  • The Politics and Pitfalls of Policing High‐Volume Crime: Responding to the Shoplifting Epidemic

    Open AccessEmmeline Taylor, James Taylor et al.ARTICLEThe Political Quarterly2024

    It has been reported that shoplifting has reached ‘epidemic’ levels. Comparing police record crime data with industry estimates reveals that potentially just 2.4 per cent of thefts are reported to and recorded by the police. This is creating a large intelligence gap that emboldens thieves, enables organised criminal networks to go undetected, and makes it difficult for the police to prioritise retail crime and detect the most prolific and serious…

  • Essays in Postmodern Culture

    Jeffrey Williams, Eyal Amiran et al.ARTICLESouth Atlantic Review1997

    In an attempt to bridge the gap between theory and practice in postmodern studies, the essays that make up this volume illuminate some of the issues central to this provocative analytic approach. These works apply theory to practical subjects and, in the process, articulate new theoretical positions. Topics include the relations between food and the symbolic, AIDS and individuality, Marxist politics in the context of postmodernism, the consequenc…

  • Postface: Positions on Postmodernism

    Open AccessJohn Unsworth, Eyal AmiranARTICLEPostmodern Culture1991

    Postface: Positions on Postmodernism Eyal: Last year we expected that the essays we would publish—a good number of them anyway—would be affected by the electronic medium, but that has not happened much. Several of the essays do gain something from being in this medium—Ulmer’s or Moulthrop’s. In print they would lose at the very least the chance to exemplify some of their argument. But we have not seen too many essays that think the way they do or…

  • "An Echo of Baudelaire in "The Auroras of Autumn

    John UnsworthARTICLEAmerican Literature1988

    CANTO Vi of Wallace Stevens' of Autumn stands as one of most baffling sections of a difficult poem: whether we consider it by itself or in context of other cantos, it stubbornly refuses to resolve into coherence, formal or discursive. In fact, two readings to which I will refer both decide that this canto describes fall into (and flight from) a sublime abstraction. But a closer look at a poem by Baudelaire-one which Stevens knew, commented on, an…
