The Catachronism of Climate Change
This essay analyzes how climate change criticism revises nuclear criticism. While nuclear criticism is deployed to ward off nuclear apocalypticism, climate change criticism comes into being at a moment when scientists interpret past and present actions as leading to an irreversible outcome. The concept of the Anthropocene shifts criticism's focus from being a social science of interactive life to becoming a natural science of species death. As a …

The Character of the University
This essay argues that the university ought to encourage the flourishing of multiple languages and metalanguages. Opposing recent Habermasian universalism and Victorianist virtue talk (e.g., Amanda Anderson's The Way We Argue Now), it queries why critics turn to character as a trope for stability, sincerity, and competence while in full flight from the supposed poststructuralist evils of undecidability, authenticity, and performance. However, thi…
Defoe, commerce, and empire
“A True-Bred Merchant is a Universal Scholar; his Learning Excells the meer Scholar in Greek and Latin as much as that does the Illiterate Person, that cannot Write or Read: He Understands Language, without Books, Geography without Maps, his Journals and Trading-Voyages delineate the World, his Foreign Exchanges, Protests and Procurations, speak all Tongues; he sits in his Counting-House, and Converses with all Nations, and keeps up the most exqu…
The Cambridge Companion to Daniel Defoe
Daniel Defoe had an eventful and adventurous life as a merchant, politician, spy and literary hack. He is one of the eighteenth century's most lively, innovative and important authors, famous not only for his novels, including Robinson Crusoe, Moll Flanders, and Roxana, but for his extensive work in journalism, political polemic and conduct guides, and for his pioneering 'Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain'. This volume surveys the wi…

East Indies and West Indies: Comparative Misapprehensions
This paper discusses how the comparison of the East Indies and the West Indies has generated misapprehensions over several centuries. The stakes involved in comparing these two distinct areas may become clearer when examining their joint imperial legacies, even though our knowledge thereby gained can never be entirely accurate. Comparative studies of vastly different areas need to focus on temporality as well as on a dominant logic of spatiality.…
