The editors of GRUENE STREET seek to provide an outlet for high-quality work that merits a sophisticated on-line audience, hoping to publish writing that at least aspires to the quality of work that appears in literary journals such as Kansas Quarterly, Cimmaron Review, Prairie Schooner, etc.--providing an alternative to the 'zines and zine-like publications that seem to dominate the net. GRUENE STREET accepts multiple and simultaneous submissions as well as previously-published work. **** Submission Guidelines in Brief **** FICTION no obvious genre-fiction (sci-fi, fantasy, romance, etc.) Excerpted novels OK. See poetry. POETRY no real form/content limitations (except length). Please, no *gratuitous* sex/violence with no other purpose but shock value --if your attempting some sort of poetic rendition of Oliver Stone's open to almost anything if it's well done. ESSAYS open to a variety subjects that might be of interest to a general/academic audience including education (i.e. critical pedagogy, reform), literary and cultural studies, non-sectarian political perspectives, liberation theology, postmodern/postcolonial as long as it is somewhat accessible and not caught up in its own cleverness, has *something* to say etc.++ We have a particular interest in publishing well-written essays (including analytical book reviews) and anticipate receiving far more fiction/poetry than non-fiction--so if in doubt, give us a try. SUBMIT manuscripts via e-mail to editors at in ASCII text or HTML format. If your work is already somewhere on the WWW (such as your home page) send your URL.

Fax 312/753-0811] Back -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The Walker Percy Internet Project The Walker Percy Internet Project seeks to raise appreciation for the formidable contributions to modern thought and fiction that Walker Percy, MD, has left as a compelling legacy to humanity. Percy's provocative integration of philosophy, science, and art together througout his writings is nothing less than strikingly original, and his "diagnostic" vision as a thinker and novelist remains a unique, if not invaluable, critical perspective on the human crisis in the late 20th-century. The WorldWideWeb site is designed to accommodate the general internet browser by providing an introduction to Percy and his thought as well as serve as a comprehensive, up-to-date database for the professional researcher of Percy. It may be reached by using a Web-browser such as Mosaic or Netscape by entering the following URL: http://sunsite.unc.edu/wpercy/ The site is located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, archive of the "Walker Percy Papers."

Download through your www-browser. Additional pixel-data can be provided for especially large scales or ultra-fine resolutions. The lucinda folio consists of 619 original photo-works, presented on the Net as a regularly changing selection of 20-30 images. A published monograph is a possibility and there is also interest in a digital-print (Iris) version of the folio. These images print-up best when floated on a four-colour black or dark neutral background; well-suited to stochastic screening. The resolutely, optical edges of the imagery in the _lucinda folio_ are the distinctive result of home-made photographic apparatuses used to capture these studied conjunctions of composed colour, surface texture, and ambient lighting. At times, they seem to embody a lost, intrinsic, immediacy and fascination with moments of internalized perception and play. Improbable poetry at best. All the photographs (untitled) were taken throughout North America in the early seventies through the mid-eighties. With a few noted exceptions, none of the photographs have ever been previously published. http://www.teleport.com/~bbrace/bbrace.html Back -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Proverb Studies De Proverbio: An Electronic Journal of International Proverb Studies, Volume 1 - Number 1 - 1995 (ISSN 1323-4633) is edited by Dr. Teodor Flonta at the Department of Modern Languages-Italian (University of Tasmania, Australia) (email: Teodor.Flonta@modlang.utas.edu.au) and it is a scholarly refereed journal. The first issue contains articles on a variety of issues concerning paremiology (proverb studies) ranging from the perception of proverbiality to proverb use in Hitler's 'Mein Kampf', which can be of interest for non scholars also.

