Announcing:

Edited by Larry McCaffery, this book is an assemblage of
innovative fiction, comic book art, unique graphics and various

with the seduction of drugs, crime, prostitution and violence.
_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
_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.

_Black Sacred Music_
A Journal of Theomusicology
Jan Michael Specer, editor
7:2 (Fall 1993)
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 its
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 available 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.

Eastgate Systems, Inc. announces:
its name was Penelope
by Judy Malloy
(Cambridge, MA) Eastgate Systems has announced the publication of
_its name was Penelope_, an important new interactive novel by
Judy Malloy.
_its name was Penelope_ explores the boundaries of performance
art, hypertext, interactive fiction and poetry. It is a woman
artist's story--a story about making art, of love, sex, and work,
of being very young and growing older. The reader is invited to
step into the mind of narrator Anne Mitchell, to see things as
she sees them, to share her memories. _its name was Penelope_ is
filled with uncomfortable truths, closely observed and stunningly
retold: the rituals enacted at the opening of art shows of men
dying of AIDS, the conflict between the demands of love and art,
the pain and sacrifice and, occasionally, the rewards of a life
in the arts. In her introduction, artist and hypertext author
Carolyn Guyer writes:
If you've never been able to make up your mind whether an
artist's life is divine or hellish, read _its name was
Penelope_. Judy Malloy tells the truth.
Judy Malloy's artists books and electronic narratives, including
_its name was Penelope_, have been exhibited at galleries and
exhibitions throughout the world. 1992-3 venues include:
The Computer Is Not Sorry The Houston Center
(Boston) for Photography
Women and Technology The National Library
(Beverly Hills) of Lisbon
Ringling School of Art Intl. Symposium
and Design Electronic Art
(Australia)
An associate editor of _Leonardo_, Malloy has lived all over the
world, from a tent on a small island in the Rhine to a house in
the Colorado Rockies. She currently resides in Berkeley,
California.
Like all Eastgate hypertext titles, _its name was Penelope_ is
carefully crafted for interactive performance on the computer.
No conventional, paper version of the work exists, or can exist.
The program runs on all Macintosh computers, models Plus or
better. _its name way Penelope_ sells for $19.95. No additional
software is required.
Since 1982, Eastgate Systems, Inc. has been a leading publisher
of quality hypertexts and hypertext writing tools, including
Storyspace (tm) and Hypergate (tm) hypertext writing
environments, Michael Joyce's _Afternoon, a story_, Sarah Smith's
_King of Space_, and Stuart Moulthrop's _Victory Garden_.

_NO MORE NICE GIRLS_
author: Ellen Willis
In her new collection of journalism and cultural criticism, _No
More Nice Girls_, Ellen Willis "offers serious readers the fruits
of her wide-ranging curiosity, thoughtful analysis, penetrating
insights, and utterly unapologetic commitment to freedom and
pleasure as liberating, radical ideas" (_Booklist_). _No More
Nice Girls_ will be published by Wesleyan/University Press of New
England on February 26, 1993.
A former columnist and senior editor at the _Village Voice_,
Willis is the author of a previous collection, _Beginning to See
the Light_ (also available from Wesleyan/UPNE), which was hailed
as "stimulating and satisfying" by the _New York Times_ and as
the work of an "outspoken, articulate and thoughtful woman" by
the _Los Angeles Times_. _No More Nice Girls_ brings her project
of cultural critique into the contemporary era of conservative
backlash.

_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 client program for PMC-MOO
that uses Emacs, contact pmc@unity.ncsu.edu by e-mail.

_PHAGE_
Welcome to the Future
---------------------
_PHAGE_ is a new magazine for people who are living on the new
edge, surfing along the new wave of radical thought. This
magazine was born from the need for a forum for new ideas in
print media.
_PHAGE_ will be designed and produced on the Macintosh computer,
in an 8 1/2 x 11" format, and each issue will be in the area of
64 pages. We are planning to sell the magazine at a cover price
of $3.50 (US), but until costs are measured, we cannot say for
sure.
We are looking for submissions and assistance with this project
from all angles: fiction writers, essayists, ranters, graphic
designers, artists, poets, etc.. Submissions are welcome in any
form, in any style or tone, though that is not a guarantee that
everything we receive will be printed. We are looking for
submissions as soon as possible, but feel free to send them
whenever you like. However, due to a lack of available
resources, we are unable, for now, to reward monetarily those who
contribute to _PHAGE_. While we have little money, our primary
interest is producing the highest-quality magazine possible,
containing an immense spectrum of information.
Possible topics include:
Focusing on the Edges of Culture, examining the Fringes of Reason
and the Reasons of the Fringe, the Here and Now and Soon-to-Be,
via unstructured Tones that Ebb and Flow from In-Form Information
to Formless Rants of Altered States.

