The Shape of the Signifier
The Shape of the Signifieris a critique of recent theory--primarily literary but also cultural and political. Bringing together previously unconnected strands of Michaels's thought--from \"Against Theory\" toOur America--it anatomizes what's fundamentally at stake when we think of literature in terms of the experience of the reader rather than the intention of the author, and when we substitute the question of who people are for the question of what they believe.
With signature virtuosity, Michaels shows how the replacement of ideological difference (we believe different things) with identitarian difference (we speak different languages, we have different bodies and different histories) organizes the thinking of writers from Richard Rorty to Octavia Butler to Samuel Huntington to Kathy Acker. He then examines how this shift produces the narrative logic of texts ranging from Toni Morrison'sBelovedto Michael Hardt and Toni Negri'sEmpire. As with everything Michaels writes,The Shape of the Signifieris sure to leave controversy and debate in its wake.

Human and Nonhuman Intersections in Rosa Montero's Bruna Husky Novels
Rosa Montero's novels Tears in Rain (2011) and Weight of the Heart (2015) focus on Bruna Husky, a war android, who strives to survive until her expiration date and works as a private detective. Montero takes the reader on a journey from a futuristic Madrid to space colonies to investigate crimes that are related to human and nonhuman entities. This article explores those intersections of the human and nonhuman, analyzing the role of the other in the novels. My analysis focuses on how Montero continuously plays with the image of the other through metaphors that bond Bruna Husky with animals.

(Auto)biography and Authority: Dickens and Forster’s Reconstruction of a ‘National Treasure
This paper considers the reconstruction by John Forster of Charles Dickens’s childhood through his use of what is usually called ‘the autobiographical fragment’, a short text dealing with the Blacking Warehouse episode which bears witness to both Dickens’s strict auto-censorship and his tendency to frenetic confession. That a revelation of intimate details might endanger the ‘national treasure’ that Dickens had become at the end of the forties (the phrase is borrowed from Jean Ferguson Carr) seems a good enough reason for Dickens to have abandoned the idea of writing his autobiography and to have given the piece to Forster. This paper first shows how Forster dealt with the fragment, its blanks, omissions and almost impressionistic structure in short scenes before revealing in his biography that the draft could be found almost verbatim in David Copperfield. Further, when it comes to the fragment, Dickens’s complex managerial stratagem proves to be an integral element in the reconstruction of his childhood experience. The question of authority is of course central, Dickens’s apparent lack of interest in the future publication of his text seeming particularly out of character in the light of the control he most certainly exerted over his friends, and more specifically his future biographer.
