That's a pretty safe bet, I'd guess, since it's for post-graduates, I'd guess most
of them and probably the entire editorial board had read _This Sex Which Is Not
One_ at one time or another, since it's been around a while.
Visiting the site and reading some of their essays, reviews, and poems, though,
'they' don't seem to be of any particular theoretical cast/e overall, one article
might refer to DeLeuze, another to Butler, etc.
It's true that there are academic fashions, cast/es, etc, just as there's a new
color that every woman's supposed to wear every spring, but what can't be used
to create class or cast/e? I think there's much that's vital in these ideas, and,
well, as for the posturing that can follow or attend that's pretty much
everywhere, ain't it?
best,
Rebecca
