An issue of antiTHESIS, the University of Melbourne’s annual postgraduate journal of writing, criticism and cultural studies, gathered here around the theme of space.

Inside: poetry, fiction, essays, reviews, visual poetics, performance writing, Foucault, film, embodiment, public space, private space, blank space, and extremely early-2000s coded academic conviction. A small local artefact of theory-adjacent Melbourne: experimental, uneven, earnest, sharp in places, and full of pre-platform energy where poetry, cultural studies, visual design and criticism were still allowed to sit in the same room without anyone calling it “content.” 

Good for readers interested in Australian small press history, experimental writing, university journals, visual poetics, cultural theory, and the beautiful old ecosystem of printed things. 

Paperback journal issue: antiTHESIS #12: Space, published by the Department of English with Cultural Studies and Creative Writing at the University of Melbourne, 2001. Light shelf wear, rubbing and surface scratching to cover; internally clean and readable.
