62: Zidane's Melancholy

David Glover and Scott McCracken (editors)

Editorial

 new formations 62 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.

Contributors: Timothy Bewes, Peter Buse, Paul Cobley, David Macey, Thangam Ravindranathan, Gillian Rose, Mitra Tabrizian, Bertrand Taithe, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, Simon Morgan Wortham, Maisaa Youssef
