symploke phenomenon external to academia, an aside to its formal and conceptual expectations. That said, none of these reservations disqualify Theory Aside as a significant contribution within academia to the states of theory such as they exist now; after all, it gives us an important sense of how a good number of academics familiar with critical theory manage and conceptualize theory today.
