    Yeah but there’s no ‘hegemon’ as such; this model is all evolutionary and stochastic, where the hegemony is distributed and emergent, so while I think it’s okay of the context of the model to say he has some ‘effect’ that reinforces certain power structures, it’s not correct to say he has that ‘function’.

    Sort of like saying the ‘function’ of mushrooms is to decompose organic matter. That’s what they do, but no one put them there to do that.

      Huh, well I’ve definitely heard lots of sentences like that, so I guess we’ve just read different texts. Not much reason to argue semantics here.
