Maps of the intellectual landscape are always awkward affairs. The boundaries between different subjects are not entirely contingent — reasons can always be found for the fences to run this way rather than that — but neither do they seem to correspond to any clearly defined, ‘natural’ divisions. And, as we know, maps are instruments of power: even (especially) maps of an intellectual landscape.
Derek Gregory & Rex Walford (1989)
