 Academic art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Academic art is a style of painting and sculpture produced under the influence of European academies or universities.
Academic art was first criticised for its use of idealism, by Realist artists such as Gustave Courbet, as being based on clichés and representing fantasies and tales of ancient myth while real social concerns were being ignored.
For most of the 20th century, academic art was completely obscured, only brought up rarely, and when brought up, done so for the purpose of ridiculing it and the bourgeois society which supported it, laying a groundwork for the importance of modernism.

 Townhall.com :: Columns :: 'Academic freedom'? by Thomas Sowell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Unfortunately, many of those who talk the loudest and longest about "freedom of speech" and "academic freedom" are in fact trying to justify the imposition of propaganda on a captive audience in our schools and colleges.
What prevents it are tenure rules that have saddled so many colleges with so many self-indulgent prima donnas who seem to think that they are philosopher kings, when in fact they are often grossly ignorant or misinformed outside the narrow confines of their particular specialty.
There is nothing in specialized academic expertise which makes professors' opinions on issues outside their specialty any better than anyone else's opinions.

 Masculinity and Academic Discourse
The theme of this textweb, which grows out of a presentation at the ISCRAT Congress in Aarhus Denmark (1998), is that academic discourse is a gendered, and in particular a masculinized discourse form.
The most fundamental theoretical proposal to be made is that gender, sexuality, class, age, and ethnicity or race are all aspects of a single unified social semiotic system for positional classification of persons and so none of these notions can be adequately theorized outside its relations to all the others.
Regarding the specific matter of academic discourse, I will examine in what ways its semantic features are used to reinforce stereotypically masculine elements of the identities of the male academics who deploy the discourse.
