This book examines the cultural criticism led by New York
intellectuals from the 1960s onwards, considering the influence of
such critique on American collective memory and contemporary public
culture. With a focus on essays that appeared in Dissent
magazine-one of the most important journals of the New York
intellectuals-from the year of its launch in 1954 to its most
recent issue, as well as representative books on American culture
by Daniel Bell and Russell Jacoby, the author contends that
post-Sixties narratives constitute a special paradigm of cultural
criticism that seek radical possibilities for societal change in
the US, based on a use of the 1960s as an index for understanding
American cultural and political life. A study of the ways in which
narratives can move beyond story-telling to have interpretative and
ideological functions as a form of criticism, this book will appeal
to scholars of cultural studies and sociology, as well as those
working in the fields of linguistics and literary theory.

This book is the proceeding of the International Workshop on
Operator Theory and Applications (IWOTA) held in July 2018 in
Shanghai, China. It consists of original papers, surveys and
expository articles in the broad areas of operator theory, operator
algebras and noncommutative topology. Its goal is to give graduate
students and researchers a relatively comprehensive overview of the
current status of research in the relevant fields. The book is also
a special volume dedicated to the memory of Ronald G. Douglas who
passed away on February 27, 2018 at the age of 79. Many of the
contributors are Douglas' students and past collaborators. Their
articles attest and commemorate his life-long contribution and
influence to these fields.
