- 2000, Jason A. Frank, ‎John Tambornino, Vocations of Political Theory (page 239)
  While political theory frequently appears condemned to nostalgic reflection, cultural studies often dulls its critical edge in the never-ending stampede to document the newest styles and counterstyles of the cultural marketplace.
