Diesis: Footnotes on Literary Identities

The guest column for this issue should provide a general discussion of one or more of this issue's themes as they present themselves in literature and/or history.

Volume 2, Issue 2: Revolutions & Reversals

We are currently experiencing a worldwide rejection of corruption in government: widespread revolution in the Middle East, the tea party, the occupy movement. We would like for this issue to speak to these shifting attitudes in the way we approach and think about authority and social structures. We particularly encourage literary criticism that takes up as one of its primary goals the examination of the following in literature: authority, politics, government, familial structure, utopia, dystopia, gender, social norms, etc.
