How does literature represent, challenge and help us understand our experience of globalization? Taking literary globalization studies beyond its traditional political focus, Literature and the Experience of Globalization explores how writers from Shakespeare through Goethe to Isak Dinesen, J.M. Coetzee, Amitav Ghosh and Bruce Chatwin engage with the human dimensions of globalization. Through a wide range of insightful close readings, Svend Erik Larsen brings contemporary world literature approaches to bear on cross-cultural experiences of migration and travel, translation, memory, history and embodied knowledge. In doing so, this important intervention demonstrates how literature becomes an essential site for understanding the ways in which globalization has become an integral part of everyday experience.
The essays collected in Tattooed Bodies draw on a range of theoretical paradigms and empirical knowledge to investigate tattoos, tattooing, and our complex relations with marks on skin. Engaging with diverse disciplinary perspectives in art history, continental philosophy, media studies, psychoanalysis, critical theory, literary studies, biopolitics, and cultural anthropology, the volume reflects the sheer diversity of meanings attributed to tattoos throughout history and across cultures. Essays explore conceptualizations of tattoos and tattooing in Derrida, Deleuze and Guattari, Lacan, Agamben, and Jean-Luc Nancy, while utilizing theoretical perspectives to interpret tattoos in literary works by Melville, Beckett, Kafka, Genet, and Jeff VanderMeer, among others. Tattooed Bodies prompts readers to explore a few significant questions: Are tattoos unique phenomena or an art medium in need of special theoretical exploration? If so, what conceptual paradigms and theories might best shape our understanding of tattoos and their complex ubiquity in world cultures and histories?

The black and white anthology MEGATON was at the forefront of the independent comics revolution, and from 1981 to 1987 publisher and writer GARY CARLSON helped rewrite comics history!  ERIK LARSEN’s SAVAGE DRAGON and ROB LIEFELD’s YOUNGBLOOD both debuted in MEGATON, prompting LIEFELD to later dub CARLSON “the Grandfather of Image Comics,” and the series was notable for launching the career of a veritable who’s who of artists.  Now, celebrating MEGATON’s 40th anniversary, the original eight issues are collected for the first time ever – in their entirety, in chronological order, and in glorious black and white, scanned from the original art and film negatives used to publish the original comics!  Collects MEGATON #1-8 plus early ads for the series, unpublished art, preliminary character designs, commentary by CARLSON and more!
