of whom could claim that their work is "an attempt to keep the concept of revolution alive and central to our thought"? I'm guessing though that this was *not* what you had in mind re the possible revolutionary character of interstitial communities. My question then is the following: what makes certain interstitial communities revolutionary and others (even where radicals play a significant role) not? In solidarity, Jerry
