The Feral Issue

ns 73-74 | Fall 2009/Spring 2010

The "Feral Issue" presents work by a range of people, from those who have been doing animal studies all along to those newly exploring the field. If it has a leaning, it is to build a cultural materialist account of animals in our world. We hope that the writing here will give our readers a sense of what animal studies is and where it's going, and also add some new voices to its course.

Books for Review

The minnesota review is a journal of creative writing, literary theory, and cultural critique.

Founded in 1960, the minnesota review originally published avant garde fiction, poetry and graphic work. Beginning with ns 18, the review began to acquire its politically consciousness reputation. Jeffrey J. Williams, editor from 1992 until 2010, moved the journal from an exclusively Marxist emphasis to a broader literature & cultural studies emphasis.

In 2010 the minnesota review moved to Virginia Tech under the editorship of Janell Watson. Duke University Press will become the review's publisher beginning in 2011.

Critics at Work
ed. Jeffrey J. Williams.

Critics at Work offers a guided tour through the central, sometimes confusing and frequently controversial developments in contemporary literary and cultural criticism. The tour guides, however, are not distant observers but have been primary participants in those developments, and they report on theory, cultural studies, the literary canon, the recent focus on race, sexuality, and other identities, the state of the univerisity, and the role of the intellectual. Throughout, they consider the not always easy negotiation of politics and culture.
