Cultural Studies Review - 'Italian Effects': in print and online

Cultural Studies Review, 'Italian Effects', vol. 10, no. 2, September 2005.
The new issue of Cultural Studies Review features an outstanding 
collection of essays on the post-1968 Italian counter-cultural, 
militant and theoretical/philosophical cultural complex. These essays 
were brought to us from a conference organised across four Sydney 
universities in September 2004 where the key speakers were Italian 
'nomadic' cultural theorist and media activist Franco 'Bifo' Berardi 
and Ida Dominijanni, whose contributions we are delighted to be able 
to include in the issue. 'Italian Effects' necessarily looks to the 
roots of contemporary Italian thought in those mid-to-late twentieth 
century movements, but there is also a very contemporary effect 
evinced by the great interest in philosopher Giorgio Agamben, 
philosopher-activists Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt, and the way in 
which their thinking articulates with anti-globalisation movements. 
This issue also presents more brilliant reviews, and another two new 
writing pieces, Dominique Hecq's subtle reflections on new writing 
itself and Hamish Morgan's desert adventure, which should be the envy 
of any philosopher of time.

 From this issue Cultural Studies Review is available online. See our 
website for details: Cultural Studies Review

Currently edited by Stephen Muecke and Chris Healy, Cultural Studies 
Review is a cooperative venture between the University of Technology, 
Sydney, and the University of Melbourne. Specialist editors include 
Amanda Lohrey (New Writing) and Ruth Barcan (Reviews), and the 
journal is published and distributed in print and online by Melbourne 
University Publishing. Cultural Studies Review originally began in 
1995 as The UTS Review, when it was edited by Meaghan Morris and 
Stephen Muecke, and since its inception, the journal has carved out a 
strong reputation for publishing work that is "original, innovative 
and provocative". (Lawrence Grossberg)
