Jeffrey C. Issac in his appreciation of the Democratic left and the Democratic establishment: "The Democratic “new blood” does not need to become schooled, or rendered old before their time. They need to be embraced, listened to, argued with, and worked with. For, as Hannah Arendt understood, it is the new that gives life to politics and that makes possible what politics at its best can deliver. …

“Can the future stop being a fantasy of heterosexual reproduction?” I want to start with this question from Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity, a book by the late José Estebam Muñoz. For Muñoz, queerness is more than an identity-marker, it is “that thing that lets us feel that this world is not enough.” …

Public Seminar Review — Volume 1, Issue 2
Second Semester/Summer 2014

Public Seminar Review: Second Semester and Summer Issue

The second semester of the Public Seminar is over, and the papers are now in, presented in this our second issue. Here you find short and long essays, supplemented by visual presentations around five major themes: Capitalism and its Alternatives, Democracy and its Enemies, Identities, the Arts and Literature, and Media, Memory and Miscellaneous. Note, though, that the pieces in fact address each other between and among these categories, as they consider “fundamental problems of the human condition and pressing problems of the day, using the broad resources of social research,” staying true to the mission statement of Public Seminar, and to the scholarly and public project of our academic home, The New School for Social Research. -Jeffrey Goldfarb
