i sent some rather dastardly and blackhearted comments to the list the other
day, in response to some fairly "postmodernist" comments made by a colleague,
and have felt fairly guilty ever since; my comments were not meant to ridicule
the individual in question's argument, nor any failings on his use of a
second language, but were rather aimed at the rather opaque academic jargon he
used to express himself (as a result of which, i must admit i was not altogether
sure just what the fuck he was on about)
is it my imagination or is academeze on the comeback? can i blame it on
foucault (i like to blame most things on foucault) and other french
pseudo-philosophers who think more about being fancy stilists than presenting
content, or... has it really always been there and i just missed out during my
recent wilderness years?
