Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies In This Issue For everyone who has been involved in the enterprise of bringing the Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies to life, it seems impossible that four years have passed since our first volume came back from the printers in December of 1997.

We offer our readers four interviews , three with crucial figures in contemporary Spanish culture and one on the topic of quantum aesthetics. Our second special section features a timely collection of six essays solicited, edited and introduced by Charles Tatum, Dean of the College of Humanities at the University of Arizona. Our fifth volume (2001) will feature a special section on the Hispanic Atlantic edited by Joseba Gabilondo. We are open to proposals for special sections for our 2002 issue.
