Somebody should go to this thing and scare all those neoscholastic PoMo
natives with a talk on the "hermeneutics", or whatever, of
microcash-settled Eternity networks, er, "spaces".
That should get their relativist authoritarian statist panties in a severe
bunch.
:-).
Cheers,

Call For Papers: Space and Culture, #8
Archival Spaces
Deadline: October 31, 1999
Guest Editor: Greg Elmer, University of Massachusetts Amherst
This issue is a response to the lack of collections that address the
spatial, political and cultural implications of new trends in archival
practices. The goal of this project is thus threefold: first, to
engage, on a theoretical level, with the archival strands in cultural
theory forwarded by the likes of Innis (The Bias Of Communication),
Derrida (Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression), Foucault (The
Archaeology of Knowledge), Benjamin ("arcades") and Gilles Deleuze
(Foucault). Second, to provide a critical, spatial perspective on the
increasingly digitized and "wired" (on-line or though other networked
means) sites of classification and storage. And third, to reflect upon
the role that archives (libraries, universities and other centres of
knowledge) play in the transformation of virtual, architectural, urban
and geographical spaces.
Potential topics for the special issue include:
- emerging digital archives
- archives and privacy
- internet search engines and databases
- archival possibilities/limitations in cyberspace
- archival technologies (robots, spiders, intelligent agents, etc.)
- architectures and archives
- the (re)location of archives
- archival networks
- archives, classificatory systems and the production of knowledge
- archives and cities
- the corporatization and privatization of archives/information
- archives and displays (museums, exhibitions, etc.)
Submissions should be addressed to Greg Elmer/CO Space and Culture, Box
797 Stn. B Ottawa, Canada K1P 5P8. For more information contact Greg
