  8. ''...This article says that 'queer theory' must stop stereotyping fat people. Even Professor Lauren Berlant does it in her critical essay about neoliberalism, Cruel Optimism! Fat people have been stereotyped. And its about time we stop doing that. Like those 'for and after' pictures of fat people. Or even Professor Berlant's own work when she uses the words 'a congealed form of history that hurts' [fat congeals]. The article instead highlights the often ignored work on the subject of fatness by [academic, author, essayist, critic, poet] Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. Using Sedgwick's poem The Use of being Fat, this article argues the case for fatness. Leaving 'queer theory' with two questions...'' At about this point I realised I was wasting my life. And ceased to be interested in what the article, or the write up of the article, had to say. This is a disastrous failure of both the write up of the article, and the article itself. Because if your whole career is based on ideas, then, in order to spread those ideas (which presumably you wish to do), you need to make those ideas easily understood. As there is no point being in the 'marketplace of ideas' if you don't intend to sell your wares (as would be the case in the real world). But these are not ideas that the authors wish to sell. Outlining the basics of an idea should be of paramount importance. But instead we have deliberately incomprehensible (and grammatically bogus) writing. Designed to appeal only to (and be read by) an inducted elite. There are only two reasons why someone would write as badly as this. 1) They wish to appear cleverer than they actually are. Or 2) They wish to disguise the fact that, despite all the work involved (and tax dollars received), they have very little to say.
