Ways I have made up words in my papers this semester:
celebrification - the making of a celebrity
panoptical, panoptic, panopticonal, panopticonic - academic ways of making "Panopticon" into an adjective
panopticony - Joss Whedon's way of making "Panopticon" into an adjective
Othering - making the Other in to a verb. To make into an Other.
Self-Othering - what these Othered groups do
Othered - making the Other into an adjective
