Before her death in 2001, Naomi Schor was a leading scholar in
feminist and critical theory and a founding coeditor of
differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies. This issue
takes as its starting point Schor's book Bad Objects: Essays
Popular and Unpopular (1995), in which she discussed her attraction
to the "bad objects" the academy had overlooked or ignored:
universalism, essentialism, and feminism. Underpinning these bad
objects was her mourning of the literary, a sense that her work-and
feminist theory more generally-had departed from the textual
readings in which they were grounded. Schor's question at the time
was "Will a new feminist literary criticism arise that will take
literariness seriously while maintaining its vital ideological
edge?" The contributors take literariness-the "bad object" of this
issue-seriously. They do not necessarily engage in debates about
reading, theorize new formalisms, or thematize language; rather,
they invigorate and unsettle the reading experience, investigating
the relationship between language and meaning. Contributors. Lee
Edelman, Frances Ferguson, Peggy Kamuf, Ramsey McGlazer, Thangam
Ravindranathan, Denise Riley, Ellen Rooney, Elizabeth Weed
