Elizabeth Mackinlay, in Departing Radically in Academic Writing, writes:

BECAUSE we love words and writing, our yearning for academic words and writing to move differently in the world set them in movement — towards a way of writing that would creatively and critically revolutionise our academic work.

[…]

BECAUSE we crave academic words and writing that move us, that we feel, and can understand in our own ways.

I’m all for unimagined possibilities within academia.
