Hey Everyone,

We are new here. We are 141 days without a contract and mid bargaining with a management team who love stalling.

Hello Fediverse 🍇 We're a UK-based magazine of left philosophy and theory, self-published by editorial collectives since 1972.

We publish everyone from Judith Butler, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Antonio Negri, Étienne Balibar and Peter Sloterdijk to radicals, activists and intellectuals just at the start of their careers. Communist, socialist, feminist, queer, techno, art, ecological theorists...

We publish in print and online, currently three times a year. Our website contains our entire 50 year archive and there's no paywall. We'll post new issues with this account.

Look forward to meeting readers and writers, old and new, here on the Fediverse 💏

I have been holding off on an #introduction post here because I’ve been considering changing servers. But I guess I’ll do it here anyway. I am a historian and disaster scholar. The main themes of my posting are labor, disaster, urban affairs, and politics. I think a lot about the U.S. and Canada especially, with interest also in Japan. My pet peeve is when people call areas that drain to the Housatonic River the “Hudson Valley.”

OK, here's an introduction: I'm an English professor at Notre Dame, teaching and writing about US literature, popular music, sound in general, feminist/queer theory, and cultural history. My new book, POLITICAL DISAPPOINTMENT, will be published by Belknap/Harvard UP next May. My previous book, GIRLS TO THE FRONT, was and still is a history of the punk feminist movement Riot Grrrl. I find the relative quiet of this new site oddly comforting.

A while back I published this introductory reading guide to Marxist literary criticism. Feel free to share, adapt, add to, cut or denounce it in any way you like. I hope it's of use.

Part-time faculty are officially on strike at #TheNewSchool. Full-time faculty are stopping work in solidarity with our colleagues.

right now, many actions of higher ed labor ~
48,000 U California workers on strike
Yale grad workers about to vote to unionize after decades long fight
1500 academics at U Kansas organizing
workers at The New School about to strike

HELLO okay I am doing an #introduction / @litstudies post as I am now on zirk.us so please, uh, boost? The toot?

I'm a #professor (in Canada) of #literature (American) and I'm also a #poet (depressed). I just wrote a book on #poetry. I am writing a book *of* poems about why #thinking makes us #sad. I don't know how to read #novels except for #MobyDick and #SciFi. I also speak #Deutsch and am a huge fan of #theory, which means I am very #annoying.

Finally, I have a #cat named Beans. 🐱

New School part-time faculty to strike Wednesday if negotiations fail https://www.newschoolfreepress.com/2022/11/14/new-school-part-time-faculty-have-authorized-a-strike-everything-students-need-to-know/

Hello world! I'm Richard, and I'm an academic. I'm in the sociology dept at the University of Alberta.

My work spans social and political theory and philosophy. I primarily work on Georg Lukács and the Frankfurt School, reading them through the lens of Husserlian phenomenology. I'd especially like to connect with anyone with similar or related interests, but am happy to have conversations with anyone.

Outside work, I do yoga, climbing, and ikebana, and am addicted to my Criterion subscription

#introduction

I’m Zach SW. I teach #americanStudies, #laborhistory, #RacialCapitalism, and #abolitionistuniversitystudies in upstate New York. I’m very slowly working on turning my dissertation about the history of #strikes by food service, maintenance, and custodial workers at Yale in the 1960s and 1970s into a book, and I’m also working on abolitionist university studies with three co-conspirators who are not, AFAIK, currently on this platform. I also post about #birds and #birding.
