[ecrea] New Issue of NANO: New American Notes Online--Corporations and Culture (Issue 8)

Mon Dec 21 23:30:32 GMT 2015






The guest editors Jeffrey Gonzalez and Adam Haley together with the

Devers) are proud to announce the official publication of /NANO/ Issue
8: Corporations and Culture.

 From the introduction:

        The aim of this issue was to collect thoughtful, incisive
        visions of the corporation that eschewed kneejerk skepticism
        about the corporation’s inevitable hegemony, visions that,
        instead, embraced the difficult necessity of taking the
        corporation’s legal and cultural entrenchment seriously. Rather
        than conceiving of the corporation as above and apart from the
        habits, imaginings, and possibilities of culture, we hope for
        this issue to carve out a sense of the corporation as itself a
        cultural phenomenon—not merely a trope, an object of critique,
        or a constraining factor, but a multifaceted set of logics and
        articulations inseparable from the cultural landscape. The
        interviews and essays that emerge in this issue open new
        possibilities for thinking about the limited-liability,
        for-profit corporation and its interaction with, coproduction
        of, and participation in American culture. Collectively, these
        conversations probe the myriad ways the “and” in our title might
        work: within that binding conjunction, one might think of
        culture as simultaneously resisting or subverting corporations
        while also being underwritten and, to some extent, dictated by
        them. In considering how elements of a culture dependent upon
        corporations respond to those corporations, we hope to locate
        new and compelling ways for thinking about that interaction.
