The works collected here constitute practical engagements with the postmodern--from AIDS and the body to postmodern politics. Writing by George Yudice, Allison Fraiberg, David Porush, Stuart Moulthrop, Paul McCarthy, Roberto Dainotto, Audrey Ecstavasia, Elizabeth Wheeler, Bob Perelman, Steven Helmling, Neil Larsen, David Mikics, Barrett Watten. Book design by Richard Eckersley. ISBN: 0-19-508752-6 (hardbound) 0-19-508753-4 (paper) 2)-------------------------------------------------------------- _BLACK ICE BOOKS_ _Black Ice Books_ is a new alternative trade paperback series that will introduce readers to the latest wave of dissident American writers. Breaking out of the bonds of mainstream writing, the voices published here are subversive, challenging and provocative. The first four books include: _Avant-Pop: Fiction for a Daydream Nation_ Edited by Larry McCaffery, this book is an assemblage of innovative fiction, comic book art, unique graphics and various other unclassifiable texts by writers like Samuel Delany, Mark Leyner, William Vollmann, Kathy Acker, Eurdice, Stephen Wright, Derek Pell, Harold Jaffe, Tim Ferret, Ricardo Cortez Cruz and many others. "One of the least cautious, nerviest editors going, Larry McCaffery is the No-Care Bear of American Letters." -- William Gibson. "A clusterbomb of crazy fiction, from a generation too sane to repeat yesterday's lies." -- Tom Robbins _New Noir_ Stories by John Shirley John Shirley bases his stories on his personal experience of extreme people and extreme mental states, and on his struggle with the seduction of drugs, crime, prostitution and violence. "John Shirley is an adventurer, returning from dark and troubled regions with visionary tales to tell." -- Clive Barker _The Kafka Chronicles_ a novel by Mark Amerika The _Kafka Chronicles_ is an adventure into the psyche of an ultracontemporary twentysomething guerilla artist who is lost in an underworld of drugs and mental terrorism, where he encounters an unusual cast of angry yet sensual characters "Mr Amerika--if indeed that is his name--has achieved a unique beauty in his artful marriage of Blake's lyricism and the iron- in-the-soul of Celine. Are we taking a new and hard-hitting Antonin Artaud? Absolutely. And much more." --Terry Southern _Revelation Countdown_ by Cris Mazza Stories that project onto the open road not the nirvana of personal freedom but rather a type of freedom more resembling loss of control. "Talent jumps off her like an overcharge of electricity." --LA Times Discount Mail-Order Information: You can buy these books directly from the publisher at a discount. Buy one for $7, two for $13, three for $19 or all four for $25. We pay US postage! (Foreign orders add $2.50 per book.)

Recognizing that the African Christian church continues to define itself in distinctly Western terms, forty-nine participants from various denominations and all parts of Africa-- Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Madagascar, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Sierra Leone, Cameroon--and the United States met to share ideas and experiences and to establish strategies for the indigenization of Christianity in African churches. Other special issues by single copy: The William Grant Still Reader presents the collected writings of this respected American composer. Still offered a perspective on American music and society informed by a diversity of experience and associations that few others have enjoyed. His distinguished career spanned jazz, traditional African-American idioms, and the European avant-garde, and his compositions ranged from chamber music to opera. Sacred Music of the Secular City delves into the American religious imagination by examining the religious roots and historical circumstances of popular music. Includes essays on musicians Robert Johnson, Duke Ellington, Marvin Gaye, Madonna, and 2 Live Crew. Subscription prices: $30 institutions, $15 individuals. Single issues: $15.

