Representations is an interdisciplinary journal in the humanities published quarterly by the University of California Press. The journal was established in 1983 and is the founding publication of the New Historicism movement of the 1980s. It covers topics including literary, historical, and cultural studies. The founding editorial board was chaired by Stephen Greenblatt and Svetlana Alpers.[1] Representations frequently publishes thematic special issues, for example, the 2007 issue on the legacies of American Orientalism,[2] the 2006 issue on cross-cultural mimesis,[3] and the 2005 issue on political and intellectual redress.[4]
