<nettime-ann> [pub] Inaugural issue of Flusser Studies (Modified by Geert Lovink) [u] |
From: anke.finger@uconn.edu I am delighted to inform you about the posting of the inaugural issue of Flusser Studies Please visit http://www.flusserstudies.net About flusserstudies.net Flusser Studies is an international e-journal for academic research dedicated to the thought of Vilem Flusser (1920-1991). In addition to publishing articles about Flusser92s work, the journal seeks to promote scholarship on different aspects of specifically interdisciplinary and multilingual approaches Flusser himself developed in the course of his career as a writer and philosopher. These approaches range from Communication Theory to Translation Studies, Cultural Anthropology to the New Media. Flusser wrote his texts in different languages, translating himself over and over again, moving from English, to Portuguese, German, French and back again. Similarly he worked by juxtaposing and contaminating different discourses: philosophy, anthropology, communication theory, art and design, zoology to mention only a few. Among his most original contributions in this context are his philosophical fictions - above all Vampyroteuthis infernalis - scientific fables on the borderline of literature, science and philosophy. Flusser Studies is published twice a year. Publication languages include English, German, French, Brazilian and Czech. Some editions will be dedicated to a specific area of research. --- A note from a the editor: Flusser Studies is a new online journal that seeks to support research on and with the theories and works of Vilem Flusser (more information on the philosopher, writer, cultural historian VF on the site itself). I co-founded the journal with Rainer Guldin (Universita della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano) and am serving as associate editor, and I would be most grateful if you could send the link to those friends and colleagues of yours who might be interested in reading or contributing to the journal. The next issue, due in May, will publish general submissions, but the November 2006 issue will focus on Flusser and Brazil, and the May 2007 issue will focus on Flusser and the Czech Republic. I am happy to answer any questions you may have, of course.