The 42 chapter, 350 page text includes an index, 147 illustrations and six major appendices including the largest extensive listing of underground mail art zines in existence. A thorough listing of nearly 100 international private and institutional mail art archives appears in another important appendice. But what is mail art? Mail art is a paradox in the way it reverses traditional definitions of art; the mailbox and computer replace the museum, the address becomes the art, and the mailman brings home the avant-garde to mail artists in the form of correspondence art, e-mail art, artistamps, postcards, conceptual projects, and collaborations. "Eternal Network introduces readers to a lively exchange with international mail art networkers from five continents. The book include snail mail and e-mail addresses, fax, and telephone numbers for many active mail artists. Readers are invited to participate -- to corresponDANCE with global village artists who quickstep beyond establishment boundaries of art. Among the forty-two distinguished contributors appearing in "Eternal Network" are New York City art critic Richard Kostelanetz; physicist, poet Bern Porter; Director of the Museum of Modern Art Library, Clive Phillpot; famed Fluxus artists Dick Higgins and Ken Friedman; University of Iowa art historian and archival director Estera Milman, and mail art patron Jean Brown who has collected the world's largest assemblage of mail art material now undergoing documentation at the Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities. Many of the forty-two chapters appearing in "Eternal Network" are original, unpublished essays pertaining to the origin and history of mail art networking, collaborative aesthetics, new directions for mail art networking in the 1990's, mail art projects exploring the interconnection of marginal on and off-line networks, mail art criticism and dialogue, and finally, parables, visions, dances, dreams, and poems that articulate the living mythology of mail art. Edited by Chuck Welch, an active mail artist since 1978, "Eternal Network" makes an important first step towards introducing mail art to non-artists, artists, and academic scholars.

Amid the inevitable and voluptuous mundanity of those conversations reside moments of discovery, the fiery and spontaneous generation of knowledge, and even wisdom. These conversations, or parts of them, are worth saving and savoring. If we look at all of literature, including scholarly publication, as being one long, vast, intricate and diverse conversation, then the discussion online can be seen as part of the same discourse. The conversation is migrating to a new media, but the means of (attempting to) provide coherence are still developing. RHETNET is an effort to adapt the functions of academic print journals to the new environment. Journals simultaneously serve as the medium of conversation and the repository for knowledge. RHETNET serves those purposes, but takes the shape of its native environment: cyberspace. The project is both radical and conservative. RHETNET provides rhetoric and Internet students and scholars with the means of capturing, contextualizing, searching, and retrieving some of the intriguing and valuable conversations that occur on various parts of the Net, but which currently lie scattered and forgotten in dusty corners of the virtual world. It provides a repository of netscholarship on rhetoric and writing. We envision it as a decentered, organic repository for all the stuff of the Net that is of interest to the rhetoric and writing community, while also including space for various traditional types of scholarly discourse. *RHETNET Purpose:* 1. To act as an archive for Net conversations relating to rhetoric and writing. Few existing places of discourse (mailing lists, newsgroups, chat systems, MU*s), make an effort to capture those conversations in a form that would allow them to be reviewed reflectively and commented upon in the future. They lack the archival intent that RHETNET provides. 2. To offer a place for original publication of articles and essays. We're interested in retaining some aspects of traditional scholarly publishing, or at least exploring the possibilities for the co-existence of network and print-oriented forms and sensibilities. 3. To create appropriate help sheets, conference tutorials, or workshops on accessing the journal and advice that will help new members of the Net. 4. To promote netscholarship and community. *RHETNET Editorial Intent* The editorial management group is responsible for coordinating regular publication of refereed articles on rhetoric and writing, particularly as they are constituted in the network environments of a developing cyberspace. As the journal evolves, this traditional structure may meld with the forms of scholarship more native to the Net, the forms that other aspects of the journal discover through exploratory approaches to network publication. Anyone who is interested in being *actively* involved in the editorial or technological aspects of the journal is invited to join the editorial management group. Like the various scholarly communities on the Net, the main qualification for joining this effort is interest in writing, rhetoric, poetics, composition and critical theory, pedagogy, and online publication. Institutional credentials are not relevant. A Listserv list, RHETNT-L@mizzou1.bitnet, has been created to serve this effort, initially as a place to conduct asynchronous discussions about the project. The list is managed by Eric Crump.

