This chapter reviews major recent publications focused on madness and neurodiversity. It is organized into four sections that explore the boundaries of mad studies and disability studies. The first section, ‘Is Mad Studies Disability Studies?’, provides a brief introduction to mad studies and asks whether it should be considered a branch of disability studies or a separate field. The second section, ‘Voices’, reviews a special issue of the Journal of Ethics in Mental Health edited by Jijian Voronka and Lucy Costa to overview how various mad studies scholars are contesting and expanding the boundaries of the field. Who is the ‘us’ of ‘nothing about us without us’? Whose voices are included, and is inclusion enough? The third section, ‘Literatures’, reviews the anthology Literatures of Madness: Disability Studies and Mental Health, edited by Elizabeth J. Donaldson, and the monograph Black Madness :: Mad Blackness by Therí Alyce Pickens, calling for deeper attention to racial difference in mad studies and suggesting that real inclusion should be transformational. The fourth section, ‘Rhetorics’, goes outside the boundaries of mad and disability studies to review Jordynn Jack’s Raveling the Brain: Toward a Transdisciplinary Neurorhetoric. The chapter calls for future scholarship that is not only transdisciplinary but also attentive to the enmeshment of mind and body, madness and disability. I argue that, while the two fields should not be collapsed, disability studies should dialogue with mad studies wherever possible, and vice versa.
本章回顾了最近关于疯狂和神经多样性的主要出版物。它被组织成四个部分，探索疯狂研究和残疾研究的界限。第一部分，“疯狂研究是残疾研究吗?”，简要介绍了疯狂研究，并询问它是否应该被视为残疾研究的一个分支或一个单独的领域。第二部分，“声音”，回顾了由Jijian Voronka和Lucy Costa编辑的《心理健康伦理学杂志》的特刊，概述了各种疯狂研究学者如何争夺和扩大该领域的边界。谁是“没有我们就没有我们”的“我们”?谁的声音被收录了，收录就足够了吗?第三部分，“文学”，回顾了Elizabeth J. Donaldson编辑的文集《疯癫文学:残疾研究和心理健康》，以及Therí Alyce Pickens的专著《黑色疯癫::疯狂的黑色》，呼吁对疯癫研究中的种族差异进行更深入的关注，并建议真正的包容应该是转型的。第四部分，“修辞学”，超越了疯狂和残疾研究的界限，回顾了乔丁·杰克的《解开大脑:走向跨学科的神经修辞学》。这一章呼吁未来的学术研究不仅要跨学科，而且要关注精神和身体，疯狂和残疾的结合。我认为，虽然这两个领域不应该崩溃，但残疾研究应该尽可能与疯狂研究对话，反之亦然。

This review considers work in the field of new materialisms, bearing in mind the wide range of approaches that make up the broader ‘material turn’ in critical and cultural theory but focusing in particular on the feminist new materialist conversation that draws on the work of Jane Bennett, Karen Barad, Samantha Frost, Rosi Braidotti, and others. It notes the new materialisms’ continued heterogeneity and describes a turn to method in the field, one that enables a vibrant dialogue between applied and theoretical scholarship. The pieces reviewed share an engagement with that trend. They also illustrate two important problems that the field has engaged with in 2019. The first question concerns the new materialisms’ politics of citation, and the need for a decolonial practice that engages with indigenous and non-western thought. The second is the question of a new materialist ontology: how to reconcile the tension between ‘flat’ and differentiated, subject-oriented accounts of agency, significance, and value. The new materialists this review follows seek a middle ground, one that allows them to emphasize the political stakes of human and more-than-human relations. Following the introduction, sections are: 1. New Materialist Practice, Feminist Ends; 2. Indigeneity and the New Materialisms; 3. Sensation in a Material World; 4. A Cartography of the New Materialisms; 5. Reading's Situation; 6. Exclusion and Activist New Materialism; and 7. The Things We Imagine.

This review of three introductory textbooks in the field of popular culture published in 2018 and 2019 focuses on the different perspectives they provide on such culture, as a means for understanding its current state and future evolution. It is divided into six sections: 1. Introduction; 2. Pop Culture, People, and Politics; 3. A Pastiche Approach to Cinema; 4. Pop Culture Theories; 5. Pop Culture and the Internet; 6. Conclusion. Pop culture is changing radically today, breaking away from the historical flow that gained momentum in then 1920s, because its delivery through the Internet may be fragmenting its organic textuality. As a distinct form of culture, pop culture crystallized primarily in the US in the first decades of the twentieth century, arguably as a way for young people to contest and openly violate the restrictive social traditions of colonial America through new music, fashions, and overall lifestyles. It spread rapidly and broadly throughout American cities and other areas of the urbanized world—a diffusion made possible by new technologies, such as radio and cinema. From the outset, trends in pop culture influenced aesthetic tastes, politics, and even major musical and literary movements that were once considered to be part of ‘high culture’, gradually obliterating binary distinctions such as high-versus-low in cultural matters. In a phrase, what started out as a lifestyle reaction against puritanical colonial culture became a major source of new aesthetics (new music, new writing, and so on), remaining so ever since. But pop culture may have run its course with the rise of meme culture on the Internet. The books under review here are thus quite significant, not only because they present complementary views of pop culture to a broad audience, but also because we can draw from them a picture of how pop culture is evolving in the digital age and what this might imply for the future of this century-old cultural experiment.

