T h i n k i n g O n l i n e (2nd) C A L L F O R P A P E R S
1. What is 'Thinking Online'?
'Thinking Online' is to be a compedium of Net criticism, positioning itself
(as Geert Lovink has put it) 'within the Net, inside the software and
wires'. Papers included in the collection will focus on a specific instance
or instances of the Net's divergent protocols - MUDs, MOOs, the Web,
IRC, VRML and so forth - and attempt to develop a theoretic, critical
and/or aesthetic means of approach to those protocols.
The purpose of the volume is twofold: to provide an exposition of new and
seminal online technologies, and to outline a series of potent critical
methodolgies for examining them. 'Thinking Online' is planned as an
accessible but in-depth resource, primarily for the academic community.
2. What will a successful abstract look like?
Papers appearing in this collection will share a series of distinct
characteristics. They will
- focus on one or two prevalent Net protocols
- display an in-depth technical and critical understanding of those
protocols, sufficient to inform and educate readers with an
intermediate understanding of the Net
- make clear their critical methodologies, to the extent that readers can
begin to form some notion not only of the functionings of various
technologies, but of means of approach to them
- concentrate on providing a grounded, exhaustive account that helps to
create a 'backbone' for the development of Net criticism.
3. Who is the editor?
Jamie King, the editor of 'Thinking Online', is a researcher into the
subject of information technology and contemporary culture at King Alfred's
College, Winchester. He also writes journalistically in the same field, and
has been the editor of a major UK national publication. Jamie's full CV is
available upon request.
4. Is there payment for the project?
Writers for this collection will receive a commission fee. Details of the
likely fee are also available upon request.
5. How far is the project developed, and what are the deadlines?
Continuing interest in this collection has been shown by a significant
academic publisher, but the editorial team are still at the stage of
submitting a formal proposal. For this we require ten or more solid
abstracts, outlining plans for papers of approximately 5,000 - 7,000
words. Shorter papers will be considered where the requirements
(see above) can be shown to be fulfilled.
Abstracts emailed to the adress below before 31st November will be
considered for inclusion within the proposal along with those already
submitted. Successful applicants will be notified by email and will be
comissioned to produce a complete paper.
We hope this revised abstract has proved interesting and useful to you.
Jamie King,
Editor,
Thinking Online.

> INTELLECTUALS & GLOBAL CULTURE <
_Angelaki_ 2.3
Editors
Charlie Blake School of Cultural Studies, Nene College, UK
Linnie Blake Dept. of English and History, The Manchester
Metropolitan University, UK
17 pieces from international authors examining the role of the
intellectual in a globalised world. Contributions from Jean
Baudrillard, Tricia Rose and McKenzie Wark, and a fine
philosophical farewell to Gilles Deleuze from his longtime Paris
VIII colleague Rene Scherer...
The figure of the intellectual has, for some years, been the object
of anxious self-scrutiny. As intellectuals debate their changing role
in the contemporary world, issues relating to intellectual
genealogy, the loss of intellectual authority, the necessity of
cultural specificity and the will to universal truth have been
passionately argued.
Examining these often inflammatory debates, and tracing
consistencies of thought and action, _Intellectuals and Global
Culture_ draws together contributions from both within and without
the academy, from Africa, Latin America, Australasia and the
United States, from Western Europe and the former Eastern bloc,
to explore the identity, role, status and responsibilities of the
intellectual, both historically and now.
The collection will be of wide interest to students and researchers
in the humanities and the arts, and to others concerned for the
future of intellectual production and critical knowledge.

scheduled for September 25th and 30th.