For all of its power and fascination, electronic media are still limited by metaphors clumsily imported from print. James Joyce and Ezra Pound were making hypertexts sixty years before the appropriate technology was created. We are looking for work which can be reproduced in the pages of _THE LITTLE MAGAZINE_ but will inspire the engineers of the third millennium. Although we are interested in adventuresome uses of the technology, it is not technology but vision which is lacking. We do not need virtual reality machines cranking out the same kind of misinformation that we get from television in even more addictive forms, but we are sick also of the polite, conventional thing literature has become. It is so comfortably contained in print. It is mediated and re-mediated (already); it is the subject of schools. We are not interested in work which exemplifies the theories of the past or even the hottest, most engaging theory of the present. We are interested in work which will call forth the media of the future. CYBERPUNK GROW UP! The deadline for the issue is December 15, 1994, but get in touch with us as soon as possible. We will try to find a way to publish important work even if it does not fit neatly into the usual literary magazine format. Tell us about your writing, visual art, sound pieces, videos, multimedia performances, network art, and investigations of genres still unnamed.

The symposium will bring together government officials, academics, artists, writers, representatives of arts and cultural institutions and organizations, and other concerned individuals from many disciplines and areas of interest to discuss specific issues of policy which will effect the cultural life of *all* Americans during the coming decades. To participate, submit a 250-word abstract of your proposal for a paper, panel-discussion or presentation, accompanied by a one-page vitae, by March 15, 1994. Special consideration will be given to those efforts that take a critical perspective of the issues, and are concerned with offering specific alternatives to current administration and congressional agendas.

This series is designed to detour us off modernity's yet-to-be- completed North-South Superhighway to Truth and onto postmodernism's "forking paths" crisscrossing high and low culture, texts and life-worlds, selves and sign systems, business and academy, page and screen, "our" narrative and "theirs," formula and contingency, present and past, art and discourse, analysis and activism, grand narratives and dissident narratives, truths and parodies of truths. By developing a postmodern conversation about a world that has overspilled its modernist framing, this series intends to link our present ungraspable "balkanization" of all thoughts and events with the means to narrate and then re-narrate them. Modernity's "puzzle world" to be "unified" and "solved" becomes postmodernism's multiple worlds to be represented within the difficult and diverse wholeness that their own multiplicity and diversity shapes and then re-shapes. Accordingly, manuscripts should display a "postmodernist style" that moves easily and laterally across public as well as academic spheres, "inscribes" within as well as "scribes" against realist and modernist modes, and strives to be readable-across-multiple- narratives and "culturally relative" rather than "foundational."

Deadline for proposals: July 15, 1994. The First Annual Sixties Generations conference was held March 4-6, 1993,in Fairfax, Virginia. It was sponsored by _Viet Nam Generation_ and the American Studies, Film Studies and African American Studies Programs of George Mason University. Sixty academic paper presentations, eight poetry and prose readings, one play reading and a concert filled three days. We also held a full-day roundtable discussion, "On the Sixties in the Nineties," featuring participants who were activists in the Sixties and continue to be so today, including activists in SNCC, SDS, the Black Panther Party, the Yippies, various racial/ethnic formation, antiwar formations, political formations, women's groups and cultural workers. The event was such a success that _Viet Nam Generation_ decided to do it again this year. [Last year's program is appended to this Call for Papers.] We welcome submissions in all disciplines, in all topic areas related to the 1960s in the U.S. and internationally. SCHOLARLY PRESENTATIONS Please send abstracts (250-500 words) describing your individual presentations, or collections of abstracts describing your panel proposals. Panel sessions will be 90 minutes. Folks interested in putting together whole panels should limit the number of presenters to three, and hold the length of individual presentations down to 20 minutes each, so that sufficient time will be left for audience responses. We welcome individual paper submissions on any topic related to the 1960s. Individual presenters should also limit their presentations to 20 minutes. We will assemble individual presenters into panels. LITERARY READINGS, VIDEO, FILM, AND PERFORMANCE ART If you are interested in reading prose or poetry, submit samples of your work (and tapes of previous of readings, if available). Readings will be limited to 25 minutes per reader. We will consider videos, films, and performance art pieces of up to 45 minutes in length. Please send samples, tapes, video clips, or whatever documentation is most suitable for your medium. WORKSHOP PROPOSALS Activists interested in putting on workshops at the conference can propose either 40 minute or 90 minute sessions. Please send a description of the workshop and related materials or publications. We welcome innovative ideas, so if you have an idea that doesn't seem to fit into one of the categories described above, write and tell us about it. Submit proposals either in hard-copy or over email to: _Viet Nam Generation_ 18 Center Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Fax: 203/389-6104 email: kalital@minerva.cis.yale.edu _______________________ The morning session will focus on recollections and reflections on people's involvement in movement work in the 60's. The afternoon session will focus on the value of the lessons and the continuing agendas and methods of the 60's movements as they affect the work of social justice in the 90's. We encourage conference participants to drop in on the Roundtable and join the ongoing discussion. Roundtable participants are also urged to visit other conference events and to join us for a cash bar, reception, and concert at the conclusion of the discussion.

