Описание: The idea of the North in modernity--its associations with sparseness and scarcity, to hardships and remoteness--has fed countless narratives of journeying to places and fates unknown. In classical antiquity, however, the north was a place of perfection. In the 5th century BCE, Pindar wrote of the wonders of Hyperborea--a northerly land whose natives lived unaffected by "sickness or ruinous old age," by "toil or battles." The poet also claimed this kingdom could be found "neither by ship nor on foot," and it is this mix of terrestrial encounter and lyric indeterminacy that continues to characterize our idea of the North. Cabinet 59, with a special section on "The North," includes Jessica Rowan on five centuries of expeditions in search of the Northwest Passage; Joe Duncan on the US government's rush to exploit Arctic resources made newly accessible by global warming; and Bettina Sierra on the attempts to recreate the atmospheric effects of the aurora borealis.

Описание: A zone of deprivation and emptiness but also a space for adventure and even divine revelation, the desert has historically resisted human domination, even as it has continued to tantalize the cultural imagination. Cabinet issue 63, with a special section on "The Desert," includes Maria Golia on the long history of tomb raiding in Egypt; Margaret Spelling on her recent visit to the town built in the Andalusian desert as a set for Italian spaghetti westerns; and Jonathan Randall on climate change and the shifting boundaries of the world's deserts. Elsewhere in the issue: George Pendle on the unusual friendship between RAND Corporation strategist Herman Kahn and performance artist James Lee Byars; Adam Jasper on the surprising history of the "lorem ipsum" placeholder text used universally by designers and publishers; and Volker Welter on visiting sites significant to F.W. Murnau's ill-fated life in Hollywood.

Описание: One of only a handful of substances produced in nature expressly as food, milk is fundamental for infant mammalian nutrition, but is also foundational in human myth and religion. Cabinet issue 62, with a special section on "Milk," includes Renata Salecl on the psychoanalytical implications of the recent death of a child solely breastfed for the first five years of his life; Jeff Dolven on milk and luminosity; Esther Leslie and Melanie Jackson on the ways in which milk is transformed from primary material to metaphorical excess; and Melanie Tyson on the colonial history of condensed milk. Elsewhere in the issue: Daniel Rosenberg on Maurice Sendak's beloved "Nutshell Library" and the fantasies of book classification; Richard Cooke on the history of live sex shows in Europe and their sudden decline in the 1980s; and an artist project by S. Billie Mandle exploring the varieties of Catholic confessionals.
