For some reason, my Introduction does not appear to warrant a URL -- maybe _TCS is trying to tell me something ... No matter, for those interested in a technopolitics/infowar angle on September 11 and afterwards, see the article by Mick Dillon; for those interested in the debate over Hardt and Negri's _Empire see the critique by John O'Neill. However, it has to be said that the entire Special Section is very strong. As usual, I would be grateful if CSL members would spread this message far and wide. Best wishes, John.] =============================== - ----Original Message----- From: scas.editor@sagepub.co.uk [mailto:scas.editor@sagepub.co.uk] Sent: 05 October 2002 05:37 To: TCS-L@SCAS.SAGEPUB.CO.UK Subject: Theory, Culture & Society Volume 19 Issue 04 Thank you for subscribing to the SAGE Contents Alerting Service.

Just as starting musicians sought alternatives to=20 breaking into their business, and certain=20 established artists disaffected from bloated=20 recording companies with the Napster phenomenon,=20 the Indies have brought about a new sort of net=20 experience - the Virtual Theatre. Other contributors to the cinema=B4s presence on=20 the web include enthusiastic amateur movie=20 makers, animators and film-school students who,=20 through whose art, are simply trying to make=20 themselves heard. Like certain music-sharing=20 services, most of the works presented are if not=20 freely-downloadable, free to view online. Computer-Generated ("C.G.") animation also plays=20 a key role, as the same machines which can bring=20 these movies into your home via the internet=20 can,through digital special effects, be used to=20 enhance and now even more easily create that very=20 medium. What follows (again - like those music- sharing services) is a somewhat less-than-random=20 surf through some currently available on-line=20 short movies, or "shorts" .

Plus new entries on our 'book/disk' page. Check them out! http://www.realtokyo.co.jp/ =============================================================== (1) Tokyo Editors' Diary =============================================================== Nakanishi Daisuke (Little More), vol. 003 Although we're approaching our next deadline, I'm still doing interviews. Today I'm talking to Fukuda Kazuya and musician Toyota Michinori in a karaoke box in Gakugei-daigaku. Toyota brought a guitar, and the four pieces he plays us in a closed room (kind of an experiment on humans) are really cool. Also joining is an old friend from the Fukuda seminar, Arai Ryo, and he seems to be one of the few music friends of Toyota. Inoue Yumiko takes a series of polaroids, and we don't have time to wait for the design. When the session is over Fukuda flies off like the wind, and togther with Omine, one of our editors, I run to balance the books.

We have established a page on the theme of "I want to translate this book," giving spirited translators and translators-to-be a platform to introduce selected books that are not yet available in a Japanese translation, along with their own profiles and translation samples. Interested publishers can get in touch with applicants to make direct assignments. This, by the way, happens without any profit on the REALTOKYO side. The idea is to connect translators and publishers, in order to produce Japanese editions of interesting but for some reason not (yet) translated books. Read more at: http://www.realtokyo.co.jp/en/column/ozaki47.htm =============================================================== (3) Event Pick of the Week =============================================================== Contemporary Israeli Design: Chanan de Lange Exhibition It often happens that the best and most refined works are produced not in an environment where everything is possible and available, but rather in circumstances of restriction. This event kicks off a series introducing design from Israel that was born out of a limited market where equipment and materials are insufficient and the economical situation unstable. On display at this first exhibition are stools based on freehand-drawn sketches, stack rooms that hang down from the ceiling, and other items that exceed our established perception of design. Following this exhibition, Tal Gur and Yaacov Kaufman are showing their works at the "Tokyo Designers Block" event. - -- Murata Yuko http://www.realtokyo.co.jp/event_cgi/ev_viewE.cgi?6,243 =============================================================== (4) Presents =============================================================== This week we give away a total of ten tickets to five readers for the "Puiforcat Exhibition," as well as three copies of "Nami 4 Ever For Longer Ride," an illustrated book by Nigel Scott and Nomura Yoshio.

