Albert Hirschman and Academic Wandering
“Trespassing is often used in a negative sense in
the United States: for example, in notice boards that
say “No Trespassing!”, viewing it as a violation of
private property, but in my view it can have a positive
value: it can mean stepping over the borders between
one discipline and another, without seeing them as rigid
divisions. My last reversal of the accepted meaning is that
of “subversion”, which is also generally used in a negative
sense: “subversion? How terrible!”
