Whiskey & Fox at Amazon

Animals at Amazon

Although, feel free to buy from createspace as well (see below), which is better for our meager finances.

perfectbound politics with animals!

Vol. 4 No. 1 is now available in a fancy format.  A fancy format for a fancy fox. The  schnazzy gloss cover features a very respectable looking fox nosing around the camp of an archaeologist in Alaska.  No kidding. 

For now, it's available for purchase here. And will be available within 10 or so days from Amazon.  Check back here for that link, which we'll post as soon as it's available.

It has been a long hibernation, more than a year, since anyone has heard any dispatch from Whiskey & Fox. It just took a long time to get the new format, the new editorial collective, and the whole new phase in the life of the journal, all up and running.

But, as of today, the hibernation is over. The fox is up and about. Below, are, as we have promised, two PDF's for free distribution: first, the 'electronic' copy, a PDF of individual pages suitable for reading on one's computer screen or printing as you wish--especially if you must print one-sided; second, a BOOKLET printing copy, in a file already set up for booklet-printing if you, like us, are committed to the remaining possibilities of a book or book-like object. Simply print double-sided, with pages oriented for 'short edge' binding, and then fold the whole thing in half into a book (staple, if you wish).

Perfect-bound books coming soon:

¶

The thing is, that since this issue weighs in at almost 40 pages, we thought it might be nice for Whiskey & Fox to be available in yet another format--one a little bit more durable, and fancy. So this issue is going to be, very soon, available for purchase as a perfect-bound book through Amazon. The book is print-on-demand, and promises to look pretty nice. Check back here soon if you love the book-object. We'll announce it as soon as they are available.

Future foxes

This issue's title as a call for work garnered a whole pile of submissions. Thanks to all who have sought fit to send us work. Keep checking back here, now that things are up and running, for more consistent updates. The fox is awake, and hopefully within the month we'll have info on the title of and calls for work for at least the next issue--which we'd like to see out by end of spring/summer depending on how the work goes.

Vol. 4 no. 1:

A Preface from the editors, and work (in order of appearance) from Robin Clarke, Jeff T. Johnson, Ross Gay, Gary Lehmann, Claire Donato, Rebecca Mertz, Nicola Masciandaro, Eileen A. Joy, Chris Miller, and Afterwords from Karl Steel.

Special thanks are due to Matt Lee and Meagan Manas, for their unique although otherwise hidden contributions to the issue.

2 Announcements!

Whiskey & Fox announces two major changes. No longer will Whiskey & Fox only be available by coming upon it at those sites where it is distributed by the journal's co-conspirators. Starting with Vol. 2 Issue #3, each issue of the journal will be made available for home-printing, free of charge, to all readers. A PDF file-edition of each issue will be made available for download through this website, along with printing and assembly instructions [basically, this will mean printing the file, double-sided, and arranging the signatures in order, then folding and perhaps even stapling the book together].


The editors have been considering a manner by which the journal could move to increased distribution, longer issues, and thus easier rhizome-growth of the literary/political hopes we aim to provoke in texts of Whiskey & Fox. Also under consideration were the possibilities of seeking funding for a nicer and more widely distributable printed format, using Open Access journal tools, or switching to an entirely electronic format by means of our own web-design and hosting. While we understand fully that being hosted by Blogspot participates fully in the material forms produced and maintained by market forces and Google [think, dear reader, how the choices of blog tools offered to Blogspot (et. al.) users, largely for market reasons by Google itself (et. al.). determine and limit the forms of human consciousness, imagination, and its products], we believe that the form of the weblog, while not entirely democratic [access to this internet is by no means level or evenly distributed], does not require the participation in Capital to the extent of paying for a domain and web-hosting, or, variously, participating in book-production and manufacturing markets. As a journal interested in what the material aspects of print-formats can offer uniquely, as they are altered in the context of [read, their interconnection with, sometimes to the point of dependancy on] electronic media, and with reference to the political struggle against totalitarian regimes of thought that so restrict human imagination, we believe that this new combined production/distribution format allows us to exploit the cracks in workings of Capital and grow much more virally, and effectively, from where we now stand in this labor.


Additionally, Whiskey & Fox announces a felicitous change in the Editorial Staff. The Editorial Staff is now as follows:

Daniel C. Remein, Editor, New York University

Sarah Bagley, 'theory' Editor, University of Pittsburgh

Sten Carlson, 'poetry' Editor, University of Pittsburgh

Blaire Zeiders, historiographical Editor, University of Wisconsin, Madison


edit: please note that vol. 2 #2, Fashion, with thanks to graphic designer Matt Lee and fashion designer/illustrator Greta Hambke, was released this summer, and will eventually also be released by the new method.
