Abstract
Dichotomies are important because they enable identification of the object of study as well as theoretical and methodological tenet. This article outlines a number of dichotomies at the heart of the growing scholarly literature, at the same time suggesting that 'renegotiation' is both productive and necessary in order to move beyond a structuralist either/or view which risks oversimplification of the complex issues involved.
