In introducing The CEA Critic’s 80th anniversary issue, I noted that the journey through those eight decades inspired me to propose to my fellow editors that we introduce two new occasional features to our journal. The first was the result of my culling 80 years of some really fine writing and ideas into that single (albeit a double) issue. Why not, I suggested, highlight an essay from the past in each current issue? As such, The CEA Critic includes the first “Looking Backwards” featured essay—here, Melvin G. Williams’ 1977 piece, “Black Literature: A Stereophonic Experience for Monophonic Students.” My second proposed feature is not so much something new but, rather, something we hope to institutionalize whenever possible and appropriate: soliciting for inclusion work by exemplary graduate students. In this issue, we include James Rankin’s essay on Don DeLillo, “The Contingency of History: Pragmatism and Approaching Historical Truth in Don DeLillo’s Libra.” James is a Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland. Taken together, our two new features to The CEA Critic should help to create continuity between the journal’s past—when it was The News Letter of the College English Association—and its present. As an organization, tradition matters to the CEA, and these two features allow us at once to look backwards from whence we came as teacher-scholars and towards the future in how a new generation of teacher-scholars advance ongoing conversations.

编者介绍

在介绍 CEA 评论家 80 周年刊时,我注意到这八年的旅程激励我向我的编辑同事建议我们向我们的期刊引入两个新的不定期特刊。第一个是我将 80 年来一些非常好的写作和想法剔除到那个单一(尽管是双重)问题中的结果。我建议,为什么不在当前的每一期中突出一篇过去的文章?因此,CEA 评论家收录了第一篇“向后看”专题文章——这里是梅尔文 G. 威廉姆斯 1977 年的作品,“黑人文学:单声道学生的立体声体验”。我提出的第二个特点并不是什么新东西,而是我们希望在任何可能和适当的时候将其制度化:征集模范研究生的包容性工作。在这个问题上,我们包括詹姆斯·兰金 (James Rankin) 关于唐·德里罗 (Don DeLillo) 的文章“历史的偶然性:唐·德里罗 (Don DeLillo) 的天秤座中的实用主义和接近历史真相”。詹姆斯是博士。马里兰大学的学生。综上所述,我们为 CEA 评论家提供的两个新功能应该有助于在该期刊的过去(当时它是大学英语协会的新闻通讯)和现在之间建立连续性。作为一个组织,传统对 CEA 很重要,这两个特征使我们能够立即回顾我们作为教师学者的来源,以及新一代教师学者如何推进正在进行的对话的未来。我们为 CEA 评论家提供的两个新功能应该有助于在该期刊的过去(当时它是大学英语协会的新闻通讯)与其现在之间建立连续性。作为一个组织,传统对 CEA 很重要,这两个特征使我们能够立即回顾我们作为教师学者的来源,以及新一代教师学者如何推进正在进行的对话的未来。我们为 CEA 评论家提供的两个新功能应该有助于在该期刊的过去(当时它是大学英语协会的新闻通讯)与其现在之间建立连续性。作为一个组织,传统对 CEA 很重要,这两个特征使我们能够立即回顾我们作为教师学者的来源,以及新一代教师学者如何推进正在进行的对话的未来。
