I strongly disagree with Barry's indication that research that is without a disciplinary structure or "guidance" is inherently worse that other research. There may be questions that need to be posed in opposition to or without the safe and containing support of a discipline. It seems to me that feminisms, postcolonial studies, queer theory, and disability studies all suggested and continue to indicate that certain identities and questions have been prevented by disciplinary methods, boundaries, accepted areas of study, and beliefs. For instance, Linda Nochlin's "Why Are There No Great Women Artists?" suggested that prior to the 1970s that the education of artists and the field of art history rendered conditions where women could not be elevated to the status of great artist. Feminist critiques encourage us to look at what disciplines prevent, how they guide, and wonder about the ongoing disciplining of Women's Studies and Internet Studies. All my best, Michele
