I am aware of no on- line sites with Deleuze and Guattari-related information. Largely this is due to 1.) the effort involved in translating text into e-copy, and b.) the restrictive laws concerning putting copyrighted materials up on the Net. There are a number of term-paper and even dissertations relating to the sociology, etc. of cyberspace that have been made available by ftp. I wonder if anyone on this list has written anything that they would be willing to make available. If so, let me know. I'm sure that we could find an ftp site. Somebody could also run Dissertation Abstracts - computer-searchable in some academic libraries, I believe, so it would not be too difficult - looking for dissertations that were Deleuze and/or Guattari-related. I am still slowly working on my bibliography project, but I have not run Dissertation Abstracts for a number of years. There are not any dissertations that readily come to mind that are any good that have not been published. But there may have been some recently. If some- one could get a list, I would volunteer to contact the authors. One exception to what I said above is the journal _PostModern Culture_, which is published in both e-form and as a print journal by Oxford University Press. There have been two papers that deal substantively with Deleuze and Guattari - perhaps three - but the two that I remember deal with a.) escort prostitution, and b.) a reading of the film _Edward Sizzorhands_. These can be ftp'd from ftp.ncsu.edu, in the directory /pub/ncsc/pmc/pmc-list. They are organized by issue and author name. (You can ftp tables of contents with abstracts.) I don't have exact filenames at hand. The one on _Edward Scissorhands_ (spelled it right that time) is by Potter and appeared in V2.3. I can't even _find_ the other one, which is frustrating since I had it in hand a couple of days ago. . . Michael -- ---------------------------Michael J.
