Journal introduction:


Founded in 1971 at Cornell University by David Grossvogel, Diacritics-A Review of Contemporary Criticism is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal published by Johns Hopkins University Press. It was one of the first academic journals to introduce continental theory to the United States, publishing translations of works by Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and other prominent thinkers, as well as articles by Paul de Man, Gayatri Spivak, and Edward Said. The journal focuses on original work in and around critical theory, offering a forum for exploring contradictions and contemporary criticism without adhering to any particular school of thought. It emphasizes eclecticism in the humanities, nurturing transhistorical, creative, and rigorous research, and regularly publishes lengthy review essays—its hallmark since its early days—along with special issues on timely topics. It covers diverse fields including gender studies, political theory, psychoanalysis, queer theory, and literary criticism, maintaining high scholarly standards through double anonymous peer review.
