2. The Uses of Postmodernism

   Jacob Edmond argues that while postmodernism might be useless as a theoretical concept or periodization, it nevertheless illuminates changes, both local and global, in the final decades of the twentieth century.

6. Recounting Signatures: A Review of James McFarland’s Constellation

   In reviewing James McFarland’s Constellation, Donald Cross reminds readers of the rich potential of scholarly discourse.
