Word crimes: Choosing rationality over a moral panic
With some distance from the first flood of responses to the Word Crimes special issue, it should be possible to combine debates over the strengths and weaknesses of the individual essays with analysis of what difference the collection as a whole can make in our understanding of the anti-Zionist vocabulary that has dominated a significant body of humanities and social science discourse. In actual practice, terms like ‘apartheid,’ ‘human rights,’ a…
Manifesto of a Tenured Radical
In an age when innovative scholarly work is at an all-time high, the academy itself is being rocked by structural change. Funding is plummeting. Tenure increasingly seems a prospect for only the elite few. Ph.D.'s are going begging for even adjunct work. Into this tumult steps Cary Nelson, with a no- holds-barred account of recent developments in higher education. Eloquent and witty, Manifesto of a Tenured Radical urges academics to apply the the…
Israel Denial: Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism, & the Faculty Campaign Against the Jewish State
The Presbyterian Church and Zionism Unsettled: Its Antecedents, and Its Antisemitic Legacy
The new millennium has seen increased hostility to Israel among many progressive constituencies, including several mainline Protestant churches. The evangelical community in the US remains steadfastly Zionist, so overall support for financial aid to Israel remain secure. But the cultural impact of accusations that Israel is a settler colonialist or apartheid regime are nonetheless serious; they are proving sufficient to make support for the Jewis…

Academic Freedom in Palestinian Universities
Debates about the status of academic freedom in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank have for years focused almost exclusively on claims about the negative impact particular Israeli government and Israeli Defense Force (IDF) policies and practices have had on Palestinian students and faculty. Largely ignored, especially as the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement levels accusations against Israel and promotes boycott and divestment resolu…
The Fate of Academic Freedom
Following a concise definition of academic freedom and a rejoinder to current conservative efforts to limit it by David Horowitz, the National Association of Scholars, and Stanley Fish, "The Fate of Academic Freedom" describes sixteen specific conditions emerging as major threats to the concept and the practice: (1) instrumentalization, (2) contingency, (3) authoritarian administration, (4) abuses of the national security state, (5) administratio…

The Resources of Failure: W. S. Merwin's Deconstructive Career
Perhaps, as Merwin suggests in this little hieratic meditation, the very words most central to our selfhood must remain unspoken. Yet any reader of Merwin's recent poetry with its insistent, recurring vocabulary will suspect that this poet thinks he knows what those words are. At the least, Merwin clearly feels that certain words and images give witness to what cannot be said. These words have gradually become the core of his poetic language; the…

LLEN MESSER-DAVIDOW'S The Philosophical Bases of Feminist Literary Criticisms is one of a number of overviews and syntheses of feminist scholarship that have appeared in recent years.' This development no doubt reflects the fact that feminist theory has now established a very broad base and a remarkable record of accomplishments in a number of academic disciplines, including literature and history; thus it is now possible to generalize not only a…