It can be found at (http://www.artdocumentary.org) The Art Documentary Association's mission is to provide a forum to find out how art documentary makers can create enticing art documentaries that are intelligent, exciting and accessible. The success of this association depends on the activity of the community. I am hoping that art documentary makers will share experiences and collaboratively work together to create better arts education models through the media. I welcome articles, opinions and resource information to be posted on the site. Please tell all that may be interested to visit the site at: http://www.artdocumentary.org. If you have any questions or need additional information please do not hesitate to contact me at seththompson@wigged.net. Thank you for your time.

There is a central opposition reflected in the wide conceptual range of the term "cosmopolitics." On the one hand, it gathers together hopes and projections aimed towards establishing "fundamentally democratic" international cultural politics with a multi-cultural reach. On the other, the "cosmopolitical" - in as far as it always also has to do with politico-cultural supremacy - also comprises the quest for power, and we are warned of global endeavours by the USA - the last remaining world power - in this direction. A close scrutiny of new, internationalist institutions purporting to have a cosmopolitan outlook shows that "cosmopolitics," or its strategic employment, is often also based on exclusions. springerin 3_02 includes articles by: Ruben Arevshatyan, Ieva Auzina, Jochen Becker, C=E3lin Dan, Matthias Dusini, Petra Erdmann, Christian H=F6ller, Vill=F6 Huszai, Nebjosa Jovanovic, Alessandro Ludovico, Yates McKee, Suzana Milevska, Achille Mbembe, Bert Rebhandl, Klaus Ronneberger, Dierk Schmidt, Neil Smith, Vera Tollmann. - -- !!!

Dear Nettime, I would like to introduce my project to you. It is an oral-history account that speculatively tries to understand globalisation within an inner-city Australian community. It is almost due for submission as part of a Doctorate program here at RMIT University in Melbourne. Your comments are most appreciated and I will try and enact on them if you have any major suggestions. www.milkbar.com.au Milkbar.com.au: Globalisation and the Everyday City Creator Bellamy, Craig Subject Humanities; History; Oral History; Local History; Melbourne, Fitzroy Description This is a project that seeks to offer a speculative encounter with the set of ideas called 'globalisation' through utilising some of the new tools offered to researchers. Using a mini digital video camera, I have recorded a number of people in the suburb of Fitzroy, an inner city suburb of Melbourne, Australia. The creator has asked people what they identify with in the suburb, how this has changed over time, and what they see as negative or positive changes. Succinctly, the raison d'être of the project is to create an oral history archive of the area in a period of rapid change and to try and understand some of these changes within larger analytical frameworks. take care, Craig ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2002 22:56:37 -0400 From: guide <guide@life.a-domesticguide.com> Subject: life.a-domesticguide;$justice+2 ####### life.a-domesticguide or, a concatenated practice of living == http://life.a-domesticguide.com ####### what goodness hath wrought what badness hath wrought what attitude hath wrought what latitude hath wrought what nature hath wrought what day hath wrought what domestication hath wrought & that which is to the pleasure of eyes & that which is to the pleasure of ears & that which is to the pleasure of cerebrum $ justice +2 $ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2002 21:46:23 +1000 From: "geert lovink" <geert@xs4all.nl> Subject: =?Windows-1252?Q?Johan_Grimonprez:=B4zapomatik`?= This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_03F4_01C2716F.A470A730 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable From: info@edith-russ-haus.de=20 Friday, 18th October 2002, 7 pm Johan Grimonprez presents his new website 'zapomatik' Johan Grimonprez (B) presents his new =84zapomatik=93 website = (www.zapomatik.com) and video lounge on the subject of =84zapping=93. = With historic material as well as a digital work off the Internet, = Grimonprez takes up the ad industry=92s influence on media productions = and consumer behavior.

In particular encourages reviews that contextualise and extend debate, and accepts reviews of books that have affinities or common debates upon which critical discourse can be developed. It normally allows between 3,000 and 6,000 words for a review, and potential contributors are asked to seek out a copy of the journal to familiarise themselves with the style and nature of the publication - we tend to reject short, purely descriptive pieces. If you are a historical materialist and want to review for us, let us know what areas you are willing to review in, and tell us what your research interests are (some indication of previous publications would be useful). I list below a sample of books currently available for review that we are actively seeking reviewers for. If you want more details about the book, please contact me. If you already know the book and/or the author/editor, please give us some outline of how you would plan to deal with the book in a review.
