Announcement: Issue 9: Intoxication - just published by NANO: New
American Notes Online

Dear CRTNET Readers,

(Apologies for cross-posting)

NANO: New American Notes Online, [www.nanocrit.com] a peer-reviewed
interdisciplinary humanities journal, published by City Tech-CUNY, has
officially published Issue 9: Intoxication. This special issue is the
result of a collaboration between guest editors Ingrid Walker
(University of Washington, Tacoma) and Alexine Fleck (Community College
of Philadelphia), the seven article authors, and NANO's editorial team:
Sean Scanlan, Ruth Garcia, and Rebecca Devers.

This special issue of NANO asks whether intoxication is a zone of
defiance or expanded consciousness or narcotized stupor, or perhaps some
combination of these. The guest editors remark that this issue "seek[s]
to reconceptualize intoxication through a series of multidisciplinary
analyses. The analyses included here explore the possibilities of
understanding intoxication as an intentional performance and a
transgression of cultural norms. By reflecting on what intoxication can
offer to the user and/or what it might provide as a lens to scholars,
these pieces open up a very different dialogue about this relatively
unexamined state of being."
