Counter-Heroics


Hurrah – the Counter-Heroics and Counter-Professionalism in Cultural Studies Special Issue of Continuum, which grew out of the ‘Fields of Uncool’ panel at the CSAA conference way back in 2004, is now out!

Thanks so much to Mel, Kris, Jane and Will for one of the most energising and productive collaborations I’ve been involved with so far. More at Mel’s blog.

This couldn’t have come at a better time. As I continue ‘writing up’, which for a good part of each day feels like dragging a pig through mud, while simultaneously herding cats and carrying a heavy basket into which I have put all the eggs, it’s good to see that ‘forthcoming’ things turn into real ones eventually.

    ahahahahah! and here i thought it was like being nailed to a cross and being told to sing ‘always look on the bright side of life’!

  2. Hmmm…perhaps I’m on an allegorical quest, while you’re on a (musical) crusade?

    But singing Monty Python songs can never be bad, surely.

  3. yes, it’s nice to see it in print finally. PS I’m also pleased to see you’ve been released from Spam Karma purgatory!
