New York Nouveau | Stanford University Press Postwar French writers were at the vanguard of global literary innovation—from the experimental minimalism of the Nouveau Roman to the literary games of the OuLiPo—but less often appreciated is the ex...

Post45 keeps crushing it. Sara Kippur gets *into it*. I may be drawn to the chapter on the French avant-garde on US tv, but the work is sharp throughout.

Your periodic reminder that I am now co-editing the Peer Reviewed side of our journal. Send us your best stuff.

Comics folks should definitely go read “Metamorphoses of the Spiral: Comics and Modernism in Art Spiegelman’s Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!” by @emmywaldman.bsky.social over at @post45.bsky.social. What a great piece!

Scared to ask, but who wore it better? @post45.bsky.social

It’s been a dream working with @anniemcc.bsky.social, editor-scholar-mentor extraordinaire & developing this prize issue was the highlight of co-editing @post45.bsky.social together 🥹

REALLY GOOD ARTICLES

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

ACH is collecting information about impacts on research. If your National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) or Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) work has been impacted, or if you anticipate future impacts, let us know.

The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) is collecting info about impacts of DH funding cuts at the NEH & IMLS: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This is just to say friends, if you have a space or platform to talk about NEH, IMLS, and other such agency cuts, my job is subject to them and as of yet I have no gag order

You guys really don't need the update on this but it's pretty much the hellscape comedy of errors you might suspect. They emailed today to say they are "looking forward to the talk" and only needed me to take the words "race" "activism" "justice" and "gender" out of the title. Lol. Lmao even.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt.

Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

2/2 and look out for these next three titles, and more to come in 2025! Francisco Robles, Myka Tucker-Abramson, and Sara Kippur. It has been an amazing time to read books in this series, which I co-edit with Loren Glass.

1/2: I won’t be at MLA this year for the first time in years, but if you are, I hope you’ll check out the Post*45 books at the Stanford UP booth! We had three great titles come out in 2024, by Adrienne Brown, Adam Kelly, and Shane Boyle.

Trump says he's wants to privatize USPS because it's "unprofitable".

Reminder that the Post Office isn't a for-profit enterprise: it's a public service that guarantees everyone in America reliable, affordable, and universal mail service.

Forgive me, faculty, for the peer review requests you are about to receive

Happy Caturday!

Alt text for William Cheng photo: smiling man with short dark hair, white button-up shirt with rolled-up sleeves, hands resting on knees with fingers interlaced. Alt text for Sunaura Taylor photo: a white woman with short brown hair, smiling and looking into the camera. Behind her is a large black-and-white photograph mounted on a wall, with a dark background upon which many white lines flare out. Poster text: The Digital Accessible Futures Lab invites you to attend a roundtable conversation with William Cheng and Sunaura Taylor on disability and publishing, publishing as a disabled author, and publishing in/beyond disability studies. In a climate of scarcity and uncertainty, how might one respond to hyper-normative demands for productivity? What does it mean to write (and publish) as a disabled scholar? What does it mean to compose while crip/mad/sick—especially when our embodied knowledges are deemed antithetical to (academic) life?
