"When taken as a whole, this rich and diverse collection of essays, reflects in many ways the rhythmic ebb and flow at the heart of Carl Ernst's vital and animating body of scholarship. Each piece, in its own matter, is working to carve new pathways. Whether engaging with specific subfields, exploring the limits, ambiguities, and intersections of disciplines, or critically assessing and challenging the structures of the academy, the works gathered herein disclose where the thrumming heart of scholarship could and ought to go."
