Social Fl`1ux ... RE: meme/episteme

Anthony et al

You say you cannot speak to my concept of Social Flux. I think that I dealt
with agency in my work and I also drew on meme theory.

Chapter 7 of my thesis at:
www.geocities.com/lionelboxer/phd

Explains my concept of Social Flux. Background to social flux is in chapter
7 at the same url.

I am interested in hearing what those well read in Foucault think about my
ideas.
