I strongly recommend a new book by Thierry DeDuve, Clement Greeberg:Between The Lines. Univ. Chicago Press 2010. This is a translation of Thierry's earlier essays on Greenberg and it does get to the issue of "what happens during an a.e." but I'm not sure there is an answer that would satisfy Cheerskep because he is so insistent on literalism.

Mrz. 2010, 21:04 Thema: Re: "What is happening during an 'a.e.'?" preaching from a great height about the folly of failing to grill such phrases as "stand in for". I claim all you guys have only the foggiest notion behind such usages. Substitute for. Use instead oflisting all specifics. Stand in for was not very good. Kate Sullivan But I can't so preach at the moment because I'm tied up arranging for a lawyer to stand in for me in a legal wrangle in California. (Heh-heh!)
