Encounter was a literary magazine founded in 1953 by poet Stephen Spender and journalist Irving Kristol. The magazine ceased publication in 1991. Published in the United Kingdom, it was an Anglo-American intellectual and cultural journal, originally associated with the anti-Stalinist left. The magazine received covert funding from the Central Intelligence Agency after the CIA and MI6 discussed the founding of an "Anglo-American left-of-centre publication" intended to counter the idea of Cold War neutralism. The magazine was rarely critical of American foreign policy and generally shaped its content to support the geopolitical interests of the United States government.

dbo:abstract
  • Encounter war eine kontroverse Literaturzeitschrift, die 1953 vom Dichter Stephen Spender und dem Schriftsteller Irving Kristol gegründet und in England publiziert wurde. 1990 stellte die Zeitschrift ihr Erscheinen ein. Sie war hauptsächlich eine intellektuelle Kulturzeitschrift für eine angloamerikanische Leserschaft. Spender war bis 1966 Herausgeber. Grund für Spenders Rückzug war die Aufdeckung der verdeckten CIA-Finanzierung der Zeitschrift über die Association for Cultural Freedom (Kongress für kulturelle Freiheit), die ihm nicht bewusst war. Es verursachte unter den europäischen und amerikanischen Intellektuellen einen Skandal, der seitdem den literarischen Inhalt der Zeitschrift überschattete. Der Encounter war das britische Gegenstück zu der französischen Zeitschrift , der italienischen Zeitschrift , der österreichischen Zeitschrift FORVM und zur deutschen Zeitschrift Der Monat. Während der Zeit von Melvin J. Lasky, der Kristol 1958 nachfolgte und sein Hauptherausgeber bis zu seiner Einstellung war, feierte der Encounter seine größten Erfolge hinsichtlich der Leserschaft und seines Einflusses. Die übrigen Herausgeber in dieser Epoche waren Frank Kermode und . (de)
  • Encounter was a literary magazine founded in 1953 by poet Stephen Spender and journalist Irving Kristol. The magazine ceased publication in 1991. Published in the United Kingdom, it was an Anglo-American intellectual and cultural journal, originally associated with the anti-Stalinist left. The magazine received covert funding from the Central Intelligence Agency after the CIA and MI6 discussed the founding of an "Anglo-American left-of-centre publication" intended to counter the idea of Cold War neutralism. The magazine was rarely critical of American foreign policy and generally shaped its content to support the geopolitical interests of the United States government. Spender served as literary editor until 1967, when he resigned; the revelation of the covert CIA funding of the magazine occurred that year. He had heard rumours but had not been able to confirm. Thomas W. Braden, who headed the CIA's International Organizations Division's operations between 1951 and 1954, said that the money for the magazine "came from CIA, and few outside the CIA knew about it. We had placed one agent in a Europe-based organization of intellectuals called the Congress for Cultural Freedom." Frank Kermode replaced Spender, but he too resigned when it became clear the CIA was involved. Roy Jenkins observed that earlier contributors were aware of U.S. funding but believed it came from philanthropists, including a Cincinnati gin distiller. Encounter experienced its most successful years in terms of readership and influence under Melvin J. Lasky, who succeeded Kristol in 1958 and would serve as the main editor until the magazine ceased publication in 1991. Other editors in this period included D. J. Enright. (en)
