    Mapping American Modernism

    Image credit: “George Bellows, ‘New York,’ 1911, National Gallery of Art, Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon.” Editing the Cambridge History of American Modernism was a daunting task. There were some imperious predecessors: Walter Kalaidjian’s Cambridge Companion to American Modernism from 2005; and Vince Sherry’s Cambridge History of Modernism (2016).

    Chaucer’s Early Modern Readers

In our own cultural moment, people often draw a contrast between printed books you can leaf through, dog-ear, or scrawl in, and their newer digital versions, including audiobooks, ebooks, and e-readers.

    We Need to Change the God Debate

    Towards A New Understanding Of Atheism No worldview has grown faster since the early 20th century than atheism. Exact numbers are hard to give, but probably some 5-10% of the world’s population is now convinced that there is no God.

    Enigmatic science played out in the fault lines of settler-colonial power

    In recent years, the pandemic brought into relief the tensions that arise from the many and varied ways that people make sense of the natural world and its relationship to bodies. Masking.
