It is attempting to engage with the 'popular', and integrate the work of 'scholarship' in media and cultural studies into our critical work. We take seriously the need to move ideas outward, so that our cultural debates may have some resonance with wider political and cultural interests. It doesn't take much to see that human history is full of invasions, from military invasions to other, sometimes no less tragic contexts: virus invasions which threaten millions of lives, or metaphorically invasions by computer viruses wreaking their form of electronic havoc, as well as invasions of culture through the modern media which may also severely affect whole societies. Conversely, invasive surgery is now a standard tool to save people's lives, just as invasive interventions by the international community are sometimes seen as the only way to stop a country's descent into anarchy. In the second issue of M/C this year, we consider these and other aspects of 'invasion' -- here are the articles on offer: "Invading the Ivory Tower: Hypertext and the New Dilletante Scholars" Axel Bruns examines the implications that our increasing use of the Web to disseminate information may have for academic discussion and research, predicting a growing influx of self-trained scholars that may seriously affect traditional academic hierarchies. "Shooting Baywatch: Resisting Cultural Invasion" Felicity Meakins examines media and community reactions to the threat of having the television series Baywatch shot on Australian beaches, looking looks at the cultural cringe that has surrounded the relationship between Australia and America over the years and is manifested by our response to American accents in the media. "Screen II: The Invasion of the Attention Snatchers" Paul Mc Cormack considers how the television has irreversibly invaded our lives and claimed a dominant place in the domestic sphere. Recently, the (Internet-connected) personal computer has begun a similar invasion: what space will it eventually claim? "Is Sustainable Tourism Really Sustainable? Protecting the Icon in the Commodity at Sites of Invasion" Sandra Brunet explores the often forgotten Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia, examining the ways in which the image of the island is constructed by the government and media for eco-tourism and how faithful this representation is to the farmers, fishermen and other inhabitants of the island. "A Decolonising Doctor? British SF Invasion Narratives" Nick Caldwell investigates some of the implications of the "Britishness" of the cult television series Doctor Who, where insularity and cultural authority are taken to extremes during the ubiquitous intergalactic invasions. "Special Effects and the Invasive Camera: Enemy of the State and The Conversation" Paul Starr considers at the troubled relationship between cutting-edge special effects in Hollywood action movies and the surveillance technologies that recent movies such as Enemy of the State show as tools in government conspiracies. The depiction of high-tech gadgetry as 'cool' and 'evil' at the same time, he writes, leads to a collapse of meaning. And introducing M/C Reviews - An ongoing series of reviews of events in culture and the media. http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/reviews/ M/C Reviews is a companion piece to the M/C journal itself. Publication on the Internet gives us the freedom to keep its link to M/C proper ambiguous: M/C Reviews is neither simply a sub-section of M/C, nor completely independent of it; you, the reader, decide how you want to see it. The reviews are informed by the culture-critical perspective of M/C, but you don't need to take notice of this fact; if you do, however, you'll find that they tie in to some of the debates represented in greater length in M/C. New articles are continually added to M/C Reviews. Recent reviews include: Felicity Meakins: "Smug Grins from the Experts: 'Language and Society'" Shane Lewis: "What Tangled Webs: 'A Simple Plan'/'Very Bad Things'" Shane Lewis: "Norm Storms Warm Form: 'Psycho'" Axel Bruns: "A Visit from the Timminses: Cowboy Junkies in Brisbane" Kirsty Leishman: "No Express to Marrakesh: 'Hideous Kinky'" Axel Bruns: "Dark and Subtle: Morte Macabre's 'Symphonic Holocaust'" Shane Lewis: "Special Combination: 'Rush Hour'" Shane Lewis: "Toying with Victims: 'Bride of Chucky'/'Clay Pigeons'" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue two in volume two of M/C is now online at <http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/>. Previous issues of M/C on various topics are also still available online. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- M/C Reviews is now available at <http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/reviews/>. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- All M/C contributors are available for media contacts: mc@mailbox.uq.edu.au --------------------------------------------------------------------------- end Axel Bruns -- M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture mc@mailbox.uq.edu.au The University of Queensland http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/ ................................................................... 08 Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 From: Jon C. Ippolito <JIppolito@guggenheim.org> Subject: Upcoming Speaking Digital Symposium on Cyberfeminism and Net Culture Speaking Digital Interrogating Difference: Cyberfeminism and Net Culture Tuesday, March 30, 1999 7:00 p.m. Peter B. Lewis Theater Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum 1071 Fifth Avenue New York, NY This fourth symposium in the Speaking Digital series will bring together cultural critics, filmmakers, and theorists to address the relationship between gender and technology, and to examine issues of difference, notions of community, and forms of representation in cyberspace. Exploring the myth that gender or sexual identity does not matter in the decentralized domain of the Internet--in which access to technological resources equals power--these speakers will also examine alternative forms of representation and empowerment in the new terrain of cyberspace, as well as the implications in this for the visual arts. This panel is co-organized by Nancy Spector, Curator of Contemporary Art, and J. Fiona Ragheb, Associate Curator for Collections and Exhibitions. KAREN A. FRENKEL is a filmmaker and journalist specializing in high technology who has written extensively on such subjects as artificial intelligence, interactive multimedia, databases and the human genome project, and women in computing. The former technology and culture columnist for CyberTimes, The New York Times