Prof, Whelan uses typical academic reifying jargon like,,,,,politicising the aesthetic space etc etc,,but it is dead language really, Oh to be sure i use reifying myself,, The idea that humanities subjects have to incantate and repeat abstractions for some sort of respectability is a blight on intellectual life ,It is the ritual repeated incantation I hate, It anesthetises sensibility & prevents thought & communication, Friel doesnt use dead language
so incredible.