We will consider a broad range of issues related to intersections of fiction and history. Questions to be addressed might include: what are the differences between the writing of fiction and the writing of history? How is the fictionality of history, and the historicity of fiction, revealed in the narratives of fiction and history? What is the nature of the "historical" in modernity and postmodernity, and how is the historical narrated? What are the horizons of the historical, and how are certain events and eventualities--the "end of history," nuclear apocalypse, the Holocaust--represented? What is the relation between event, representation, and the non-representable in history? What strategies do so-called "people without history" employ to forge the discourse of their own historical narratives? What possibilities exist for an interdisciplinary space between the rhetorics of fiction and the disciplines of history? Essays submitted for this issue should offer exploration of these and other issues related to the linkages between fiction and history via intensive readings of fiction/histories placed within developed and appropriate theoretical contexts. Gertrude Stein (Fall, 1996), Guest-Edited by Marianne DeKoven Deadline: 30 March 1996 This issue will be devoted to essays on Gertrude Stein in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of her death. While a wide range of critical and theoretical approaches will be welcome, this issue will be particularly interested in revisionary views of Stein deriving from cultural studies, as well as from feminist and lesbian theoretical and critical approaches. The 50th anniversary of her death, nearly coinciding with the turn of the century, is also an occasion for new assessments of Stein's position within emerging histories of the twentieth century, in relation, for example, to studies of American literature, culture, thought, politics; traditions and counter-traditions of women's writing and lesbian writing; feminism and women's history; expatriation; the avant-garde and its subcultures; literary experimentation; modernism and postmodernism; canon and anti-canon; genre, narrative, autobiography; and the visual arts. Essays are invited on this and other topics related to the work of Gertrude Stein. Essays submitted for these special issues should range from 20 to 35 pages in length and should conform to the MLA Style Manual. Please submit three copies of the essay along with SASE for return of the manuscripts. Address submissions and inquiries to: Patrick O'Donnell, Editor, Modern Fiction Studies, Department of English, Heavilon Hall, Purdue University, West Lafayette IN 43907-1389. Inquiries may also be addressed to pod@vm.cc.purdue.edu, and pod@matrix.mdn.com Back -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Feminist Generations An Interdisciplinary, International, All-Ages Conferences Bowling Green State University February 2-4, 1996 U.S. feminists in the 1990s understand the contemporary projects of feminism as part of a process that has its roots in the women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s and the suffrage movement of the early 20th century. As people come of age who can take women's rights for granted, two "generations" of active feminists now co-exist, demonstrating the basic yet tenuous success of the contemporary movement. Yet we also find ourselves facing cultural and generational gaps, which we believe represent both challenges and opportunities. Through this conference, we hope to forge and reinforce relationships among ourselves as we share three days of cultural events representing the diversity and richness of many different "feminist generations." The conference's featured speakers will be Faith Ringgold, feminist performance artist, quilt maker, and children's book author, and Michelle Wallace, feminist critic, scholar, and novelist. Ringgold's work will also be exhibited in the Fine Arts Center Gallery, Bowling Green State University. We invite presentations (papers, performances, media productions, creative works, and panels) addressing the diverse meanings of "generations" in feminist scholarship and action. interrogating the meanings of the terms and experiences of "first," "second," and "third" wave feminisms/feminists. exploring and contrasting the evolution and experiences of international feminisms. interpreting the bodies of feminist politics, arts, expression, and works through the "feminist generations" of the past and present. exploring the challenges posed by a culture increasingly defined as "post-feminist." We welcome submissions be pre-college-age scholars, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members, independent researchers, performers, activists, artists, and members of all feminist generations. Child-care and educational programs for older children will be available. Please send 250-word abstract, proposal, or project description (with slides, video, or audio excerpts, if appropriate). Performers should submit an abstract along with a list of space and supporting prop requirements. The deadline for proposals is October 2, 1995.

