You might feel more relaxed if I'd written `culturally contaminated' or
`linguistically constrained' or `habitually biased'. That conveys a large
part of what I find interesting in these forms of analysis (when the
poststructuralist analysts don't have their heads up their own arses). But
it still misses aspects of *enablement* in social constructions.
