ReBlurring the Boundaries: New Developments in Intermedia

Over the past decades, the subject of intermedia has leant itself to
countless studies. Still, the ongoing and accelerating development and
global convergence of technologies call for perpetual re-assessment. Our
workshop invites contributors to join in an attempt to trace new
developments in a realm of fluctuating and competing discourses. The issues
discussed can be exemplified as follows: What is so techno about techno, and
how can Jazz be noir? What are the fictional and narrative strategies of
computer games? What is so Hindu about the virtual avatar? In how far is
Bret Easton Ellis cinematic, and how punk is Kathy Acker?

---------------------------------

This door you might not open and you did

So enter now and see for what slight thing

You are betrayed . . . here is no treasure hid

No cauldron, no clear crystal mirroring

The sought for truth, no heads of women slain

For greed like yours, no writings of distress

But only what you see, look yet again.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS -- EDITED ANTHOLOGY

Gendered Bodies, Religious Spirits:
  Performance and Power in the Faiths of Abraham

Gwendolyn Alker and Julia Whitworth, editors

_The Ugly Couch_ is seeking submissions for its inaugural and subsequent
issues. This journal intends to link the interdisciplinary, dialogue-based,
academic journal to the do-it-yourself, community-based, unpretentious zine.
Instead of providing special issues that may manipulate and prematurely edit
the potential contributions, the journal allows for the submissions to
dictate the makeup and foci of each issue. That said, dialogue about certain
subjects may occur and percolate several issues. Instead of providing
another space for rant-heavy, not thoroughly researched/ non-dialectic
articles one finds in several zines, the editor seeks well articulated
