Chuunibyou: a Japanese slang term where people with chuunibyou act out by looking down on others resulting in a subculture-type preference for minor trends thereby seeking a "cool" factor. To this author, an apt description of how the lecture has been unfairly viewed in recent years as a poor pedagogic tool, in essence, an academic chuunibyou! My central belief here is that the lecture is a useful, relevant pedagogically focused application of the professional teacher working their craft and can be viewed in essence as facilitating a powerful “pedagogy of gesture”References
