David Glover and Scott McCracken (editors)
This year marks twenty years of new formations, two decades over which the
journal has resolutely maintained its position that the spheres of culture,
theory and politics are always in dialogue. The issue contains the first
translation of Jean-Philippe Toussaint's work. It includes two articles
on photography, a photo-essay on Iranian exiles, and articles on Gieogio
Agamben, semiology and the history of humanitarianism.
