Now that the entirely merited hullabaloo around Anne Carson winning the Nobel has simmered down, a reminder that “Totality: The Color of Eclipse,” published in Cabinet in 2003, remains her most unassailable essay—the indisputable zenith of a stellar career cabinetmagazine.org/issues/1…
In her soundscape for issue 70, Rosie Oliver layers extracts from “Webster’s Timeline History: Grumbling, 415 BC–2007” with grumbling-related audio: buzzing bees, somber organ music, and the menacing thwap-thwap of helicopter blades. Listen here: cabinetmagazine.org/issues/7…
We are pleased to share that Shahram Khosravi’s article “Defeat as Method” for issue 71 of Cabinet magazine has been translated into Arabic by "Al Janoub: The Palestinian Journal of Liberation Studies" for their sixth issue. @Babelwad_pal

NOW UNLOCKED! From our issue on gray literature, Sally O’Reilly’s essay examines “a literal peripheral”—wallpaper—by weaving together personal memory and the contextless scraps of information presented in “Webster’s Timeline History: Wallpaper, 1768–2007.” cabinetmagazine.org/issues/7…
Will Ozempic finish off the American buffet once and for all? In our latest Ingestion column, Thea Applebaum Licht remembers the rise of the “smorgy” and finds an unexpected parallel to its variety, temptation, and excess in the semaglutide era.

“Like other visitors to Freud’s working space, Engelman described feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of antiquities on display. ‘Wherever one looked, there was a glimpse into the past.’”

"These books have not passed through a human; they remain ignorant of culture and society." —Sally O'Reilly for @cabinetmagazine cabinetmagazine.org/issues/7…
Imagine being named John Smith. Now imagine being the avant-garde filmmaker of that name, maker of “The Girl Chewing Gum” and other gems. Now imagine being asked to write on “Webster’s Timeline History: John Smith, 1580–2007.”

In our latest issue, former New Zealand Poet Laureate David Eggleton visits the city of Bristol via antipodal Dunedin in a truly psycho geographical romp. “Let a medley of quotations serve to evoke this aura of sinister criminality clinging to … Bristol.”

Time to re-read Asef Bayat’s excellent immanent critique of Habermas’s 2023 statement on Gaza & how it betrayed the entirety of Habermas’s earlier writings on the “public sphere,” “rational dialogue” and “deliberative democracy”? “Enlightenment” for some..

"How can one think from within brokenness, from within the ruins, and still produce meaning, and even possibility?" Shahram Khosravi, the great anthropologist writes in @cabinetmagazine as American and Israeli bombs fall on Iran. cabinetmagazine.org/issues/7…
With bombs falling on Iran, Shahram Khosravi examines what it means for the defeated of the earth to face their serial losses with “an open face,” as counseled by his father. How can we understand defeat as critique’s ethical point of departure?
