Prefatory Note

The essays in this issue come from a conference organized at UC Irvine in October 2010 to celebrate two decades of publishing Postmodern Culture, and complement the works from the conference published in issue 21.1. The conference, "Culture After Postmodern Culture," asked what postmodern culture means today: a brief note about the event is found in issue 21.1. Arlene Keizer's paper at the conference appears elsewhere; we include here her interview with poet Harryette Mullen.
