The Dictionary of Fashionable Nonsense
The Dictionary of Fashionable Nonsense: A Guide for Edgy People is a 2006 book by Ophelia Benson and Jeremy Stangroom. The book is a satire on post-modernism, modern jargon and anti-rationalist thinking in contemporary academia. "Covering such schools of thought as difference feminism, deconstruction, and the sociology of knowledge, the author reveals that clotted jargon, tortured syntax, and unreadable style hides the fact that nothing new is being said." The book's authors were interviewed about the book by ABC radio in Australia.