Rather, it is a crossroads, a meeting point in between different centres, disciplines and intellectual movements. People in many countries and with different backgrounds have worked their way to the crossroads independently. They have made contacts, exchanged views and gained inspiration from each other in pursuing their goals. The vitality of cultural studies depends on a continuous traffic through this crossroads. Therefore the conference organizers invite people with different geographical, disciplinary and theoretical backgrounds together to share their ideas. We encourage international participation from a wide range of research areas. The conference is organized by the Department of Sociology and Social Psychology, University of Tampere, and Network Cultural Studies. The organizing committee represents several universities and disciplines. Organizing committee International advisory board Pertti Alasuutari (chair) Ien Ang (Australia) Marko Valo (secretary) Jostein Gripsrud (Norway) Pirkkoliisa Ahponen Lawrence Grossberg (USA) Katarina Eskola Kim Schroder (Denmark) Pasi Falk Marja-Liisa Honkasalo Eeva Jokinen Mikko Lehtonen Kaisu Rattya Matti Savolainen Annika Suoninen Soile Veijola SPEAKERS WILL INCLUDE: Ien Ang * Pasi Falk * Paul Gilroy * Jostein Gripsrud * Jaber F.

So please complete the preliminary abstract form if you would like to give a paper or offer to organize a session. There will also be a book exhibition, and publishers are requested to contact the organizers. The second announcement and invitation programme, including more information about the conference, its side-events, and a registration form will be available in September. At this stage we assume that the conference fee - including lunch and coffee - will be about 1000 FIM ($210) and hotel accommodation double $70 and single $60 (with breakfast included). The Conference will be held in Tampere Hall that is the largest congress and concert centre in the Scandinavia. Opposite to the University of Tampere, Tampere Hall is within easy walking distance from the centre of the city and its many services. The unique architecture clearly reflects the activities for which the building was built: conferences, exhibitions, concerts and ballet.

Back -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Toposthesia A VIRTUAL ANTHROPOLOGY INFORMATION SINGULARITY CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR A NEW ELECTRONIC HYPERMEDIA WEBSPACE Topothesia means a "viewing or touring of fictitious or imaginary places." It's a place for unravelling the complex intersections of humanity, technology, and imagination. Topothesia is not quite an electronic journal. It's an Information Singularity (IS) - a place for information accretion. You throw us data, and if it happens to be sympatico with the direction of the Webspace, it sticks. For the "mission statement" ("vision") of Topothesia, view the following URL using your web browser: http://www.clas.ufl.edu/anthro/Topothesia.html. Here are some possible imaginary spaces... the anthropology of science, technology, and computing (what I call anthro-of-STC); examples might include ethnographies of defense installations, computer labs, video production studios, or so forth... speculations about future technologies and their potential human impacts (what I call anthrofuturism) - examples might be space colonization, virtual reality, genetic engineering, life extension, androids, etc... the anthropology of net.culture/cyberculture/virtual culture (what I call cyberanthropology) - examinations of sociocultural, linguistic, or even political (censorship, access, privacy, control, equity, etc.) dynamics of various parts of cyberspace, such as MUDs/MOOs, the Web, Internet Relay Chat, electronic newsmedia, Usenet, BBSes, online services, etc. discussions of anthropological concepts and concerns found in science fiction... discussions of ways to that technological methods are affecting the social sciences for good or ill - content analysis software, CD-ROM, video editing equipment, online databases, etc... "human factors" (or their neglect thereof) in technological design... you get the idea, run what you've got by us, if any of this even sounds remotely like what your stuff is about. We want to first see a pre-HTML abstract of the work. Tell us whether you want your work to go in the "Perspectives and Offerings" section or the "Main Engine" section. If it's just for Perspectives and Offerings (we expect things for this area to be short), we'll look over the abstract and tell you whether it's going in the current IS or not... or if we don't want it at all. If it's for the Main Engine, we'll ask you (if we like the abstract) for the document, and then the whole text will be peer-reviewed (mostly by the editorial board, but perhaps some outside review as well) and then sent back to you with suggestions for revisions, corrections, etc. If you've got things you want to see "in print" fast, send 'em to P & O; if you want the benefits of the formal scholarly process (as well as the delays), tell us it's for ME... If we like your stuff, we give you the ftp address. DO NOT MAIL SUBMISSIONS TO THE JOURNAL ADDRESS. We will not take anything that way.

