What I don't like about academic writing..

Trying to write in that shitty language they like.. "I will explore textual hybridities implicit in an narrative written in a dominant culture which intentionally includes unintelligibility to create a writer-reader praxis"

That and the insane names of journal articles:

Hooking the Nose of the Leviathan: Information, Knowledge, and the Mysteries of Bonding in the Gold Bug Variations

Dildos, Hummingbirds, and Driving Her Crazy: Searching for American Indian Women's Love Poetry and Erotics

“Swing Low Sweet Chariot”: The Scrotality of Afro-American Hymns and Bi-Cultural Resistance

Wild Strawberries, Cataracts, and Climbing Roses: Clitoral and Seminal Imagery in the Optimist's Daughter
