The Hedgehog Review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Hedgehog Review" is an academic interdisciplinary journal published three times yearly by the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture (IASC) at the University of Virginia. As an interdisciplinary research center, the IASC studies contemporary cultural changes, focusing its research efforts on questions of the human person, meaning, and the order of public life.

As one of the IASC's many publications, "The Hedgehog Review" centers its issues around a single cultural theme and includes book reviews, interviews, annotated bibliographies, and scholarly articles. The journal draws its name from the writings of Archilochus, a Greek lyricist, who once wrote that "the fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." The journal's mission, according to its editors, is to strive "for both the breadth of the fox and the depth of the hedgehog."

Past journal topics include:
Meditations on Exile and Home, Fall 2005
Illness and Suffering, Fall 2006
Celebrity Culture, Spring 2005
Discourse and Democracy, Fall 2004
Fate of the Arts, Summer 2004