_________________________________________________________________________
TWO HEARINGS ON DOMAIN NAMES IN THE HOUSE SCIENCE COMMITTEE
COMING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 25 AND TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 30
Domain names, like "democracy.net", "netscape.com", and "feedmag.com"
are the virtual front porches, store fronts, and signposts of
cyberspace. They are also the most visible part of a complex Internet
infrastructure that most users never come in contact with, but none
the less vital to the functioning of the network.
As a result, issues surrounding the future of the domain name
infrastructure are inextricably linked to the future of the medium.
As the Internet enters its final stages in the transition between a
government supported research tool to a privatized commercially driven
medium, important questions are being raised about how the infrastructure
will be governed. At its core is the controversy surrounding the domain
name system.
Will it become harder to acquire your own domain? Who will own the
ongoing domain name fees that the current domain name owners pay? Will
the method of arbitrating disputes over domain name ownership change?
Will a competitive market create a more stable infrastructure or one
even less stable than we depend upon now?
The Subcommittee on Basic Research in the House Science Committee will
explore these and other issues during a two part hearing on September
25 and 30th. The Committee has arranged for the hearings to be
cybercast live via democracy.net -- a joint project of the Center for
Democracy and Technology and the Voters Telecommunications watch to
encourage citizen participation in the democratic process.
The purpose of these hearings is to review the history and current status
of the domain name system, the relationship between the National
Science Foundation (NSF) and Network Solutions Incorporated (NSI),
NSF's role in the transition of the domain name system to private
sector control at the termination of the cooperative agreement with NSI
in March 1998, alternative proposals from within the Internet
Community, and the role of the Federal government in the future of the
Domain Name System.
We urge you to be a part of this debate by reading up on the issues
surrounding the domain name system, and then participating in the two
hearings in the House Science Committee on September 25th and 30th. As
usual, you'll be able to watch and listen to these events in real time
with RealAudio and still video, chat with other Internet users, and
submit your own input to the committee for consideration.
WHEN: 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 25, 1997 (7:00am Pacific)
WHERE: 2318 Rayburn House Office Building or http://www.democracy.net/
WHO:
Witness List:
-Dr. Joseph Bordogna, Acting Deputy Director, National Science
Foundation, Arlington, VA
-The Honorable Larry Irving, Assistant Secretary for Communication
and Information, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC
-Dr. Jonathan B. Postel, Director, Computer Networks Division,
Marina del Rey, CA
-Mr. Gabriel A. Battista, Chief Executive Office, Network Solutions
Incorporated, Herndon, VA
The second hearing will take place on Tuesday Sep 30, 1997 at 10:00am
(Eastern). Watch http://www.democracy.net for details.
You will need RealAudio and a telnet application to access this event.
Although we will not have a live audio-to-text transcription service
available for deaf participants, we will endeavor to have one made after
the hearing. If you know of any pro-bono stenographers, please let
contact us at webmaster@democracy.net.

Subject: lady dx died in an attitude accident
ho,
It is with tears in my eyes that I am informing all subscribers that
the legendary web site of the Documenta X is not longer among us, at
least it is not there where they've put it.
While I was just downloading the last details of the
Mullican project the following message appeared:
#############################################
Sorry, after documenta X this website has totally changed and most
pages doesn't exist any more.
Please start at the homepage

Reply-To: 7-11@mail.ljudmila.org
Diagnostic Tools For The New Millennium
a vapourware project by Josephine Starrs and Leon Cmielewski
Life in the new millennium will require complex and precise tools. When
this post-human, post-optimist, post-feminist, post-ideological decade
crashes, these 'diagnostic tools' will be needed to verify our corrupted
psyche.
"We're becoming the objects of our own technology and we better get used to
it"
Gregory Stock (biophysicist) on cloning humans.
"I want them and so do you"
Nicholas Negroponte on digital intermediaries.
."....i cant fuck anyone unless i've had 6 months
of email foreplay beforehand"
Gashgirl.
We are interested in the fact that our experiences are increasingly
mediated by new technologies. In the rush to leave the meat behind, the
disembodied self is relishing its new found flexibility and mobility while
conversely, the boundaries between nature and technology are blurring
further and the desire for and obsession with information seems to be
reaching fetishistic proportions.

Tina LaPorta, Artist-in-Resident on the Ars Electronica Web Site
http://wintermute.aec.at/traces
TRACES is a web-based video installation which explores concepts of
presence and absence within a digital environment.
This project is the first installment in a series of Web pieces which will
continue to explore, in a variety of media, the dispersed presence of an
artistic vision within a networked environment.
TRACES runs best with QuickTime installed, using Netscape.
Plans are underway to develop a CD-Rom version of the work.
