The Politics of Everyday Fear
Brian Massumi, Editor
1993 Fall
The contemporary consumer is bombarded with fear-inducing images and information. This media shower of imagery is equaled only by the sheer quantity of fear-assuaging products offered for our consumption. The contributors address questions raised by the saturation of social space by capitalized fear.

Halley, Philip Brian Harper, Andrew Parker, Cindy Patton, Robert Schwartzwald, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Steven Seidman.
Transfigurations of the Maghreb
Feminism, Decolonization, and Literatures
Winifred Woodhull
1993 Fall
Through readings of some of the best-known texts in Algerian literature in French, Woodhull both challenges the separation between French and Francophone literatures and cultures in the academy and explores the ways in which “femininity” has been represented in the texts of North African and French writers since the mid-1950s.
Gender on Ice
American Ideologies of Polar Expeditions

Discourse Analysis as Sociocriticism
The Spanish Golden Age
Antonio Gomez-Moriana
1993 Spring
Gómez-Moriana applies contemporary literary theory to classical texts of the Spanish Golden Age, including Lazirillo de Tormes, Don Quijote, Tirso de Molina’s Don Juan play, and Columbus’s Diary. “Gómez-Moriana’s skillful handling of literary theory is matched by his thorough scholarship and excellent knowledge of history.” --Nicholas Spadaccini
Ruthless Criticism
New Perspectives in U.S. Communication History
William S. Solomon and Robert W. McChesney, Editors
1993 Spring
The Phantom Public Sphere
Bruce Robbins, Editor
1993 Spring
In a postmodern society, can we still speak meaningfully of a public sphere? The contributors address this question by presenting the public sphere and the public/private opposition as a truly interdisciplinary field of inquiry. Among the issues discussed are Jesse Helms’s censorship campaign and the televised Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas Senate hearings.

Amerindian Images and the Legacy of Columbus
Rene Jara and Nicholas Spadaccini, Editors

On Edge
The Crisis of Contemporary Latin American Culture
George Yúdice, Jean Franco and Juan Flores, Editors
1992 Spring
“On Edge is where the reader will be, anxiously at the margins of Latin America’s elite centers, throughout this excellent collection of essays on cultural and political innovations. It is a most welcome hands-on guide to some of the post-modern challenges to projects of national modernization, a cultural analogue to studies of new political movements.” --Doris Sommer
