    I have spent the evening reading Homi Bhabha and Judith Butler. My head hurts so much now. I am tempted to change my mind on whether words can be violence having been reminded how they both use them.

        I think I should get danger money for writing about this stuff. There's the headache of reading it, the headache of translating it into more survivable terms for you lot, and the never-ending headache of trying to parse the incoherent objections of their admirers.pic.twitter.com/2k9tpSwX13

        Hahaha. Bad luck. I was actually taught by Homi at Sussex. It was like spending several hours wrestling with a roomful of alphabetti spaghetti. In *Critical Practice* Catherine Belsey warned us about 'the tyranny of lucidity'. Judith Butler preferred the tyranny of obscurantism.

        Wasn’t one of her more fatuous paragraphs a prize-winner?

        Yes, the 1998 Bad Writing award. (I do wish they’d bring that back — it’s still needed).

        Yes. I’m all in favour of the tyranny of lucidity, myself. (Nearly typed tranny of lucidity there. But that’s probably too much to ask for.)

        Ugh I remember Homi Bhabha from grad school. A real dog's breakfast. Academic grifting at its most obtuse. Butler's not that bad in comparison lol

        Gobbledygook is the norm in postmodern "scholarship." This quote is from feminist scholar Judith Bulter, who I am pretty sure has more citations than Einstein. It received the first Bad Writing Prize in 1998: pic.twitter.com/1pRiETClaj
