You too can be an academic ...

How to write like a professor. Yes, really, academic writing on tap. Four clicks and a PhD seems tantalizingly in reach courtesy of the Virtual Academic at the University of Chicago. Thank god for the internet. My three creations:

"The eroticization of post-capitalist hegemony asks to be read as the politics of the specular economy."

"The epistemology of civil society opens a space for the historicization of the nation-state."

"The illusion of normative value(s) invests itself in the authentication of exchange value."

And yes, after year's of editing an academic journal I can attest that such sentences appear all the time - in fact I'm so attuned to them that these seem entirely plausible to me! (they probably are)

Thanks to The Bunburyist for the initial link.
