“Why do scientists never debate philosophers? It’s because they know they would be destroyed in argument, when they have to actually clarify their ridiculous and embarrassing belief system. Mandarins, in their little priesthoods, hide behind jargon so that they know that no outsiders can laugh at their lack of clarity. They create an in-language so that only the insiders can know how absurd the belief system is, and they all have a vested interest in maintaining the fiction. That’s how the Mandarin system works. They don’t dare to be clear because then it would be clear that they are the emperor in his new clothes and know nothing at all.”
Joe Dixon, The Mandarin Effect: The Crisis of Meaning

“Je ne comprenais ridn au langage de l’analyse littéraire. Je me rappelle des mots barbares. La narratologie, les niveaux métadiégétiques, les citations se Roland Barthes et de Mallarmé.”
Elsa Fottorino, Parle tout bas
