Potential contributors, please check out this entertaining, enlightening, and highly readable article by ESIC long-time author Jens Kjeldgaard-Christiansen:
New (open access) publication by me: "Obscurantism in Academic Writing: What It Is and Why It Is Bad." I publish the piece as the editor of the journal. It has not been reviewed, and it is meant to be a little informal and opinionated :-) tidsskrift.dk/lev/article/vi…

My bit begins at 2:41:52. We talk about my article in @psychmag on dad jokes, which you can read here: bps.org.uk/psychologist/dad-…
That article is in turn based on my research article in @ESICulture, which can be found here: doi.org/10.26613/esic.5.2.24…

For @ESICulture, I have reviewed James Cutting’s Movies on our Minds, an excellent book that summarizes the most interesting findings from his more than two decades of research into the cultural evolution of popular movie form
