Send email attachment, html/web pages to davinheckman-AT-hotmail.com and dheckman-AT-reconstruction.ws or see our contact page: http://www.rhizomes.net/files/contact.html Abstracts by November 15th, 2003. Papers by January 15th, 2004 We at Rhizomes oppose the idea that knowledge must grow in a tree structure from previously accepted ideas. New thinking need not follow established patterns. Rhizomes promotes experimental work located outside current disciplines, work that has no proper location. As our name suggests, works written in the spirit of Deleuzian approaches are welcomed but not required. We are not interested in publishing texts that establish their authority merely by affirming what is already believed. Instead, we encourage migrations into new conceptual territories resulting from unpredictable juxtapositions. email: dheckman-AT-reconstruction.ws --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
