Revaluations that track an overarching theme, idea, or trend of broad general interest to the critical humanities. ? Special focus sections on a specific field, question, or development in the critical humanities.

o Recent past special focus sections: animal studies (73-74), Franco-Italian political theory (75), international cultural studies (76), religion and the humanities today (77), and global English (78, in press).
