ANGELA MCROBBIE Post-Marxism and Cultural Studies: A Post-script 719 References 731 Contributor's Notes 771 Index 777 Preface This book grew out of a large international conference—"Cultural Studies Now and in the Future,,—organized by the three editors through the Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The conference, attended by about nine hundred people, was held on the University of Illinois campus from April 4 through April 9, 1990. In addition to those presenting papers at the conference, a number of other people were invited to attend, participate in discussions, and submit papers to the book. Most of the papers have been substantially revised and expanded in the months since then, but several people worked to retain the style of a public presentation. Something of the flavor of the original event can also be recovered in the discussion sessions, which were transcribed and edited both by us and by the contributors. Some responses remain unchanged; others have been revised or expanded. We have included the names of people asking questions or offering comments whenever they were willing to be identified; and we have cooperated with those who preferred to remain anonymous. Neither the conference nor the book would have been possible without the help of a great many people. We have recognized on the title page the work of the two graduate assistants who worked longest on the project: Linda Baughman made many of the administrative arrangements for the conference, from scheduling travel for the speak ers to contracting for the sound system that transmitted audience comments through the same speakers used by those presenting papers. John Macgregor Wise transcribed all the discussion sessions so that they could be sent to the contributors for revision. Other people employed during the conference were Aleka Akoyunoglou, Ali Anushir- vanani, Ann Blanke, Tom Bosma, Traci Brown, Deanna Calvert, Marnie Coleman, Mitra Cowan, Sagri Dhairyam, Maureen Ebben, John Erni, Ian Fielding, Lee Furey, Kyle Grimes, Patrick Hawley, Timothy Jack, Amita Kachru, Linda Katner, Nely Kein- anen, Gina Lacopulos, Laurie Lewis, Lynne Murphy, Gil Rodman, Marya Ryan, Ste phanie Stavrakos, Taimur Sullivan, and Karine Verhoven. Special thanks goes to Peter Garrett, Director of the Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory, and to a number of other people on campus who helped with administrative arrangements: Trudi Gordon, Mona Friedman, Nick Natarella, Brenda Polk, and Sandy Roberts.
