_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

_Black Sacred Music_
A Journal of Theomusicology
Presenting the proceedings of an important conference held in
Blantyre, Malawi in November of 1992, this volume represents a
significant step for the African Christian church toward
incorporating indigenous African arts and culture into it
liturgy. 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.

M/E/A/N/I/N/G
A Journal of Contemporary Art Issues
M/E/A/N/I/N/G, an artist-run journal of contemporary art, is a
fresh, lively, contentious, and provocative forum for new ideas
in the arts.
M/E/A/N/I/N/G is published twice a year in the fall and spring.
It is edited by Susan Bee and Mira Schor.
M/E/A/N/I/N/G #13 is a vivid mix of writings by artists and art
historians. Curtis Mitchell's "Working the Park" considers the
sublime and the abject through the travails of an installation
artist's efforts at public sculpture; Jordan Crandall's
"Transactional Space" speaks of new systems of art communication
and production at the limits of information technology; Jo Anna
Isaak sheds new light on colonialist discourse in Matisse's "The
Comfy Chair"; painting illiteracy is considered in Mira Schor's
"Course Proposal;" Daryl Chin's "Those Little White Lies"
critiques art history as an instrument of capitalism; an artist's
spiritual sources are explored in David Reed's "Media Baptisms."
Also in this issue: Definitions of "Art" by Stewart Buettner;
Book and video reviews by Barry Schwabsky, Susan Bee, Johanna
Drucker, Stephen O'Leary Harvey, and Robert C. Morgan.
>From issue #13, Spring 1993
"The sublime consists of a major dose of entropy, with the
picturesque as only a condiment."
-- Curtis Mitchell
"In all likelihood, what Matisse actually saw of a harem was what
any tourist would see -- the high outer walls of the compound."
-- Jo Anna Isaak
"If 'good' painting is suspect and unseen, then it might help to
look at some bad painting just as closely."
-- Mira Schor
"The artwork becomes a Marxist Christmas tree on which are hung
gaudy baubles of 'late capitalism.'"
-- Daryl Chin
"Rationality or belief don't work well now for painting.
Suspension--doubt, works best."
-- David Reed

"OCTOBER, the 15-year old

theory, has always seemed special.
Its nonprofit status, its cross-
disciplinary forays into film

its unyielding commitment to
history set it apart from the
glossy art magazines."

As the leading edge of arts criticism and theory today, _OCTOBER_
focuses on the contemporary arts and their various contexts of
interpretation. Original, innovative, provocative, each issue
examines interrelationships between the arts and their critical
and social contexts.

_Postmodern Culture_ announces PMC-MOO
PMC-MOO is a new service offered (free of charge) by _Postmodern
Culture_. PMC-MOO is a real-time, text-based, virtual reality
environment in which you can interact with other subscribers of
the journal and participate in live conferences. PMC-MOO will
also provide access to texts generated by _Postmodern Culture_
and by PMC-TALK, and it will provide the opportunity to
experience (or help to design) programs which simulate object-
lessons in postmodern theory. PMC-MOO is based on the LambdaMOO
program, freeware by Pavel Curtis.
To connect to PMC-MOO, you *must* be on the internet. If you
have an internet account, you can make a direct connection by
typing the command
telnet dewey.lib.ncsu.edu 7777
at your command prompt. Once you've connected to the server, you
should receive onscreen instructions on how to log in to PMC-MOO.
If you do not receive these onscreen instructions, but instead
find yourself with a straight login: and password: prompt, it
means that your telnet program or interface is ignoring the 7777
at the end of the command given above, and you will need to ask
your local user-support people how to telnet to a specific port
number. If you have the Emacs program on your system and would
like information about a customized program for PMC-MOO that uses
Emacs, contact pmc@unity.ncsu.edu by e-mail.

