“A Meteor of Intelligent Substance”
“Something was Missing in our Culture, and Here It Is”
“Liberties sure is needed in these times.”
In a short time since its launch, Liberties - A Journal of Culture and Politics, a quarterly, has become essential reading for those engaged in the cultural and political issues and causes of our time. The writers in Liberties offer deep experience from across borders, national identities, political affiliations and artistic achievements. As the introductory essay in the inaugural edition noted, “At this journal we are betting on what used to be called the common reader, who would rather reflect than belong and asks of our intellectual life more than a choice between orthodoxies.”
Each issue of Liberties features original in-depth essays and compelling new poetry from some of the world's most significant writers, artists, and scholars, as well as introducing new talent, to inspire and impact the intellectual and creative lifeblood of today’s culture and politics.
This spring issue of Liberties includes:
- Giles Kepel on the Murder of Samuel Paty
- Ingrid Rowland’s Long Live the Classics!
- Vladimir Kara-Murza Surviving Putin’s Poisons
- Paul Starr on Reckoning with National Failure from Covid
- Becca Rothfeld on Today's Sanctimony Literature
- Enrique Krauze explores What is Latin America?
- William Deresiewicz on Why Great Visual Art Forces Us to Think; Benjamin Moser on Rediscovering Frans Hals
- David Nirenberg on What We Can Learn from Earlier Plagues
- Agnes Callard’s view of Romance without Love, Love without Romance
- Mitchell Abidor looks back to “Social Media” in 1895 to Understand a Crowd’s “Wisdom”
- The Tallis Scholars' Peter Phillips on the Secrets of Josquin
- David Thomson on Movies’ Poetic Desire
- Poetry from Henri Cole, Chaim Nachman Bialik, and Paul Muldoon
- Leon Wieseltier (editor) asks "Where Are the Americans?”
- And Celeste Marcus (managing editor) writes for a Pluralistic Heart.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
