Shädy Äcres is (are?) on a roll these days. Note their both theoretical and historical treatises on panty theory. This interdisciplinary, hermeneutical/philological approach (with Roland Barthes' Mythologies sort of creeping around in the back of it), for my money, breathes new life into the old panty autonomy vs. undergarment plurality argument. And people: hose theory is dead. Time to get over it and move on.
