> I gotta admit this argument floors me. Are there straightforward,
everyday terms that can - with any discursive efficiency - cover the
meaning of modernism, orientalism, materialism, novel, gender, fugue,
Sophist, dialectic, or any of the types of poetry that demand highly
specified formal elements?

No, I'm not saying there are every day terms ...I'm just saying that "gender" seems a different kind of term than "molecule," and "dialectic" from "relativity."
