The work of a musicologist towards finding influences of French music in that of Shostacocitch is very much research.

Or Shostakovich, even? Or perhaps there's a similarly named composer I haven't heard of?

Regardless, I think you are about 50 years out of date on the topic of what constitutes scholarship in the humanities.

Here are the recent scholarly publications of a colleague of mine from the English Department

Audre Lorde's Zami: A Portrait of the Artist as a Black Lesbian
Being an I-Witness: My Life as a Lesbian Teacher
Teaching What I'm Not: An Able-Bodied Woman Teaches Literature by Women with Disabilities
Crossing the Road, or, What's a Nice Lesbian Feminist Like You Doing in a Place Like This?

No. I don't call this research. I don't even call it scholarship.

Irrelevant blather about Lagrangians deleted. Don't try to snow me, buddy.

Perhaps, it is the lack of your familiarity with the fields outside of "hard sciences" that leads you to the false conclusion.

Nope.

A line I'm unlikely to use.

Sorry I wasted my time: from an earlier post I thought you were a physicist and thought that the parellel given in that post might interest you. What I wrote in that post you will not find anywhere in print and, for an intellectually curious person, should be meaningful.

No need to be defensive: I will not repeat my mistake by writing to you again.

P.S. Sorry for mistyping the name of Shostakovich; I suspect that was not my only typo.
