      Hmm. Someone is saying that my essays are too academic & difficult to understand. I did not think they were. I define theoretical terms. 1/3

      When addressing PoMo & critical theory, I try to break down central concepts & show the problems for ppl who haven't/don't want to read it.

      But I am not the best judge of whether I succeed at this. Do you find my pieces easy to follow without a background in 'theory?'

          You are dealing with famously wilfully impenetrable theoretical terminology, that said I think you plainly convey their meaning.

          Seems to me that bringing something as rooted in academic discourse and jargon as PoMo to a wider audience is inherently a balancing act...

          I do need to use the language but I try to define anything I think might not be known to everyone. I sometimes think I overdo it.

          .. again I don't think you're trying to explain PoMo to toddlers here, so at a certain point you have to draw a line. So far what articles..
