Current Volume: 37

Frequency: 3 issues annually

Academic Editors: Elizabeth Weed, Ellen Rooney, Denise Davis, and Elizabeth A. Wilson

In 1989, differences was born of the collision between continental theories of difference on the one hand and US politics of diversity on the other. Today, this collision remains crucial to the struggle against the effects of pervasive capitalist logics on critical thinking. In exploring the relationship between difference, as the structural fracturing of the modern subject, and differences, as a multiplicity of socio-political identities, the journal aims in all critical registers—from the aesthetic to the overtly political—to test the limits of legibility, whether that thinking is inside or outside the academy.