_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, from 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:

Call for Papers
_PSYCHE: an interdisciplinary
journal of research on consciousness_
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You are invited to submit papers for publication in the inaugural
issue of _PSYCHE: an interdisciplinary journal of research on
consciousness_ (ISSN: 1039-723X).
_PSYCHE_ is a refereed electronic journal dedicated to supporting
the interdisciplinary exploration of the nature of consciousness
and its relation to the brain. _PSYCHE_ publishes material
relevant to that exploration from the perspectives afforded by
the disciplines of Cognitive Science, Philosophy, Psychology,
Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, and Anthropology.
Interdisciplinary discussions are particularly encouraged.
_PSYCHE_ publishes a large variety of articles and reports for a
diverse academic audience four times per year. As an electronic
journal, the usual space limitations of print journals do not
apply; however, the editors request that potential authors do not
attempt to abuse the medium. _PSYCHE_ also publishes a hardcopy
version simultaneously with the electronic version. Long
articles published in the electronic format may be abbreviated,
synopsized, or eliminated from the hardcopy version.
Submitted matter should be preceded by: the author's name;
address; affiliation; telephone number; electronic mail address.
Any submission to be peer reviewed should be preceded by a 100-
200 word abstract as well. Note that peer review will be blind,
meaning that the prefatory material will not be made available to
the referees. In the event that an article needs to be shortened
for publication in the print version of _PSYCHE_, the author will
be responsible for making any alterations requested by the
editors.
Any figures required should be designed in screen-readable ASCII.
If that cannot be arranged, figures should be submitted as
separate postscript files so that they can be printed out by
readers locally.
Authors of accepted articles assign to _PSYCHE_ the right to
publish the text both electronically and as printed matter and to
make it available permanently in an electronic archive. Authors
will, however, retain copyright to their articles and may
republish them in any forum so long as they clearly acknowledge
_PSYCHE_ as the original source of publication.

The aims of the conference are: (1) to make academic merit the
sole consideration in the publication of journal-type research,
(2) to advance the idea that the academic community should have a
hand in determining what gets published and how it is
disseminated, (3) to provide an outlet for research publication
that is not subject to the severe economic constraints of
traditional paper-journal publishing, (4) to make collective use
of the scholarly advantages of network publication (savings in
production costs, increased speed in publication and
dissemination process), (5) to provide an effective and low-cost
means for universities and learned societies to play a greater
role as disseminators of research information, and not only as
producers and consumers.
This historic two-day event will be organized as a series of
plenary working sessions that will include presentations from
major resource people from a variety of fields. An exhibition of
the latest computer technology is also planned. Registration is
limited to 200 participants.

"THE WATCH-TOWERS OF PEACE"
An Art Installation By Fred Forrest (FR)
May 28th - 4th June 1993
Installation telephone Numbers:
0043 3453 5411
0043 3453 5412
0043 3453 5413
SEND YOUR MESSAGES OF PEACE TO FORMER YUGOSLAVIA FROM ACROSS THE
BORDER IN AUSTRIA.
RING THESE NUMBERS FROM EVERY CORNER OF YOUR PLANET TO COVER THE
LAND OF WAR WITH SLOGANS OF PEACE.
DISSEMINATE YOUR ENERGIES IN REAL TIME THROUGH POSITIVE WAVES.
We would like to draw your attention to an installation that will
be realised by the artist Fred Forrest within the framework of
the European Month of Culture in Graez. The installation will
incorporate the general theme "Entegenzte Grenzen" (Dismissed
Borders) and function as leading project. It will open in April
and can already be considered as extraordinary and exemplary.
The technological communication media Fred Forrest is going to
install at the Slovenian border will be placed in such a way that
they will look in the direction of the former Yugoslavian
territory and are called
"OBSERVATION TOWERS FOR PEACE".
These technological communication media will consist of five
sound amplifiers connected to computers and the INTERNATIONAL
TELEPHONE NETWORK. The metal structures designed to carry these
strong amplifiers will be erected in Ehrenhausen, directly at the
Austrian-Slovenian border. Through these amplifiers, peace
messages are to be emitted in real-time mode. These peace
messages will be transmitted to the amplifiers via telephone from
the whole world over.
A computer will be used to transform the messages via synthesizer
into one collective sound signal. The modulation of this
whistling sound will change in accordance with both the number of
incoming phone calls and the distance from which they come.
There is no doubt that the interaction of Fred Forrest's project
and its symbolic dimension in view of the present geopolitical
situation make the installation a first class media event and
emphasize the meaning of our modern society's new forms of
communication.

Formally, _FEMISA_ was established to help those members of the
Feminist Theory and Gender Studies Section of the _International

_FEMISA_ can be a network where we share information in the area
of feminism or gender and international studies about

_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 an 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:

_UTNE READER INTERNET E-MAIL SALONS_
Calling all:
_Utne Reader_ readers
Neighborhood Salon Associates members
Interested others
The Utne Reader Neighborhood Salon Association is launching a
global network of Internet mailing lists designed to foster small
group dialogue about hot topics and timeless conundra. We call
them E-mail Salons and they are patterned after the hundreds of
Neighborhood Salons (face-to-face) that we've helped form across
North America since 1991.
Helping to revitalize democracy through vigorous discussion of
issues and ideas is part of the mission of the Neighborhood Salon
Association (NSA), our not-for-profit community service, funded
in part by the Surdna Foundation. We believe that both online
and face-to-face salons help revive the endangered art of
conversation.
Anyone who does not live in Canada or the United States can
participate for free. Likewise, anyone who has an account on
PeaceNet, EcoNet, the Web, GreenNet or other APC (Association for
Progressive Computing) network can participate free of charge.
Otherwise, you must be a member of the Utne Reader Salon
Association to participate. For a one-time sign-up fee of $12
($20 Canadian) you receive:
* Placement in at least one E-mail Salon of up to 25
participants.
