Reconstruction: 5.1

(I'm the new review editor for Reconstruction--so if anyone is interested in writing for us let me know. I'm looking for reviews of books, films, music and websites. The only requirement is that you make a strong statement for its cultural significance--whether positive or negative or somewhere in-between--leave a message in the comments if you are interested)

We are proud to announce the latest issue of Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture (vol.5, no.1) at Reconstruction ISSN:
1547- 4348. With this issue we introduce a "new look" thanks to the technical wizardry of Benjamin Lefebvre.

Included in this issue are:

Camelia Elias, "The Graveyard of Genre: David Markson's Postmodern
Epitaphs"

Philip Leonard, "Spivak after Marx after Derrida"

Simone Roberts, "Burn the Panopticon: Irigaray's Ethics, Difference, Poetics"

Jake Kennedy, "'But who is any longer interested in the possible?': Kathy Acker in Hell Failing Fuck You"

Anthony Lambert, "I Connect Therefore I Am: Connectivity and Networking in Bodies, Technologies, Communities, and Selves"

David Houston Jones, "The Body Eclectic: Viewing Bodily Modification in David Nebreda"

...as well as several new book reviews and review essays.
