Volume 3, Number 1
Essays by emerging voices in comparative literature and theory that consider how the next generation of critics (who grew up in the ‘70s and went to graduate school in the ‘80s) receive paradigms that originated in the generational experiences of the 1960s. If interpretation both reflects and shapes its particular cultural moment, and if the next generation faces an entirely different social, political, and professional scene, should it not then follow that this generation’s theoretical orientation also be significantly different?
