Nonsite
nonsite.org is an online, open access, peer-reviewed quarterly journal of scholarship in the humanities, plus poetry, editorials, reviews, visual art and more. nonsite.org also features “the Tank,” a forum for comment on provocative new scholarly work. nonsite.org emerges in part out of interest in a set of theoretical topics—the ontology of the work of art, the question of intentionality, the ongoing appeal of different and sometimes competing materialisms—and in part out of opposition to the dominant accounts of those topics. Today, the various theoretical forms of neoliberalism—from the postmodern to the posthuman, from the new historicism to the new pluralism—have become so pervasive that they are nearly invisible. nonsite.org seeks first to make them visible and then to make them less pervasive. Our goal is to criticize what is and replace it with what we think ought to be.

Sacred Matters
With a range of blogs and websites dedicated to religion flourishing online right now, Sacred Matters is designed primarily though not exclusively with the “nones” in mind. These are individuals who prefer not to claim a specific, singular religious identity on surveys, who are unaffiliated, and who cross generations though are mostly young Americans. Whether one is a “none” or a true believer, the sacred is not always what it seems, can be associated with just about any thing, and remains pervasive and pertinent in everyday, ordinary life and unusual, extraordinary experiences. Sacred Matters features articles, commentaries, podcasts, and other media that bring sacred notions and activities often excluded from conversations about religion and spirituality to the fore. The scope of topics is expansive but culture-bound, so everything from science to popular culture; theology to sexuality; drugs to the environment–and more–is covered.
