A Note from the Editors

Abstract

A Note from the Editors Thomas Dumm and Anne Norton, Editors Readers will notice an important change in 1.4. An essay by Peter Euben, Remembering Paige Baty, I, has been revised. We have made this change after learning that the second part of Professor Euben’s essay includes without attribution a section of an essay by Professor Vivian Sobchack that she had sent to Euben to be read at a memorial service for Paige Baty last summer. Professor Sobchack’s essay is now included as Remembering Paige Baty, III. Issues of revision and correction of a journal are among the most difficult for editors to address, and in an electronic journal they present a distinctive set of paradoxes. We have available to us the means to correct, but also to efface, errors. Our concern for archival accuracy might have led us to allow Professor Euben’s essay to remain unchanged until the next issue of Theory&Event, where the error would be acknowledged and corrected. That decision would have assured all that once a posting is published, we would never change it. But because we have the means to correct the record, we have chosen to change the posting and repair the damage done to an offended party in a way that also retains a public record of the original essay. So for the sake of the record, Professor Euben’s original essay with its error intact is available at a linked site.
