The fuse is alight!

antiTHESIS, a postgraduate journal of the humanities based in the 
Department of English with Cultural Studies at the University of 
Melbourne, is proud to announce the imminent release of volume 14 - 
fuse.

This edition examines dynamic processes in literature, culture, 
theory and aesthetics. The concept of fusion juggles seemingly 
contradictory possibilities of coalescence and explosion. Our 
contributors also play with ideas of infusion, defusion and confusion.

But antiTHESIS is also about transfusion. This year, we've injected 
antiTHESIS  with 'new blood', engaging in dialogic fusions between 
younger and established thinkers. Slip between our covers and you'll 
find polemics and poetics, reviews and revelations, images and 
ideologies:
