Trauma, de Lucy Bond e Stef Craps
No full textEn The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century 1914-1991 (1995), el historiador inglés Eric Hobsbawm caracterizó el siglo XX por la cantidad única de catástrofes humanas, como la Revolución Rusa de 1917, las dos grandes guerras, las crisis económicas y el genocidio sistemático, evidenciando la relevancia de comprender los diferentes tipos de traumas desencadenados por este contexto.

Escrito por profesores de los departamentos de literatura inglesa, Lucy Bond de la Universidad de Westminster en el Reino Unido y Stef Craps, de la Universidad de Gante en Bélgica, el volumen forma parte de una serie de publicaciones tituladas The New Critical Idiom, cuyo objetivo es dilucidar términos cruciales para los estudios de teoría literaria de una manera introductoria.In The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century 1914-1991 (1995), the English historian Eric Hobsbawm characterized the twentieth century by the unique amount of human catastrophes, such as the Russian Revolution of 1917, the two great wars, economic crises and systematic genocide, evidencing the relevance of understanding the different types of traumas triggered by this context.

McSweeney\u27s and the Challenges of the Marketplace for Independent Publishing
Full text linkIn their article McSweeney\u27s and the Challenges of the Marketplace for Independent Publishing Katrien Bollen, Stef Craps, and Pieter Vermeulen argue that the artistic projects of the US-American author, activist, and editor Dave Eggers are marked by a tension between the desire for independence and the demands of brand-building. The article offers a close analysis of the materiality and paratexts of one particular issue of McSweeney\u27s, the literary magazine of which Eggers is the founding editor. Both the content and the apologetically aggressive tone of Eggers\u27s editorial statements betray a deep unease with the inability to inhabit a cultural and economic position that is untainted by the compromises that publishing requires. Still, this disavowed complicity with the market in fact sustains Eggers\u27s editorial practice in McSweeney\u27s, which, in marked contrast to his explicit statements, thrives on a dynamic of commodification
