Turning a historicist eye toward the novel’s portrayal of the sixties, we see that it dramatizes actual debates among the New Left between anarchist figures, such as Paul Goodman and Murray Bookchin, and emergent neo-Leninist factions such as the Weather Underground...

...—remains wary of the neo-Darwinian vogue, with its axiom, taken from entomologist Edward O. Wilson, that “the genes hold culture on a leash” (167). Barbara Herrnstein Smith’s recent discussions of human-animal rela­ tions, for example, are so trenchant in their attacks on the neo-Darwinist...

... arguments. The evidence is steadily marshalled across varying conceptual terrains—from narrative theory, textual explication, and “close reading” to neo-Darwinist theory in the context of sociobi­ ology and evolutionary psychology as well as aspects of philosophi­ cal and psychoanalytical debate...

... controversial neo- liberal economist Friedrich A. Hayek with William Burroughs (Chapter Three) and Kathy Acker (Chapter Four). Burroughs’s cut-ups operate in a peculiar way that for Clune most closely resembles the unpredictable energies of the pricing structure theorized by Hayek: “Hayek describes...

..., for example, examines Wells’s reception of Darwinism, neo-Lamarckism, and August Weismann’s germ-plasm theory. His close attention to the importance of non-Darwinian theories almost makes one feel that his explicit focus on Darwin limits some of the conclusions he draws. His study suggests...

..., the members of the “celebratory” (19) school are too uncritical in their praise of the hybridization of global culture, failing to acknowledge that, in an unequal world, change may come in the form of a homogenizing neo-imperial agenda carried out in cosmopolitanism’s name. The complaints leveled...

... solu­ tion,” a decisive break with, and purification from, the past, ushering in a genocidal utopia. Such use of the trope of pestilence is characteristic of Nazi and neo-Nazi discourse, some of whose roots lie in the eugenicist fan­ tasies of the last century. Starting with Jack London’s story...

Clifford’s Blues toys with a plethora of genres, including the neo-slave narrative, the Holocaust memoir, the epistolary novel, and the blues, to name a few, but this essay is careful not to celebrate its literary...

..., such status quo-ism is by no means universal among neo-Dar- winists, but its subtle persistence as a philosophical premise sprouts up un- expectedly even when it is expressly disavowed, causing logical stumbles for those who, however unwittingly, take it as a point of departure.9 Thus in a broadside...

... was itself torn between the related stylistic errors of an overgeneralizing grand theory and an “abstracted empiricism” limited to “epistemological problems of method” (74).
