What are the "other circles" that you mention? Do you mean the  
classical literature on play, or the knutepunkt-books?
I ask because i dont want to make similar mistakes.
- It would be interesting to make a kind of bibliography, which one  
could use when writing about topics connected to larp.

While the "hobby"-publications are good, there are significant  
differences in them and scientific journal article and conference  
contributions. It has to do with how the latter must be shaped to take  
part in a debate that goes on in the field where it is written.

I have thought about the idea if it would have been possible to make a  
session during knutepunkt which was more research oriented, in other  
words, where those who works with larp in a research could meet,  
present, read and discuss each others papers in the style of academic  
conference. It might have made most sense to do something like this  
right before or after the convention itself, because i think this  
should be more academic than what take place at knutepunkt. What do  
you think of such an idea?
