"When much energy is spent on showing that P is a perfectly deserving type of Q, the more fundamental question of what P is will often be neglected. These nonproductive (and non-academic) campaigns in favor of marginal media or aesthetic forms of expression are pathetic signs of a larger problem, however: they illustrate only too well the the partial and conservative state of the human sciences, in which nothing can be studied that is not already a field; in which the type rather than the individual qualities of an object determines its value as an accepted member of some canon or another. (Aarseth 16)"
