In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

  • Editors' Note

CR: The New Centennial Review is devoted to comparative studies of the Americas. The journal's primary emphasis is on the opening up of the possibilities for a future Americas that does not amount to a mere reiteration of its past. We seek interventions, provocations, and indeed, insurgencies that release futures for the Americas. In general, CR welcomes work that is inflected, informed, and driven by theoretical and philosophical concerns at the limits of the potentialities for the Americas.

Such work may be explicitly concerned with the Americas, or it may be broader, global and/or genealogical scholarship with implications for the Americas. CR recognizes that the language of the Americas is translation, and therefore that questions of translation, dialogue, and border crossings (linguistic, cultural, national, and the like) are necessary for rethinking the foundations and limits of the Americas.

For 45 years, CR has been a journal committed to interdisciplinarity, and we continue to encourage work that goes beyond a simple performance of the strategies of various disciplines and interdisciplines, and that therefore interrogates them. [End Page vii]

This issue of CR, "Blanqui for Eternity," includes the first full-length translation into English of Louis-Auguste Blanqui's L'éternité par les astres (Eternity According to the Stars).

We currently are soliciting work for Special Issues or Special Sections on the following topics, among others:

  • • Transnational Triage

  • • New Paths in Political Philosophy

  • • "Life" [End Page viii]
