    • digital studiesOur main focus will be on scholarly books about digital technology and culture, but we will also branch out to articles, legal proceedings, videos, social media, digital humanities projects, and other emerging digital forms. As humanists our primary intellectual commitment is to the deeply embedded texts, figures, and themes that constitute human culture, and precisely the intensity and thoroughgoing nature of the putative digital revolution must give somebody pause—and if not humanists, who?
    • literature and politicsThe “Literature and Politics” project invites reviewers to consider how literary writers, writings and events elaborate the dynamics between political writing, the literary arts, and cultural intervention.

    March 2: Brian T. Edwards — Trump, Twitter, Circulation

    On March 2, Professor Brian T. Edwards of Northwestern University will give a talk titled Trump, Twitter, Circulation: American Politics as Global Entertainment.

    The global circulation of Donald Trump’s political rhetoric ruptured the divide between American popular culture and US politics. This marks the postscript to the “American century,” during which the attractiveness of American culture had positive political benefits for the US. In the age of Trump, the US political system itself became a horrible form of global entertainment.

    Professor Edwards will speak at the University of Pittsburgh at 5pm on March 2, 2017 in the Humanities Center (Cathedral of Learning 602). boundary 2 will also livestream the talk here.

  • Announcing Our Winter Issue: Econophonia: Music, Value, and Forms of Life

    Announcing Our Winter Issue: Econophonia: Music, Value, and Forms of Life

    b2_43_1_Cover_r3 - Option 1

    This issue theorizes what questions of value might contribute to our understanding of sound and music. Divesting sound and music from notions of intrinsic value, the contributors follow various avenues through which sound and music produce value in and as history, politics, ethics, epistemology, and ontology. As a result, the very question of what sound and music are—what constitutes them, as well as what they constitute—is at stake. Contributors examine the politics of music and crowds, the metaphysics of sensation, the ecological turn in music studies, and the political resistance inherent to sound; connect Karl Marx to black music and slave labor; look at Marx, the Marx Brothers, and fetishism; and explore the tension between the voice of the Worker who confronts Capital head-on and the voices of actual workers.

    Contributors include Amy Cimini, Bill Dietz, Jairo Moreno, Rosalind Morris, Ana María Ochoa Gautier, Ronald Radano, Gavin Steingo, Peter Szendy, Gary Tomlinson, and Naomi Waltham-Smith.

    See the introduction by Gavin Steingo and Jairo Moreno.