To be published in 1995 Contributions are solicited on the following topics: 1. The centrality of ontological questions in postmodernist fiction and the contribution of the theory of possibleworlds in capturing and formulating the ontological issue. Inparticular: the stacking/embedding of realities, the transgression of ontological boundaries, the uses of recursive structures and their ontological implications. 2. Virtual reality (VR) as a technological implementation of the philosophical concept of possible world. 3. Challenges to the notion of actual world and alternatives to the "modal structure" in narrative universes. Hypertext and the decentralization of semantic universes. The theme of the disappearance of reality in fiction and theory. 4. Hyperrealism as parody of realism in postmodern culture. The philosophical basis of the concept of realism and its connection to virtual reality. 5. The thematization (especially in science fiction) of the concepts of virtual reality, parallel universes, alternative possible worlds, immersion in game-worlds, and interplanetary travel as a metaphor for movement across possible worlds. 6. Game-theory and the concept of immersion in virtual worlds--as either thematized or implemented in postmodernist fiction or popular fiction. 7. The myth of virtual reality in contemporary culture and media. 8. Virtual reality as a simulacrum. The role of simulacra (imitations, images, copies) in postmodern culture and fiction. The problematics of the relation between image and reality, sign and referent, original and copy and its implementation in postmodernist fiction. Papers must be original contributions and will be refereed. Length should be between 20 and 40 pages, double spaced. Before submitting a paper, please contact the guest editor: Marie-Laure Ryan 6207 Red Ridge Trail Bellvue, Colorado 80512 or through e-mail: mmryan@vines.colostate.edu 44)------------------------------------------------------------- U N D E R C U R R E N T Call for Manuscripts UNDERCURRENT is a free journal available on the Internet through e-mail subscriptions. (See end of this message for how to subscribe for free.) We are seeking article submissions or queries with abstracts providing an analysis of the present in terms of discourses, events, representations, classes, or cultures. We seek to publish analysis of the present from diverse intellectual perspectives--feminist, historical, ethnological, sociological, literary, political, semiotic, philosophical, cultural studies, and so forth. We seek applied analysis rather than theory. Any theoretical orientation ought instead to be apparent and immanent in your particular focus on the present. We especially encourage interdisciplinary work. Article length varies according to your needs, anywhere from "short-takes" of 500-1000 words to "feature" of up to 7500 words. As its audience is potentially much broader than that of academic journals held only in university libraries, the style must account for an educated audience which is not necessarily familiar with either the jargon or the debates in a special field. UNDERCURRENT wishes to publish articles that address this broader audience while also conveying a vivid sense of how current academic scholarship can contribute to our understanding of the present. We are attempting to bridge the gulf between academia and the general reading public, a gulf which has allowed various misperceptions about academia to become politically overcharged in the popular media. All submissions will receive a reply, however no copies can be returned. Any major citation format is acceptable, although endnotes must be used rather than footnotes due to the contingencies of various platforms for viewing electronic text. Submissions and queries can be sent in any of the following ways, in order of preference: 1.> e-mail to "heroux@darkwing.uoregon.edu" and note in the subject field that this is a submission to UNDERCURRENT 2.> Mail a floppy diskette with your text in ASCII or WordPerfect (address below). 3.> Mail two copies of your essay by traditional post to: UNDERCURRENT Erick Heroux Dept. of English University of Oregon Eugene, OR 97403 ABOUT FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS: You can subscribe yourself to UNDERCURRENT by sending a one-line e-mail message: SUBSCRIBE UNDERCURRENT YOURNAME@DOMAIN.WHERE Address it to: mailserv@oregon.uoregon.edu Problems or questions can be e-mailed to heroux@darkwing.uoregon.edu 45)------------------------------------------------------------- _FEMISA_ FEMISA@mach1.wlu.ca _FEMISA_ is conceived as a list where those who work on or think about feminism, gender, women and international relations, world politics, international political economy, or global politics, can communicate. Formally, _FEMISA_ was established to help those members of the Feminist Theory and Gender Studies Section of the _International Studies Association_ keep in touch. More generally, I hope that _FEMISA_ can be a network where we share information in the area of feminism or gender and international studies about publications or articles, course outlines, questions about sources or job opportunities, information about conferences or upcoming events, or proposed panels and information related to the _International Studies Association_.

