Overview

Mediations is the journal of the Marxist Literary Group. Begun by Fredric Jameson as a theoretical newsletter in the early 1970s, it was established as a journal in 1990-91 by Ron Strickland and Chris Newfield.[1]. The journal was reorganized in 2007 as a peer-reviewed web-based journal, appearing twice yearly and publishing dossiers of translated material on special topics and open-submission issues, usually in alternation.[2] Recent contributors have included Luiz Felipe de Alencastro, Paulo Arantes, Patrick Bond, Dennis Brutus, Fredric Jameson, Neil Larsen, Antonio Negri, Francisco de Oliveira, Roberto Schwarz, and Paolo Virno.[3] The journal's editorial operations are based in the English Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
