“Lusting after Relevance”: The Allegorical Import of the African American Novel
Observing that Ishmael Reed's 1972 novel Mumbo Jumbo both oscillates between present- and past-tense narration and traffics in historical anachronism, this article argues that these dual modes of temporal disjunction establish the novel as a work of historical allegory whose 1920s-era story registers as actually being about the post–civil rights period in which the novel was published. The essay goes on to suggest that such an allegorical functio…
Theory
Considering the intersections of theory, culture, and ideology in Social Text, this essay suggests that for all its interest in theory, the journal has never had a theory of theory, except for the proposition that insofar as theory explains practice it must derive from the latter. However, this proposition has never been definitively realized because at no point has everyone involved been able to agree on what constitutes practice: as the means o…

Framing the Margins: The Social Logic of Postmodern Culture
This dramatic rereading of postmodernism seeks to broaden current theoretical conceptions of the movement as both a social-philosophical condition and a literary and cultural phenomenon. Phil Harper contends that the fragmentation considered to be characteristic of the postmodern age can in fact be traced to the status of marginalized groups in the United States since long before the contemporary era. This status is reflected in the work of Ameri…