Back -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * (Post)Colonialism and Culture in an American Context Call for Papers Despite an explosion of scholarship elaborating colonial discourses and postcolonial theory, the colonial contours of the contemporary United States remain virtually unexplored, untheorized, and undocumented. In an effort to broach these issues, I am organizing a collections of essays for publication that will initiate interdisciplinary engagements of the intersections of (post)colonialism and culture in an American context broadly defined. I am interested in papers addressing the distinct, heterogeneous, and conflicting forms of (post)colonialism in the contemporary U.S. I am seeking cultural, literary, interpretive, and critical accounts from across the disciplines that offer specific histories, ethnographies, and/or theories of (post)colonial America. I welcome contributions concentrating on a variety of substantive and conceptual issues, from the practices, relations, and conditions which legitimate, challenge, and reconfigure (post)colonial sociocultural formations to the imagined communities, cultural identities, and political struggles produced within (post)colonial contexts. Possible questions include: (1) what are the relationships between postcolonialism and specific colonial histories? (2) does colonialism imprint the signifying practices constitutive of America and Americans? In what ways does colonialism fashion sociocultural formations in the contemporary U.S.? how have these changed over time? What spaces and forms of resistance disrupt colonial patterns, practices, and precepts? (3) does postcolonialism characterize (some, any, all, none of) the sociocultural formations of the U.S.? Are theories of postcolonialism applicable in/to an American context? What insights do they provide? In America, how do postcoloniality and postmodernity intersect, collude, collide, and contest? I would like, moreover, to produce a multicultural collection, attentive to diverse cultures and contexts; thus, I strongly encourage contributors concerned with Americans of African, Asian, Caribbean, European, Hispanic, Native, and Pacific descent. Individuals interested in contributing should send a one page abstract by 30 June 1995 to C. Richard King (cking@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu) Department of Anthropology, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801. I also encourage scholars interested in participating but unsure how their research or ideas might fit within the scope of this project to contact me as soon as possible, so that we can begin discussing their relevance and contribution.

Suitcase is heavily engaged in trafficking ideas, images, and cultural artifacts across (in)visible disciplinary, ideological, national, and international borders. It provides a space for exchange and translation between those working within institutions of knowledge and culture, and the public, connecting people locally, nationally, and transglobally to start conversations between different contexts and positions. It urges the development and use of new, radical idioms that attempt to dismantle some of the barricades that stand between theorists from different disciplines, artists, activists, and the public. In addition to academic papers, Suitcase publishes political commentary, cultural analysis, translations, cartoons, pulp theory, photographs, fiction, reportage, World Statistics, interviews, travelogues, disaporic correspondences, meditations, and memoires, an eclectic spectrum of texts, genres, and images that constitute an increasingly transglobal cultural repertoire. Suitcase is published biannually in old fashioned (but ecoesque) ink and paper and is selectively available on the internet via the WorldWideWeb where it holds forums and exhibits synopses of submissions.

We are looking for analyses which help us understand the mechanisms--and subjectivities--behind current events: from Chiapas to the Chase Manhattan Bank, and from the implosion of the subject to the collapse of the dollar in the international markets. From postfordism to postcoloniality, SR is committed to furthering the debate around the relationships between postmodernism and capitalism. Possible topics for papers include: Would capitalism be better understood as a dispersed set of practices rather than a systemic totality? How might this transform our understanding of what constitutes significant social change? How is the production of subjectivities implicated in capitalist technologies and organizations? Is marxism and postmodern analysis irreducibly antagonistic? What are new models of resistance and mobilization in activist political struggles? What are the connections between capitalist processes and these emerging activist tactics and strategies? How can postmodern theoretical approaches be useful for rethinking capitalism? How would an analysis of capitalism be useful for strengthening postmodern analysis? How can aspects of social organization such as race, gender, and sexual orientation, among others, be incorporated within an overall frame of historical materialist analysis and class politics? Deadline for submission to Socialist Review for this special issue is August 1, 1995. Articles should be around 25 pages long. Please submit to: Socialist Review, 1095 Market St., Suite 618, San Francisco, CA 94103, Attn: Capitalism and the Postmodern. For more information call (415) 255-2296 or e-mail at socrev@zbbs.com.

