Editorial [CounterText : volume 10 : issue 3]

Abstract

This thirtieth issue of CounterText, completing the journal’s first decade, marks a milestone as it continues to probe the evolving boundaries of the literary. Across ten years, CounterText has explored, documented, and interrogated shifts in literary forms, voices, and contexts, assembling works that question, disrupt, and reshape traditional conceptions of literature and, indeed, of literary criticism. Volume 10, Issue 3 is no exception, presenting a diverse set of inquiries that find the literary in new territories – territories where artificial intelligence, censorship, horror, education, and social critique intersect and reveal the mutable edges of the post-literary. This collection exemplifies the journal’s commitment to a distinctly countertextual ethos, where the literary is simultaneously expanded and destabilised, and its presence felt in unexpected forms.
