Curating Worlds
Museum Practices in Contemporary Literature
Emma Bond
“Curating Worlds proposes an exhilarating new way of understanding contemporary world literature by examining its dynamic relationships to material practices that orient readers within spatial and temporal trajectories. Dazzling in its originality and ambition, and written in engaging prose, the work comes off so successfully that the reader hardly recognizes the audacious novelty of the project.” —Rebecca Falkoff, University of Texas at Austin
Here Is a Figure
Grounding Literary Form
Sarah Dowling
“Here Is a Figure invites us to occupy grounding and grounded figures, lining itself up with the invitations to take the place of, to lie down and alongside of, to lie with which define Dowling’s fabulous archive. An engaging, accessible work of interdisciplinary criticism.” —Jennifer Doyle, author of Shadow of My Shadow
Radio Free Stein
Gertrude Stein’s Parlor Plays
Adam J. Frank
“With dazzling online recordings and scripts, Radio Free Stein takes readers backstage to reveal the inventive workshop process Adam Frank has used in productions of Gertrude Stein’s early voice plays.” —Linda Voris, American University
The Non-Modern Crisis of the Modern University
By Willy Thayer, translated by Bret Leraul
“Originally published in the wake of Chile’s brutal dictatorship and during the questionable transition to democracy, this deft translation of Thayer’s work for a new reading public is unexpectedly timely. The university is (again, still) in crisis, and we in the so-called Global North need to read and listen to our colleagues in the Global South.” —Erin Graff Zivin, author of Anarchaeologies: Reading as Misreading
