I have scrounged up some interesting and strange Lyotard material over the last year or so, it would be nice to find a home for it. Steve -------------------------------------- Date: 19/6/95 3:40 PM To: Stephen Cairns From: lyotard-AT-jefferson.village.virg Greetings. Some of you may be aware of the discussions going on on list-proposals right now about the dynamics of mailing lists. If nothing else, we're learning how little we really know about how to use the resources we have at our disposal. Partially in response to those questions, and partially in the hope that the 75 or so of us here on this list might find we had something to talk about if we found a place to start, i want to propose an ongoing project - one which i hope might be picked up by other of the Spoon lists, but which might as well start here. In the next day or so, i'm planning on putting up a WWW page at the Spoon/IATH site with the brief bibliography of Lyotard's book-length work in English that circulated here a few months back. With any luck, i should be able to add a list of English-language essays soon after that. That sort of information on the WWW ought to be an asset to folks working on Lyotard. However, we could clearly compile/compose a much more useful resource if we pooled our various knowledges and expertises. So, i'm going to commit myself - as "list-owner" and Spoon-member - to maintaining a Lyotard Readers' Guide page or pages, to which list members could contribute additional bibliographic information, corrections, abstracts or reviews of books and essays, critical material, links to other resources. We might post items to the list and allow a certain amount of time for comment, before adding them to the page(s). The advantages for researchers, which ought to include most of us, ought to be fairly clear. With folks like Lyotard, some guideposts along the way are very useful. But this sort fo project has some other advantages, the most significant perhaps being that we can work where we are with the material, without having to agree on a text for grop readings or whatever... I'm happy to maintain this space as an arena for potential discussion. My own interest in Lyotard's work makes the upkeep worthwhile. However, while we're all here, presumably interested in the same thing, perhaps this sort of project might serve to help bring our various voices into contact. How does that sound? -shawn <swilbur-AT-bgsuvax.bgsu.edu> ------------------ RFC822 Header Follows ------------------ Received: by muwayf.unimelb.edu.au with SMTP;19 Jun 1995 15:39:43 +1000 Received: from virginia.edu (uvaarpa.Virginia.EDU) by muwayb.ucs.unimelb.edu.au (PMDF V4.3-10 #7200) id <01HRW8SPESFK001OIJ-AT-muwayb.ucs.unimelb.edu.au>; Mon, 19 Jun 1995 15:39:42 +1100 Received: from jefferson.village.virginia.edu by uvaarpa.virginia.edu id aa16569; 19 Jun 95 1:32 EDT Received: by jefferson.village.Virginia.EDU (5.67a8/1.34) id AA54349; Mon, 19 Jun 1995 05:22:05 GMT Received: from bgsuvax.bgsu.edu by jefferson.village.Virginia.EDU (5.67a8/1.34) id AA36935; Mon, 19 Jun 1995 01:22:03 -0400 Received: by bgsuvax.bgsu.edu (5.65/4.0) id AA03098 ; Mon, 19 Jun 95 01:22:01 -0400 Date: Mon, 19 Jun 1995 01:10:19 -0400 (EDT) From: aka bookish <swilbur-AT-bgsuvax.bgsu.edu> Subject: LYOTARD: proposal for WWW bibliography project Sender: owner-lyotard-AT-jefferson.village.virginia.edu To: lyotard-AT-jefferson.village.virginia.edu Reply-to: lyotard-AT-jefferson.village.virginia.edu Message-id: <Pine.3.07.9506190045.J20821-c100000-AT-bgsuvax.bgsu.edu> Precedence: bulk
