Not sure if it is moribund. Maybe they have discovered that Cultural Informational Transfer may have more non-genetically aligned properties than was originally claimed? There is overlap with other fields as well, so contention exists. But the concepts are there, they are not going away, the medium is much different and enhanced with computers and internet.
