Angelaki

期刊简介：Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities was established in September 1993 to provide an international forum for vanguard work in the theoretical humanities. In itself a contentious category, ’theoretical humanities’ represents the productive nexus of work in the disciplinary fields of literary criticism and theory, philosophy, and cultural studies. The journal is dedicated to the refreshing of intellectual coordinates, and to the challenging and vivifying process of re-thinking. Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities encourages a critical engagement with theory in terms of disciplinary development and intellectual and political usefulness, the inquiry into and articulation of culture, and the complex determination of change and its relation to history. The journal is committed to fostering the theory of minor movements, recognising their significant impact on and dynamic relation to the development of cultures, political spaces and academic disciplines, and emphasising their formative power rather than their oppositional entrenchment. The journal promotes inquiry into questions of existential and political definition and agency, on the personal, collective and institutional levels, and encourages the work of spirited and experimental theoretical writing in all areas of value production. Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities publishes six issues per volume/year: four themed (Special) issues and two non-themed (General) issues. Articles for consideration for General issues are accepted throughout the year. The name of the journal and a little history " Angelaki ", pronounced with a hard 'g' and with 'ki' pronounced 'kee', is a Greek word meaning "little angel". " Angelos " in Greek means "messenger, envoy, one that announces". The logo of the journal is a cherub; the cherubim being the order of angels associated with knowledge. Angelaki arose out of a Gilles Deleuze reading and discussion group, conducted at Oxford University at the beginning of the 1990s. Members of the discussion group, who were at the time largely postgraduate students of the University, formed the original editorial board. A number of founding editors remain involved with the journal. For five years the journal was entirely independent, selling by mail and through bookshops in the UK, Europe and the USA. Independence proved unsustainable, and in 1998 Angelaki signed with its current publisher. One of the strengths of the journal has always been its book-length special issues, currently in the region of 90,000 words (a substantial double issue by ordinary standards). The collections are, in the great majority of cases, also sold as hardback books for library purchase. Peer Review Policy: All research articles published in General Issues of the journal have undergone peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees. Articles published in Special Issues of the journal are normally on invitation. Where a call for papers is issued for Special Issues, submissions passed for review by the Issue Editor are subject to the same review process as submissions to General Issues. "Each issue of Angelaki arrives like a scouting report from the edge of the known world, the one trembling right now under our feet. Fearless and inventive, this journal has reset the agenda for the theoretical humanities. Long may it thrive." Peggy Kamuf, University of Southern California, USA "[L]ively, sharp, imaginative... It aims to break down the division between academic and non-academic writers and readers with the belief that theoretical questions should carry a political force and not be confined to university institutions and the publishing game. And it is dedicated to an interdisciplinary agenda... [I]ssues adventurously address topics and disciplines not normally covered by mainstream theoretical discussions... This is a great magazine." Jennifer Wallace, Peterhouse, Cambridge University in The Times Higher Education Supplement " Angelaki has established itself as a leading forum of theoretical reflection, providing a practical refutation of all those who would celebrate "the end of theory." Whether it is focused on thematic issues of the most varied nature, introducing thinkers to English-language readers, or treating a variety of problems in ‘open’ issues, Angelaki challenges the complacency of the self-evident. Required reading for the next millennium." Samuel Weber, University of California at Los Angeles " Angelaki has quickly established a space in which theoretical work that aims to acknowledge the boundaries between disciplines by questioning them can flourish. The conversations it enables have been energetic, unpredictable and genuinely productive." Stephen Mulhall, New College, Oxford University "…an indispensable part of my library, publishing some of the best new work and signalling some of the most important new directions in cultural studies." Lawrence Grossberg, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "…consistently provides innovative and stimulating insights on an exciting array of current critical issues. In an era of diminishing expectations, Angelaki gives new hope for creative, collaborative research." Charles J. Stivale, Wayne State University "…the most innovative and exciting new journal in the field of literary and cultural theory to have emerged from Britain in recent years…provoking, attuned to the moment and at the same time surprising." Nicholas Royle, University of Stirling ‘A strong and surprising publication that is interested in a wide range of cultural studies issues from harder-theory perspectives…’ ‘ Angelaki’s position papers and substantial essays, addressing current concerns in cultural theory zero in on interesting and problematical topics and fields, with results that are resourceful, rigorous, and lively...’ ‘I put Angelaki at the top because I find it refreshingly alive, buzzing with critical energy.’" From the CELJ Awards transcript "Refreshing and truly thought-provoking; worthy of all but the smallest college libraries" Library Journal "Good to think with…generates an agreeable vitality and iconoclasm…full of promise" The Times Higher Education Supplement "Winner, ’Best New Journal’ award, Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ), 1996..."A strong and surprising publication that is interested in a wide range of cultural studies issues from harder-theory perspectives…" " Angelaki’s position papers and substantial essays, addressing current concerns in cultural theory zero in on interesting and problematical topics and fields, with results that are resourceful, rigorous, and lively..." "I put Angelaki at the top because I find it refreshingly alive, buzzing with critical energy."