Many of the themes covered are related to the use of computers in the humanities. I gather the references by scanning hundreds of journals and conference proceedings. The references are then indexed with the help of a thesaurus holding more than 3800 keywords. Members of IATH can help me update my bibliographies by "emailing" me the list of papers they have authored or coauthored. This will allow me to crosscheck the information I already have and give me indications on where to look for more material. Some of the themes and sub-themes covered are listed below. The figures represent the number of references for the sections published in 1994. -Computer assisted language teaching (8010 ref.) Computer assisted teaching of writing and composition (2070 ref.)

The World Wide Web as we now know it is a vast archive and indexing system. As such it's pretty darned cool, but there are limits. You can point to another document, but you can't make that document point back to you. At present, the best you can do is ask the author of a document to include a link to your work. The Compact endorses this practice and seeks to build a community of support for it. The Compact is a voluntary, non-binding agreement -- more or less like a parliamentary resolution. If you take the Compact seriously, you can use it to advertise your willingness to accept links from other readers and writers -- turning your little corner of the Web into a much more open hypertext environment. For more details about the Compact for Responsive Electronic Writing, visit http://www.ubalt.edu/www/ygcla/crew/crew.html; or contact Stuart Moulthrop (samoulthrop@ubmail.ubalt.edu). Back -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Humanities Canada What is the Humanities Canada Project? The Canadian Federation for the Humanities (CFH) invites you to visit and explore an ambitious project that will be of real benefit to the entire humanities community in Canada. The bilingual project, entitled Humanites Canada / Humanities Canada (HC), is designed as an electronic information service that will perform several important functions for Canadian humanists. First among these functions will be the creation of a window on humanities resources available on the "Information Highway." Scholars in the humanities have begun to reap some of the benefits of the emerging "Highway," but it is still a common complaint that materials pertinent to humanities studies are difficult to locate and access. Humanities Canada will make a significant contribution at just this point by making possible simple and rapid connections to the resources of major libraries, government departments, on-line text archives, electronic journals, archives of digitised art and sound, academic job announcements, and many other services. The Role of CFH Member Societies CFH member societies have the opportunity not only to exploit the resources already available on the world-wide computer networks, but also to make distinct contributions in their areas of interest and specialisation. Space is being reserved on the project servers for each member society to "publish" materials of use to its members and to others working in the same discipline. One society, the Canadian Association for Translation Studies (Association canadienne de traductologie), has already taken advantage of the Humanities Canada project to make available information regarding their goals, information on membership in CATS, a directory of the CATS executive and contact people, a call for papers for their Annual Congress at the 1995 Learneds at the UQAM, invitations to participate in two special seminars to be held at the Montreal Learneds, and a detailed description of the society's journal (TTR) including the Tables of Contents of previous issues. Another society, the Canadian Association of Classicists, is using the project facilities to publish on-line their electronic newsletter and to archive its back-issues. The Humanities Canada project will also be an ideal place to disseminate discussion documents and position papers related to annual meetings, to archive documents related to the society or its field of interest, to "publish" academic writing, to display art, and to seek out potential members from a world-wide audience. How Does One Connect to Humanities Canada? Humanities Canada is presently under construction and exists in both "gopher" and World-Wide Web (WWW) formats: gopher://fceh-cfh.umontreal.ca:7071 http://137.122.12.15/HumCanada.html Contributions to HC are made available at both sites to ensure maximum access to the project's contents and offerings. In addition to the two server sites, an e-mail discussion list (HUMCAN-L) is also being launched in order to provide a forum where one can ask questions related to HC and about how to contribute to it. It will also be the perfect place to post announcements and comments related not only to the HC project, but also to questions touching on information technology and the humanities in the Canadian context. To subscribe to HUMCAN-L, send e-mail to LISTPROC@CC.UMONTREAL.CA with the following line in the letter body (not in the subject line): Subscribe HumCan-L [first name] [last name] You will receive a confirmation of your subscription and a welcome message explaining all you need to know to interact with the list and post your messages and questions.
