A Note from the Editors

As a journal of theory and criticism of contemporary cultures, Postmodern Culture has published fiction rarely, in moments when we have sought to recognize creative interventions into conceptual discourse. In the early 1990s, PMC published postmodern fiction by Kathy Acker, Robert Coover, and William T. Vollmann, among others. Issues of PMC have featured poetry by Charles Bernstein, Cory Brown, Judith Goldman, and K. Lorraine Graham, visual texts by Chantal Peñalosa and Jose-Luis Moctezuma, experimental engagements with collaborative hypertext and LANGUAGE poetry, and music by Rory Ferreira. This issue includes a special section, curated by Malka Older, that extends our interest in and support of such creative work: global speculative fictions that rethink culture and futurity.
