    POETRY FROM SPACESHIP EARTH
    SAMIA RAHIMTOOLA
    In the early decades of the postwar period, the planetary metaphor of “spaceship Earth” was everywhere in the West.

At its heart was a new ideology and infrastructure of managing, ad...

    MICHAEL BLOUIN
    The Political Poe examines the collective works of Edgar Allan Poe through a political lens. While others have gestured toward Poe’s gloomy conservatism, Michael J. Blouin argues that Poe’s reaction against Jacksonian America—with its drift into populism, demagoguery, and what Poe felt was an unhinged politicization of everyday life—mirror the concerns of contemporary American ...

    JAMES AL-SHAMMA / AMIR AL-AZRAKI
    From its inception in the northern city of Mosul in the late nineteenth century, Iraqi theatre leaned toward the utopian.
