David Byrne imagines a society that has gone totally offline—if only to suggest what a truly secure online life might l...

Gay Propaganda and Russia’s Shrinking Public Space
The investigative journalist on Putin, anti-queer campaigns, and the “personal catastrophe” of exile.
Last fall, Social Text Journal dedicated its Issue 116 to "Punk and Its Afterlives" (and a mixtape to boot!). The volume not only explores the impact of this sociological phenomenon when it emerged and peaked in the the 1970s, but also considers the ways that it has since evolved and shaped cultural and political landscapes around the globe. A must read for anyone interested in sub-cultural studies.
