The effort to map trends in academic vocabulary, on the other hand, doesn't convince because the categorizations are arbitrary. You can't say what someone means by "power" or "identity" or "activism" or "Western" etc. without really looking at the specific contexts in which the terms are used.
Show PostThe main thing that this study shows is that because of underfunding and underinvestment in the humanities, we as a society have less and less research knowledge about culture and history. That's a significant finding. academysciencesletters.org/wp-content/u...
Show PostSome of the analytical framing in this study is questionable (I don't buy the "power"/"aesthetics"/"identity" categorization), but the finding that there has been a massive contraction in humanistic knowledge is significant: a consequences of under-funding and poor academic employment chances.

So my book now has a cover, featuring one of my favorite archival images. Forthcoming from the University of Pittsburgh Press in 2027!
