When did problematic become a noun? Who do I need to spank? Was it someone French? I bet it was someone French. >:|

Example: "Cultural Studies, as a distinct problematic, emerges from one such moment, in the mid-1950's."

or, if you prefer:

"Changes in a problematic do significantly transform the nature of the questions asked..."

Both from Stuart Hall, "Cultural Studies: Two Paradigms"

Ugh :p

This isn't the first time I've encountered it.
