Subject: Request to the Deleuze List


Hi, apologies for barging in (again), I have a request .. does anyone
know the work of Vilem Flusser?  I wonder if there are english
translations anywhere, or if anyone is working on him.  My prime
interest is in Paul Virilio .. and Flusser sounds great .. 

A friend of mine alerted my attention to three titles (her translation
from German):
~ A Philosophy of Photography, 1983
~ Into the Universum of Technical Pictures, 1985
~ Writing. Does 'Writing' Have a Future, 1992

Biographical details on Flusser:
1920 born in Prague
1939 emigration to Sao Paulo 
1959 professor of philosphy of science and since
1963 professor of philosophy of communication at the University of 
         Sao Paul and since then he taught at a plenty of 
         Universities all over Europe and the USA
1991 died

I apologise if this is the wrong list to submit such a request, perhaps
if it is someone could let me know of a more appropriate way procede.
Many thanks for any help, take care all .. ian.r.d.

p.s., is anyone interested in starting a Virilio list?  I am.