The year’s work in book/media theory witnessed a return to three fundamental questions about the ‘book’: 1. What Is a Book? 2. Who Is a Book? 3. Why Books? The first section of this chapter, ‘What Is a Book?’, presents a group of scholars who view the book as an object that continues to elude or deny the ways in which we have come to understand it. No other thinker makes this clearer than Jacques Derrida, whose high-theory approach to the ‘book’ was the focus of Juliet Fleming’s masterful Book Theory seminar at the Folger Shakespeare Library in November 2019. Taking a more literal approach to deconstructing the book, Book Parts, a multi-author volume edited by Dennis Duncan and Adam Smyth, breaks down the book into its anatomical components. The next section, ‘Who Is a Book?’, brings together scholars from various literary disciplines—John Durham Peters, Patricia Badir, and Jonathan Senchyne—who collectively demonstrate how the book is always more than just an object to read or handle; it teems with thought, life, minds, and bodies. The final section, ‘Why Books?’, explores the enduring purpose, meaning, and future of books in society. Leah Price’s public-facing work, What We Talk About When We Talk About Books, and Michaela Bronstein’s PMLA article on archiving in light of climate change, reckon with the truths about our own changing human condition that only thinking about books can lay bare.

Abstract This review of publications in the field of ecocriticism in 2019 comprises seven sections: 1. Introduction: Ecocriticism, Climate Change, and COVID-19; 2. Anthropocene Ecocriticism; 3. Affective Ecocriticism; 4. Postcolonial Ecocriticism; 5. Zoocriticism and Phytocriticism; 6. Ecocriticism and Ecomedia Studies; 7. Conclusion. The review focuses on six monographs, one edited book, and two journal issues. Ecocriticism publications in 2019 reflect an imperative to devise new means of signification in response to planetary concerns. The biospheric urgencies of the Anthropocene and its catastrophic imprint of climate change continue to draw ecocritical attention to issues of time, scale, embodiment, and affect. Attuned to the Anthropocene context, 2019 publications demonstrate sustained attention to posthumanist thinking, including more-than-human ontologies. More specifically, the year brought valuable additions to postcolonial ecocriticism, affective ecocriticism, and zoocriticism as well as strides in the theorization of ecophobia. New directions in phytocriticism, hydrocriticism, and sumbiocriticism (an ecocritical mode attentive to the manner in which a text engages ideas of symbiosis) evince the field’s ongoing diversification within the environmental humanities ambit. 2019 saw significant developments in ecopoetic studies as well as highly generative confluences between ecocriticism and ecomedia studies, two complementary fields regarded historically as separate domains. The extension of ecocritical methods to the literatures of Turkey, Pakistan, Cuba, and other non-anglophone contexts signifies the continuous evolution of the field beyond its provenance in British and American studies of nature writing.

The intersection between psychoanalysis and politics, with their shared investment in the dynamics of self–other relationships, emerged as a key concern in psychoanalytic thinking in 2019. This year’s review examines five texts which explore this intersection through a diverse range of approaches and is divided into five sections: 1. Introduction; 2. Contemporary Subjects: Psychoanalysis in 2019, which examines Julia Kristeva’s, Passions of Our Time; 3. Mourning Subjects: Politics and Psychoanalysis, which reviews Stephen Frosh, Those Who Come After: Postmemory, Acknowledgement and Forgiveness and Noëlle McAfee, Fear of Breakdown: Politics and Psychoanalysis alongside Conrad Chrzanowski’s article, ‘The Group’s Vulnerability to Disaster: Basic Assumptions and Work Group Mentalities Underlying Trump’s 2016 Election’; 4. Creative Subjects: Psychoanalysis and Visual Art, where I consider Patricia Townsend, Creative States of Mind: Psychoanalysis and the Artist’s Process, with Alberto Stefana’s article, ‘Revisiting Marion Milner’s Work on Creativity and Art’; and 5. Dis-membered Subjects: Psychoanalysis at the Margins, which explores Gabrielle Brown (ed.), Psychoanalytic Thinking on the Unhoused Mind.

The year 2018 was an especially fruitful and wide-ranging one for theater and performance studies. Several major monographs deepened discussion in established subject areas within the field, while new methodological approaches emerged, opening fresh directions in scholarship. This review focuses on four major areas of conversation that shaped the field in 2018: 1. Expanding Performance Aesthetics; 2. Economic and Material Contexts of Performance; 3. Enacting Public Justice; and 4. Performance on the Move.

In 2018, scholarship in book/media theory sketched the ways in which books embody time, shape our experience of time, and live in time. In particular, authors examine the book as a material object that resists being placed in a cohesive, progressive history (Whitney Trettien, Deidre Lynch, Michelle Sizemore, John Plotz), and that bends and textures linear temporality through the experience of reading (Christina Lupton). This review also discusses new theoretical discourses surrounding the material book, including new materialism (Jonathan Senchyne), the digital notion of ‘interactivity’ (The Multigraph Collective), and the concept of rarity (David McKitterick). Recurring through many of the works this year is a call to reconsider our definitions of the book and the archive, as scholars peer into the less well-known, cut-and-paste world of scrapbooks. This chapter is structured under the following headings: 1. The Time of Reading; 2. Books in Time; 3. Books in History; 4. Bookish Agencies.
