Beschreibung

DARK ACADEMIA is a social media trend devoted to the nostalgic stylization of academic life in the humanities that may never have existed in this form. Its visual hallmark is a subdued colour palette - the hues of leatherbound books, wood-panelled libraries, ivy-covered façades of elite universities and (mostly white) tweed-clad academics. Literary examples of dark academia, such as the texts discussed in this theme issue, often explore the 'dark sides' of bookishness, learning and academic culture: violence, sexism, competition, impostor syndrome and complicity with institutional structures that shore up inequality. Dark academia thus responds to the neoliberal restructuration of higher education since the 1990s and its consequences, such as the student loan crisis in the US, expensive tuition fees in the UK, underfunded departments and increasing pressure to study the humanities for employability.
