They repurposed the word, you know.

Before Wordle meant that annoying game that everyone keeps posting about, Wordle was a tool for analyzing a chunk of text and displaying the words that the author used most often.

This was the Wordle of my first book, GenderQueer: A Story From a Different Closet:

wordle of genderqueer


Well, here's the Wordle for That Guy in Our Women's Studies Class, which from its title might seem likely to be more akin to an academic text full of scary polysyllables and insider terminology. It mostly isnt:

If you want to see a genuinely abstruse academic paper's Wordle for comparison's sake, here's what my 1992 paper "Missing in Action: Radical Feminism and/or Poststructuralist Feminism in the Academy" looks like:

There's this application called "Wordle" that snags all the words from whatever you paste or link to and then turns the most commonly used words into a word-poster. It's a cute and clever way of capturing the "feel" of a piece.

Here's the Wordle of my book:

Wordle of StoryofQ


For comparison, here's the Wordle of this very blog:

Wordle of Blog


... and one from one of my academic theory papers:

Wordle of RFvLitCrit


My book looks quite accessible, doesn't it? (Although, like, maybe almost like, you know, the author likes some words like more than he likes to think, I mean, like, really?)
