Stomach-Churning Socialism? Biopolitics in Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle
By Yen-bin Chiou
REAL: Review of English and American Literature [Yingmei wenxue pinglun]
Little wonder that Alain Badiou, who argues practically along the same line, emphatically takes the condemnation of the life-preservation principle
to be a jump-off point for developing an ethical exterior perspective on biopolitical administration.

The journal may be accessed without charge at http://escholarship.org/uc/acgcc_jtas.
JTAS 2.1 features a previously unpublished essay by W. E. B. Du Bois and an article by Mark Twain that has not been reprinted since its initial publication in 1868, as well as contributions from scholars based in Argentina, Canada, Japan, Korea, Spain, and the United States. In addition to new articles that examine questions in American Studies as the field intersects productively and problematically with other national cultures, societies, politics, and histories, the journal contains excerpts from newly published books in transnational American studies (in the Forward section), and select re-publication of significant contributions to the field (in the Reprise section). The table of contents of JTAS 2.1 is pasted below.

Safundi: The Journal of South African and American Studies
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JUNE 26, 2007
Routledge Journals is proud to announce the first issue of Safundi: The Journal of South African and American Studies to be published in print and online by Routledge.
Safundi is a peer-reviewed quarterly academic journal that analyses the United States and South Africa from an international, transnational, and comparative perspective and seeks to understand each country in relation to the other. It first appeared as an online journal in 1999, and its readership quickly grew to form a community of more than 2,500 scholars throughout the world.
Safundi will appear four times a year on both print and online formats. It is under the editorial direction of its founding editor, Andrew Offenburger, Yale University. His fellow editors are Dr Christopher Saunders, University of Cape Town; Dr Rita Barnard, University of Pennsylvania; and twenty others primarily at universities in the US and South Africa.
Offenburger said: ‘We are thrilled to be associated with Routledge. The editors and I see this as an opportunity for a symbiotic relationship, between Routledge and Safundi, and between a printed and electronic presence. Having guided the journal since its nascent stages—when online journals were still relatively unknown entities—I am eager to see how Safundi and our community grow, thanks to this partnership and the journal’s new print version’.
Jon Manley, African Studies journal Publisher at Routledge, added: ‘This is a rare opportunity for Routledge to take an established online community of scholars and an electronic journal and support them by the more traditional and well-understood paper publication model. We believe the strength and reputation of the Routledge African Studies programme—as well as the associated areas such as international relations—will combine to give Safundi a new international profile and the exposure it deserves.’
About Safundi
Founded in 1999, Safundi used the Internet to publish the latest research on the US and South Africa. In 2003 and again in 2005, Safundi published its best articles in book format, and it expanded its online offerings to include three databases: a member directory, a comparative US/South African bibliography, and a database of comparative syllabi for educators. The title Safundi derives from the initial letters of South Africa and America and the word ‘fundi’, which comes from the Xhosa verb, -funda, which translates as ‘to read’ or ‘to learn’.
