The Interpretive Lens
What the decade thought about itself. What theory said and missed. The closing register — the archive turns around and reads its own period through the frames the period produced.
12
The decade reading itself — affect theory in the office, the digital transition as ontological event, the hollowing of institutions, the controversies editors actually fought over, religion the floor could not see, and the heterodox writers who wrote against their own tribes. The archive's closing part; interpretation, elsewhere forbidden, is here the subject.
