Yesterday’s Guardian carried a small story about the Tate gallery having an exhibition of paintings by Western artists that have an Eastern subject. The headline was “Gateway to the East: Tate shows rediscovered works” but it the story itself contains something of a rediscovered word… look in the antepenultimate paragraph and there is the quote:
There is a big market for this kind of painting in the Middle East which problematises the view that these works can only be seen in a western context
Problematises? Amazingly, it turns out to be a real word! Not sure it is being used correctly in that context, but its hard to tell: the definition is a bit opaque.