on the web, she is also the co-author with Isaac Asimov of _Robots: Machines in Man's Image_ (1985). Frenkel was the creator, writer, and executive producer of _Minerva's Machine: Women and Computing_ (1995), an award-winning documentary that investigates the place of women in computing and explores gender differences in response to high technology. She is currently at work on her second documentary, _Net.LEARNING_, which she is directing, co-writing, and executive producing in conjunction with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. ALONDRA NELSON is a Ph.D. candidate in the American Studies Program at New York University. She writes and teaches on the topics of race, gender and modernity; science, technology and culture; and 20th-century popular culture. She is the moderator of AfroFuturism | List, an email forum that explores futurist themes, sci-fi imagery and technological innovation in African diasporic cultural production. She is currently co-editing _Techni*Color: Race and Technology in Daily Life_, forthcoming from NYU Press. THYRZA GOODEVE NICHOLS is currently Senior Instructor at the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. She has published essays and interviews on art and technoculture in _Art in America_, _Artbyte_, _Artforum_, _Guggenheim_ magazine, _Leonardo_, and _Parkett_. Her most recent project is _How Like A Leaf_, a book-length interview with Donna J. Haraway, forthcoming this fall from Routledge. THUY LINH TU is a Ph.D. candidate in the American Studies Program at New York University. She teaches and writes about contemporary Asian American popular culture, primarily as it intersects with a larger technoculture. In particular, she is interested in the various relationships racialized communities have to the production and consumption of modern technologies in their work, play, and cultural expression. She is currently co-editing _Techni*Color: Race and Technology in Daily Life_, forthcoming from NYU Press. Tickets are $10 for non-members, $7 for members, students, and seniors. Speaking Digital is a quarterly series of public dialogues on the creative possibilities of digital technology. This symposium in the Speaking Digital series is generously sponsored by Samsung as part of its ongoing support of the Guggenheim Museum.

Dear Friends, As you will all know, the airstrikes on Yugoslavia have begun. One of the outcomes of this war situation is the closure of Yugoslavia's most important independent media entity, radio station B92. Please help us to ensure that our friends at B92 continue to be heard during this most difficult time, by distributing this press realase as widely as you can. I apologise to those who receive this message more than once. International support is very much needed at this time, and will be greatly appreciated by everyone involved in this crisis. Best regards Honor Harger r a d i o q u a l i a *** PLEASE REDISTRIBUTE AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE *** Pressrelease Amsterdam - March 24th 1999 Help B92 and the independent media in Yugoslavia Latest news at http://helpB92.xs4all.nl Last night the transmitter of radio B92 from Belgrade was confiscated by the Serbian authorities. The editor-in-chief, Veran Matic, was held in custody in a police station for well over 8 hours. Despite this intimidation the station continues its independent news service. At De Balie in Amsterdam a support group has been founded tonight, which intends to support B92 and other independent media in Yugoslavia where possible in the continuation of their important news service. With the support of internetprovider XS4ALL B92 also transmits its signals via internet since december 1996. These digital broadcasts are picked up by the BBC Worldservice and retransmitted via satellite. Through a network of local radio stations the programs of B92 can be heard throughout Serbia, despite repeated attempts by the authorities to silence the station. At this moment it is still possible to follow the broadcasts of Radio B92 in real audio on their website, at http://www.b92.net In light of the current tense situation it is very likely that the possibilities of B92 to continue its independent news service will be limited even further. The support group therefore intends to take measures to distribute news by and about B92 from Amsterdam. For that purpose a special website has been opened at http://helpB92.xs4all.nl B92 is the backbone of the independent news service in Yugoslavia. Without immediate financial support this last source of independent news for the inhabitants of this region is endangered. A fundraising campaign is being started by the support group, in order to send money and equipment to B92 and other independent radio stations in Serbia and Kosovo as soon as possible. The founders of the support group are: B92, De Balie, De Digitale Stad, Next 5 Minutes, Press Now, radioqualia (Australia), De Waag (MONM) en XS4ALL. The Postbank account for donations is 7676, made payable to Press Now in Amsterdam, please specify "Help B92". For more information or to send messages of support, please e-mail: helpB92@xs4all.nl You can also digitally support this initiative by copying the special logo onto your website and linking to Help B92. ................................................................... 11 Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 From: katarina@opennet.org Subject: BGDirect last episode of BGDirect shot on Sunday!! www.cr.opennet.org/BGDirect/ katarina ................................................................... 12 Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 23:15:00 +0100 (MET) From: super deformed <caboose@xchange.anarki.net> Subject: c l e a n s u r f a c e C L E A N S U R F A C E a n o n l i n e a r c h i v e o f p u b l i c t r o u b l e m a k i n g p o s t e r s s t i c k e r s g r a f f i t i s t e n c i l s b i l l b o a r d s s u b v e r t i s i n g s h u t u p a n d s h o p s c a n n e d p h o t o s a n d d o n a t e d i m a g e s j p e g s f r o m m e l b o u r n e a n d t h e g l o b e s t r e e t c u l t u r e s t r e e t a c t i o n t e x t a s p r a y c r a y o n p e n g l u e s t e n c i l c l e a n s u r f a c e : http://members.xoom.com/cleansurface http://members.xoom.com/stencils/gunduo.jpg http://members.xoom.com/posters/deadwrong2.jpg http://members.xoom.com/subvert/marcsta.jpg http://members.xoom.com/graffiti/progress2.jpg http://members.xoom.com/billboards/sabuperks1.jpg ................................................................... 13 Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 08:42:57 +0930 From: ANAT - Honor Harger <honor@anat.org.au> Subject: me.diation: LIVE ON THE WEB!