CALL FOR PAPERS
for
"RAIDS ON THE CONSCIOUS:
New Essays on Don DeLillo"
A special cluster for _Postmodern Culture_, Jan. 1994
******************************************************
Since the early Seventies, Don DeLillo's work (fiction,
drama, and journalism) has played an important role in the
literature of what has gradually become known as the
"postmodern condition." DeLillo's novels and plays
investigate the problem of subjectivity in an environment
increasingly governed by, perhaps even constructed purely of
information and its various modes of transmission. Identity
in DeLillo is dominated by a sense of anxiety concerning the
formation of "self" from this patchwork of postmodern
discourses, and is often further problematized by the
lurking suspicion that there is no longer any stable
referential framework behind the blizzard of signifiers; a
suspicion that ideals, goals, and even individuality are
categories as "empty" as poststructuralist theory tells us
are the images, words, and digits with which we are
surrounded; that identity is as arbitrary, illusory, and
transient as the "sign."
The breakdown of various Western master narratives
which is often at the heart of DeLillo's novels--a
breakdown discussed by, among others, Lyotard--contributes
to this "vacuuming out" of substance. The result is a
"postnarrative" world where the acontextual, the enigmatic,
the arbitrary and fundamentally anti-rational continually
threaten to become the sole reality--as in Jorge Luis
Borges' "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius."
Furthermore, in DeLillo's works this cultural
identity crisis often "bleeds" into the characters' private
anxieties; in fact, the boundary between public and private
is the barrier which DeLillo seems to believe the postmodern
condition threatens to breach. Some line has been crossed,
and in DeLillo's work identity is now formed from the
outside in, the product of a ceaseless anti-Cartesian
barrage of decontextualized messages and undifferentiated
signals from without. The governance of this situation has
devolved from powerful but recognizable individuals onto
shadowy larger "bodies": corporations, intelligence
agencies, the academy and, perhaps most importantly,
terrorist organizations. Beyond such barely tangible agents
DeLillo posits a postmodern sublime, the force described in
Libra as the "world inside the world."
Papers are solicited which respond to these issues in
DeLillo's work (fiction, drama, and journalism) for possible
inclusion in a special issue (January, 1994) of the
electronic journal Postmodern Culture, and in a hard cover
edition to be published later in 1994 or in early 1995.
Papers should address the problems of how literature and
other forms of public language support and/or resist the
construction of the postmodern relationship of author, text,
and reader; how these identities and their relationships are
maintained, thwarted, or altered through a concatenation of
public spectacle, random violence, and decontextualized
language; and how the control of a massively disoriented
narrative (or former narrative) of and about these
identities increasingly depends upon a variety of ill-
defined and vaguely sinister "postindividual" agencies.
Comparative essays utilizing other authors, films, music and
other forms of popular culture are welcomed.
Abstracts (250-500 words) should arrive no later than
Oct. 15th, and the *first* drafts of papers (15-30 pages)
will be due no later than December 15th. Inquiries,
abstracts and rough drafts may be sent electronically to:

czsl@musica.mcgill.ca; shade@well.sf.ca.us
EJVC is a new peer-reviewed electronic journal dedicated to
scholarly research and discussion of all aspects of computer-
mediated human experience, behavior, action, and interaction.
This special issue of the EJVC will be devoted to gender issues
in networking. Despite the abundance of various private networks
and the meteoric growth of the Internet, this rapidly expanding
user base does not include an equal proportion of men and women.
How can women become equally represented in the new "electronic
frontier" of cyberspace? Issues to be discussed can include, but
are not limited to, the following:
* Access issues--to hardware, software, and training. What
barriers do women face? What are some success stories.
* How can women be given the technical expertise to become
comfortable and versatile with computer networking?
* Interface design: can there be a feminist design?
* How can networking realize its potential as a feminist tool?
* How can women scholars exploit networking's technology?
* What information technology policies could be developed to
ensure computer networking equity for women, as well as
minorities?
* How does one define computer pornography and "offensive"
material on the net? Should it be allowed?
* How should sexual harassment on the net be treated?
* Are women-only groups necessary?
* How do women interact on MUDS and MOOs?
* What net resources exist for women?
Deadlines: December 1, 1993 (submission of abstracts)
April 1, 1994 (submission of contributions)
Abstracts will be reviewed by the issue editor for
appropriateness of content and overall balance of the issue as a
whole. In turn, authors will then be invited to submit full-
length contributions, which will be peer-reviewed by the
journal's normal editorial process before final acceptance for
publication. The issue editor encourages correspondence about
proposed contributions even before submission of an abstract.

