Biography

Ira Livingston’s primary field is cultural theory. He is the author of Between Science and Literature: An Introduction to Autopoetics (2006) and Arrow of Chaos: Romanticism and Postmodernity (1997), and coeditor of Posthuman Bodies (1995, with Judith Halberstam) and Poetry and Cultural Studies: A Reader (2009, with Maria Damon). He grew up in Minnesota, where he used to hang out with Bob Dylan, Prince, the Coen Brothers, and the Great Gatsby (okay, that part isn’t true).
