Wallang Reference Wallang1 provides a stimulating and insightful consilience of wide-ranging ideas. This is what a journal should be about, not the repetitive reductive statistics cobbled together to further careers rather than knowledge. The traditional splitting of organic, phenomenological and analytic approaches is rarely appropriately addressed without reference to philosophy and culture; and then usually in an entrenched and divisive manner. Dr Wallang's very constructive syncretism, described in terms of the narrative triad, is a literate and absorbing one. Can we not give more prominence to such informed articles which enrich debate rather than burying it in computation?