_Postmodern Culture_
A SUNY Press Series
Series Editor: Joseph Natoli
Editor: Carola Sautter
Center for Integrative Studies, Arts and Humanities
Michigan State University
We invite submissions of short book manuscripts that present a
postmodern crosscutting of contemporary headlines--green politics
to Jeffrey Dahmer, Rap Music to Columbus, the Presidential
campaign to Rodney King--and academic discourses from art and
literature to politics and history, sociology and science to
women's studies, form computer studies to cultural studies.
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."
Inquiries, proposals, and manuscripts should be addressed to:

NSC'93
The Network Services Conference 1993
Warsaw, Poland, 12-14 October 1993
Invitation
Networking in the academic and research environment has evolved
into an important tool for researchers in all disciplines. High
quality network services and tools are essential parts of the
research infrastructure.
Building on the success of the first Network Services Conference
in Pisa, Italy, NSC'93 will focus on the issue of providing
services to customers, with special attention paid to the
actual usage of the various tools available. We will address the
impact of today's global tools on service development and
support, the changing function of traditional tools and services
(such as archives), new services (such as multi-media
communications), the future role of the library and the
effects of commercialization of networks and network services.
Customer support at the institutional and campus level, and the
role of support in accessing global services, will also be
covered.
Talks, tutorials, demonstrations and other conference activities
will address the needs of the research, academic, educational,
governmental, industrial, and commercial network communities.
Tutorial sessions on specific network services have been
integrated into the regular conference program. Practical issues
in the use of these services and tools will be covered in detail
by experts. Throughout the conference, participants will be able
to get hands-on experience in the well-equipped demonstration
area.
NSC'93 is being organized by EARN in conjunction with EUnet,
NORDUnet, RARE, and RIPE.

_HOLOCAUS: Holocaust list_
HOLOCAUS on LISTSERV@UICVM.BITNET
or LISTSERV@UICVM.UIC.EDU
HOLOCAUS@uicvm has become part of the stable of electronic mail
discussion groups ("lists") at the University of Illinois,
Chicago. 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
The HOLOCAUS policies are:
1. The coverage of the list will include the Holocaust itself,
and closely related topics like anti-Semitism, and Jewish
history in the 1930's and 1940's, as well as related themes
in the history of WW2, Germany, and international diplomacy.
2. We are especially interested in reaching college teachers of
history who already have, or plan to teach courses on the
Holocaust. In 1991-92, there were 265 college faculty in
the US and Canada teaching courses on the Holocaust (154 in
History departments, 67 in Religion, and 46 in Literature).
An even larger number of professors teach units on the
Holocaust in courses on Jewish history (taught by 273
faculty) and World War II (taught by 373), not to mention
many other possible courses. Most of these professors own
PC's, but do not use them for e-mail. We hope our list will
be one inducement to go on line. _HOLOCAUS_ will therefore
actively solicit syllabi, reading lists, termpaper guides,
ideas on films and slides, and tips and comments that will
be of use to the teacher who wants to add a single lecture,
or an entire course.
3. H-Net is now setting up an international board of editors to
guide _HOLOCAUS_ policy and to help stimulate contributions.
4. _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.
5. The tone and target audience will be scholarly, and academic
standards and styles will prevail. _HOLOCAUS_ is affiliated
with the _International History Network_.
6. _HOLOCAUS_ is a part of H-Net, a project run by computer-
oriented historians at the U of Illinois. We see moderated
e-mail lists as a new mode of scholarly communication; they
have enormous potential for putting in touch historians from
across the world. Our first list on urban history, _H-
URBAN@UICVM_, recently started up with Wendy Plotkin as
moderator. _H-WOMEN_ is in the works, with discussions
underway about other possibilities like Ethnic, Labor, and
US South. We are helping our campus Jewish Studies program
set up _JSTUDY_ (restricted to the U of Illinois Chicago
campus, for now), and are considering the creation of _H-
JEWISH_, also aimed at academics, but covering the full
range of scholarship on Jewish history. If you are
interested in any of these projects, please e-write Richard
Jensen, for we are now (as of late April) in a critical
planning stage.
7. 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

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.
