such a statement is better off without an author;
it is ludicrous!  B&T will gain insight into foucault
but not reification.  

however, having said that, yer probably rei-fering to
Adorno's _negative dialectics_ , a jeremiad agst
b&t that contains accusations of the reification
of "being"  by ol' Heidy.  (see also Adorno's
--the jargon of authenticity-- which may be a reified
interp of heideggerian Gerade).

regardless of lukacs, marx, heidegger or adorno,
i'd appreciate a lucid discussion of reification
here in "the very latest stages of capitalism"
--heh, heh, heh--
i think the term self-reified about 20 years ago.

kindest regards,
