In recent work on responses to global climate change, I've come across some
extensive use of an obnoxious trend from cultural anthropology called
"Cultural Theory" (cited to Mary Douglas and a host of others). If anyone
is familiar with healthy materialist critiques, they would be very welcome
- I'd rather not have to reinvent the critical wheel if it's already been
done...

Thanks in advance,
