This entry places significant emphasis on the Linguistic usage of the term. It emerges in the 1970s in association with interdiscplinary journals drawing from literature and anthropology. This should be reflected.

[edit] Carlos Castaneda

My understanding is that Castaneda is a very controversial figure, and many people out there consider his career to be largely fraudulent, told in semi-fictional popular narratives to appeal to 1970s stoners. Are there some scholars who take his claims seriously? - Smerdis of Tlön 19:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

You are right. He is not notable for his contributions to scholarship. However I think his contribution to literatures about native americans have been influential enough to warrant a mention here even if they aren't uncontroversial. This article needs a very good work over - I will try to do it this coming week and I doubt anyhting of what's in it now will remain. Maunus 21:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
