Welcome to our Borders Issue

January 7, 2015 by William Eaton

The theme of this issue is that of every Zeteo issue: Borders. We are interested in transgressing the borders between the personal, the political, and the intellectual, and in pieces that cross the boundaries between academic fields. This Fall 2014 issue—our largest and most unified to date—makes our interest in borders explicit, as the contributing writers and artists explore: How Presidential candidates are using and abusing popular music. What beauty can be made from our sad economic and political news. How terraforming […]

Welcome to the Spring 2014 Issue

May 21, 2014 by Alexia Raynal

In Zeteo‘s New York home, this year’s spring was delayed by a long, biting winter. Low temperatures forced us to walk through spring, as Joseph Conrad suggested, “with eyes half shut, with dull ears, with dormant thoughts.” But earth is finally emerging from under the blankets of hibernation and so too does Zeteo, with a vibrant and warming Spring Issue. Walter Cummins uses S. Lochlain Jain’s critique of the U.S. medical system to explore different narratives about cancer. His personal encounter with malignancy reveals some similarities but also striking differences from Jain’s […]

Welcome to the Fall 2013 Issue

November 19, 2013 by Alexia Raynal

Zeteo has always attempted to capture the loving, passionate interests of its writers, opening a space for those who seek to question, reveal, connect, and, above all, explore. This time, however, the engagement seems more visceral—and more collaborative. This fall, our writers see meaning as something jointly constructed rather than found or asserted by a single individual. They are proposing that true understanding must be achieved through conversation, disagreement, mutual elaboration. How does this work out in practice, in prose? In […]

Welcome to the Zeteo Fall Issue

November 15, 2012 by William Eaton

Dear Readers, Welcome to the Zeteo Fall Issue 2012. In a United States election year we began with the idea of choice. We challenged writers to speak about the choices human beings make not only in politics, but also as consumers, spectators and thinkers. We proposed that choice might be an illusion—our “choices” channeled by economic regimes, education, custom, biology, family dynamics. Zeteo is an interdisciplinary but not undisciplined journal. In this issue you will find pieces that speak directly about our choices. Catherine […]

Welcome to Zeteo, since 2012

Zeteo is for people who are readers, lookers, listeners, thinkers. Increasingly we are interested in short texts that call attention to other texts, works of art or music that deserve more attention than they are getting. And we are interested similarly in historical phenomena, ignored aspects of contemporary life, . . . We look forward to hearing about your ideas, your reading, what you’ve seen . . .
