Hey Everyone,

We are new here. We are 141 days without a contract and mid bargaining with a management team who love stalling.

Hello Fediverse 🍇 We're a UK-based magazine of left philosophy and theory, self-published by editorial collectives since 1972.

We publish everyone from Judith Butler, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Antonio Negri, Étienne Balibar and Peter Sloterdijk to radicals, activists and intellectuals just at the start of their careers. Communist, socialist, feminist, queer, techno, art, ecological theorists...

We publish in print and online, currently three times a year. Our website contains our entire 50 year archive and there's no paywall. We'll post new issues with this account.

Look forward to meeting readers and writers, old and new, here on the Fediverse 💏

I have been holding off on an #introduction post here because I’ve been considering changing servers. But I guess I’ll do it here anyway. I am a historian and disaster scholar. The main themes of my posting are labor, disaster, urban affairs, and politics. I think a lot about the U.S. and Canada especially, with interest also in Japan. My pet peeve is when people call areas that drain to the Housatonic River the “Hudson Valley.”

Gabriel Winant’s fantastic N+1 essay on Mike Davis is among other things a concise overview of what real dialectical thought needs to do / via @johannawinant

Mike Davis’s Specificities | Gabriel Winant

The US working class was forged, for Davis, through its compounded historical defeat, which gave it a distinctive contradictory, battered, and lumpy form that could not be evened out through appeals to abstraction. Most importantly, the cycle of defeat and accommodation had separated the official labor movement from the Black working class, which he saw as the only possible “cutting edge” for socialist politics.

OK, here's an introduction: I'm an English professor at Notre Dame, teaching and writing about US literature, popular music, sound in general, feminist/queer theory, and cultural history. My new book, POLITICAL DISAPPOINTMENT, will be published by Belknap/Harvard UP next May. My previous book, GIRLS TO THE FRONT, was and still is a history of the punk feminist movement Riot Grrrl. I find the relative quiet of this new site oddly comforting.

A while back I published this introductory reading guide to Marxist literary criticism. Feel free to share, adapt, add to, cut or denounce it in any way you like. I hope it's of use.
