Discourses of the Vanishing

I read this for my senior thesis - my advisor was a personal friend of the author, who apparantly is quite a bluegrass afficianado in addition to being a Japanese scholar of some repute. The book itself is a pretty perfect case of an academic text: it is by turns enlightening and infuriating. For example, this is the first place I ever encountered the word "phantasmatic", and, if I have any say in the matter, the last.

Why can't someone write a decent academic book about cultural change that doesn't read like an unitelligible glossary of made up words?
