Featuring new interviews with "Social Text"'s founders and former editors--including Stanley Aronowitz, John Brenkman, Fredric Jameson, Randy Martin, Toby Miller, Bruce Robbins, Andrew Ross, Sohnya Sayres, and Anders Stephanson--the issue reflects on the journal's legacy as a radical publication that has bridged politics and the academy and has made critical interventions in both arenas. Several contributors revisit the first issue of the journal and describe its lasting impact. Others examine the politics of production at "Social Text" and detail the hands-on process of putting the journal together. Notably, the issue also features thirty essays by members of the current editorial collective, on key topics that have been crucial to the journal. Ranging from aesthetics to war, and including empire, mass culture, revolution, science, and theory, these essays bring to life the cultural history of the journal and demonstrate how "Social Text" has shaped the way that these terms are conceptualized and used today.
"Contributors." The forty-four contributors include the current members of the "Social Text" collective and a number of former members. For a complete list of the collective, visit socialtextonline.org.
