Unlike poets, critical theorists sometime need a little help from computer programs to let language write them. Hence, this nifty little tool from the University of Chicago. Now everyone can write nonsensical sentences with no graduate school required!

Wow. I tried a dozen combinations and everytime the computer generated gibberish that sounded like it came right out of an academic journal. I’m not sure what this means, but it can’t be good.

This is hilarious! The writing program at U of C has always been known for things like these. When I was a student there, I took a course on the academic writing and every lecture, the profs came up with some of the out of this world sentences to help us write. The best part: they poked fun at themselves and the academic lingo, which was a welcome relief from all the Heidegger and Lacan, etc I had to read.

The Postmodern Essay Generator has been around on the internet for years, too. I used to have a few of them up on my office wall, in homage to Alan Sokal.