It is sponsored by the University's History Department and its Jewish Studies Program. To subscribe to HOLOCAUS, you need and Internet or Bitnet computer account. From that account, send this message to LISTSERV@UICVM.BITNET or LISTSERV@uicvm.uic.edu: SUB HOLOCAUS Firstname Surname Use your own Firstname and Lastname. You will be automatically added. You can read all the mail, and send your own postings to everyone on the list (we have about 100 subscribers around the world right now). Owner: JimMott@spss.com H-Net is now setting up an international board of editors to guide _HOLOCAUS_ policy and to help stimulate contributions. _HOLOCAUS_ is moderated by Jim Mott (JimMott@spss.com), a PhD in History. The moderator will solicit postings (by e- mail, phone and even by US mail), will assist people in subscribing and setting up options, will handle routine inquiries, and will consolidate some postings. The moderator will also solicit and post newsletter type information (calls for conferences, for example, or listings of sessions at conventions). It may prove feasible to commission book and article reviews, and to post book announcements from publishers. Anyone with suggestions about what _HOLOCAUS_ can and might do is invited to send in the ideas. H-Net has an ambitious plan for training historians across the country in more effective use of electronic communications. Details of the H-Net plan are available on request from Richard Jensen, the director, at: campbelld@apsu or u08946@uicvm.uic.edu 47)------------------------------------------------------------- NewJour-L@e-math.ams.org NewJour-L aims to accomplish two objectives; it is both a list and a project. FIRST: NewJour-L is the place to *announce* your own (or to forward information about others') newly planned, newly issued, or revised *ELECTRONIC NETWORKED* journal or newsletter. It is specially dedicated for those who wish to share information in the planning, gleam-in-the-eye stage or at a more mature stage of publication development and availability. It is also the place to announce availability of paper journals and newsletters as they become available on electronic networks. Scholarly discussion lists *which regularly and continuously maintain supporting files of substantive articles or preprints* may also be reported, for those journal-like sections. We hope that those who see announcements on Bitnet, Internet, Usenet or other media will forward them to NewJour-L, but this does run a significant risk of boring subscribers with a number of duplicate messages. Therefore, NewJour-L IS filtered through a moderator to eliminate this type of duplication. It does not attempt to cover areas that are already covered by other lists. For example, sources like NEW-LIST describe new discussion lists; ARACHNET deals with social and cultural issues of e-publishing; VPIEJ-L handles many matters related to electronic publishing of journals. SERIALST discusses the technical aspects of all kinds of serials. You should continue to subscribe to these as you have done before, and contribute to them. SECOND: NewJour-L represents an identification and road-mapping project for electronic journals and newsletters, begun by Michael Strangelove, University of Ottawa. NewJour-L will expand and continue that work. As new publications are reported, a NewJour-L support group will develop the following services -- planning is underway & we ask that anyone who would like to participate as below, let us know: -A worksheet will be sent to the editors of the new e-publication for completion. This will provide detailed descriptions about bibliographic, content, and access characteristics. -An original cataloguing record will be created. -The fully catalogued title will be reported to national utilities and other appropriate sites so that there is a bibliographic record available for subsequent subscribers or searchers. -The records will feed a directory and database of these titles. Not all the of the implementation is developed, and the work will expand over the next year. We thank you for your contributions, assistance, and advice, which will be invaluable.
