      I know, academic writing: fish in a barrel. But imagine a student eagerly signing up for a course on Middlemarch, Jane Eyre, Vanity Fair and Our Mutual Friend; starts reading the assigned book about them called The Novel As Event; and finds it filled with passages such as these.pic.twitter.com/QhMyP36kue

      Imagine a student eagerly signing up for a course on introductory physics; starts reading the assigned book; and finds it filled with equations such as this. Turns out that every field has its advanced literature for specialists that wouldn't be given to undergrads in a survey.pic.twitter.com/tPAyplEBe4

      A good physicist or chemist can usually explain in reasonably simple words to a layman what even a very complicated equation means and what it describes. Can you explain than gibberish to a layman without it reducing to triviality?

      Lit professors do exactly that every time they teach. That's kind of the, y'know, *job description*.

      The rouble is, if you boil this down to what it's actually saying you don't really get anything that isn't obvious. Using language to obscure meaning or its absence is the opposite of the academic method.

      Interestingly, Judith Butler - the master of obscurity - is actually capable of extremely clear writing. In one of these, she actually said that the obfuscation is intentional because demands for clarity are cis hetero male bla bla something.

      I like how you admit one of the canards launched at humanities academics is obviously false -- Butler doesn't write the way she does because she's a "shitty writer" and "doesn't know how to communicate" But then you decide her doing it "on purpose" must just be to fuck with you

          Rather than the fact that she obviously is a skilled writer who knows what she's doing, and that she has a reason for writing in what seems to you to be an obscurantist style -- a reason you dismiss as "cis hetero bla bla bla" because you are, in fact, ignorant
