It is curious to me that this term, "non-institutionalized", is being used
to describe the
xmca email site, when all of the participants work in institutional
settings, when the site itself is maintained through an instutitions
mainframe computer,

when all the languaging and discourse practices are coming instutionalized
theory and experience; practices originating, for the most part, in
instituional settings... surely we can't detach our emailings from our
institutionalized
selves so easily?

is there, in fact, any setting which can be detached from an institutional
organization?

wondering about complicity...