【译文】Angelaki：理论人文杂志成立于1993年9月，旨在为理论人文学科的先锋工作提供一个国际论坛。 “理论人文学科”本身是一个有争议的类别，它代表了文学批评和理论、哲学和文化研究等学科领域的富有成效的联系。该杂志致力于刷新智力坐标，以及充满挑战和活力的重新思考过程。 Angelaki：理论人文杂志鼓励在学科发展、知识和政治实用性、对文化的探究和阐明、以及变化的复杂决定及其与历史的关系方面对理论进行批判性的参与。该杂志致力于培育小规模运动理论，认识到它们对文化、政治空间和学科发展的重大影响和动态关系，并强调它们的形成力量而不是其对立的根深蒂固。该杂志促进对个人、集体和机构层面的存在和政治定义和代理问题的探究，并鼓励在价值生产的所有领域进行充满活力和实验性的理论写作。 Angelaki：理论人文杂志每年每卷出版六期：四期主题（特别）和两期非主题（一般）。全年接受一般问题审议的文章。期刊名称和小历史“Angelaki”，发音为硬音“g”，“ki”发音为“kee”，是一个希腊词，意思是“小天使”。 “Angelos”在希腊语中的意思是“使者、特使、宣布的人”。该杂志的标志是一个小天使；基路伯是与知识相关的天使秩序。 Angelaki 源于 20 世纪 90 年代初在牛津大学举办的 Gilles Deleuze 阅读和讨论小组。最初的编辑委员会由当时的讨论小组成员主要是该大学的研究生组成。许多创始编辑仍然参与该杂志的工作。五年来，该杂志完全独立，通过邮寄以及通过英国、欧洲和美国的书店销售。事实证明，独立是不可持续的，1998 年，Angelaki 与其当前的出版商签约。该期刊的优势之一始终是其特刊的长度，目前字数约为 90,000 字（按照普通标准，这是相当大的双期）。在大多数情况下，这些藏品还作为精装书出售，供图书馆购买。同行评审政策：在该期刊的一般问题上发表的所有研究文章都经过同行评审，基于初步编辑筛选和至少两名匿名审稿人的匿名审稿。在期刊特刊上发表的文章通常是应邀发表的。如果特刊征集论文，则通过特刊编辑审核的投稿将受到与一般期刊投稿相同的审核流程。 “每一期《Angelaki》就像一份来自已知世界边缘的侦察报告，这份报告现在在我们脚下颤抖。这本杂志无所畏惧，富有创造力，重新设定了理论人文学科的议程。祝它蓬勃发展。” Peggy Kamuf，美国南加州大学“活泼、敏锐、富有想象力……它旨在打破学术和非学术作家和读者之间的分歧，相信理论问题应该具有政治力量，而不仅仅局限于大学机构和出版游戏。它致力于跨学科议程……大胆地解决主流理论讨论通常不涵盖的主题和学科……这是一本很棒的杂志。”詹妮弗·华莱士（Jennifer Wallace），彼得豪斯，剑桥大学，在《泰晤士报高等教育增刊》中“Angelaki 已将自己确立为理论反思的领先论坛，为所有那些庆祝“理论终结”的人提供了实际的反驳。无论是关注最多样化的主题问题，向英语读者介绍思想家，还是在‘开放’问题中处理各种问题，Angelaki 都挑战了不言而喻的自满情绪。下一个千年的必读书目。”塞缪尔·韦伯，加利福尼亚大学
