WHAT DOES BAFFLER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

The Baffler

The Baffler is a magazine of cultural, political, and business criticism that was founded in 1988 and published until the spring of 2007. It was revived in 2009, with the first issue of Volume 2 published in January 2010. The magazine was headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and sold at bookstores across the U.S., Canada, and the UK. Founded in 1988 by editors Thomas Frank and Keith White, published by Greg Lane, it had subscribers all over the world. The Associate Publisher was Emily Vogt. Editors included Matt Weiland, Dave Mulcahey, Solveig Nelson, Jennifer Moxley, George Hodak, Jim McNeill, Damon Krukowski, Kim Philips-Fein, Tom Vanderbilt, Chris Lehmann, Angela Sorby, Tom Frank. It was known for critiquing "business culture and the culture business" and for having exposed the grunge speak hoax perpetrated on the New York Times. One famous and much-republished article, "The Problem with Music" by Steve Albini, exposed the inner-workings of the music business during the indie rock heyday. A self-described goal of the journal was to "blunt the cutting edge". Its models were the satire and cultural criticism of H.L.
