Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you that on 4 April 2000, a new internet-based, peer
reviewed journal will be launched,

Consciousness, Literature and the Arts

The URL is http://www.aber.ac.uk/~drawww/journal/

Aims and Scope

The journal provides a forum for new work relating the arts and literature
to the exploration of consciousness currently flourishing in many
disciplines such as philosophy, cognitive science, psychology,
neuroscience, computer science, and physics.

We seek your participation in an unorthodox planned book of television
criticism: TELEPARODY: PREDICTING/PREVENTING THE TV DISCOURSE OF TOMORROW. Go
here to see an online CFP:

We look forward to your proposals.

Sincerely,

Open content encyclopedia calls for submissions about music

A major new encyclopedia project, Nupedia.com, requests expert help in
constructing an "open content" encyclopedia, planned to become the largest
general encyclopedia in history. The project has significant financial
support, and its leaders and owners are committed to a years-long,
intensive effort -- to founding an open, public institution.

This is a call for papers for the 4th Issue of M/C/T a journal/e-zine
concerned with Media, Culture and Technology. For this issue, we have the
following special theme:

The Fake Issue

What's real? What's true? These may seem like outdated questions in these
hyper wired times of ours. Indeed, as Jean Baudrillard pointed out years
ago, the question of authenticity no longer matters in the same way, now
that we are fully immersed in an environment of virtual simulation. The
quest for authenticity is not only pointless but dissatisfying as well.
