Lot of 8 Diacritics: a review of contemporary criticism

"Founded in 1971, Diacritics publishes original work in and around critical theory, broadly conceived. Diacritics offers a forum for thinking about contradictions without resolutions; for following threads of contemporary criticism without embracing any particular school of thought.

Diacritics is concerned primarily with the problems of criticism. The editors have adopted no formal policy governing the choice of books to be reviewed or critical perspectives to be explored; they invite suggestions and contributions from all quarters. This pluralistic stance does not imply advocacy of critical eclecticism; diacritical discussion entails distinguishing the methodological and ideological issues which critics encounter and setting forth a critical position in relation to them. Review articles, which are the principal component of each issue, should both provide a serious account of the work(s) under consideration and allow the reviewers to respond by developing their own ideas or positions."
