Issue 001 – “CAPTION THIS”

[caption] emerges from the collision of theory and spectacle. Annual, audacious, and gloriously hybrid, the journal stages encounters between scholarship and image-making—where Arbus’s restless gaze meets the ghosts of Benjamin, Mulvey, and Stuart Hall. We publish work that refuses to choose between seeing and thinking, between the archive and the avant-garde.

The recent Mandarin Chinese translation of The Canterbury Tales (Linking Publishing, 2025) by Dr. Francis K. H. So offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the growing presence, vitality, and diversity of Chaucerian studies outside the Anglophone world. This significant contribution not only opens new avenues for engaging with Geoffrey Chaucer’s language and narrative art, but also foregrounds the crucial role of translation, pedagogy, and local scholarly traditions in shaping how Chaucer is read, interpreted, and taught across different linguistic and cultural contexts.
