Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 15:11:53 -0500 From: Greg Elmer Subject: CFP

Dear friends and colleagues:

I thought you might be interested in this CFP that I'm putting together with the journal Space and Culture. Please let me know if you're interested in submitting something. Deadline is October 31, 1999. Also feel free to circulate to other colleagues who might be interested.

thanks,

Greg Elmer University of Massachusetts Amherst

Call For Papers: Space and Culture, #8 Archival Spaces Deadline: October 31, 1999

Guest Editor: Greg Elmer, University of Massachusetts Amherst

This issue is a response to the lack of collections that address the spatial, political and cultural implications of new trends in archival practices. The goal of this project is thus threefold: first, to engage, on a theoretical level, with the archival strands in cultural theory forwarded by the likes of Innis (The Bias Of Communication), Derrida (Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression), Foucault (The Archaeology of Knowledge), Benjamin ("arcades") and Gilles Deleuze (Foucault). Second, to provide a critical, spatial perspective on the increasingly digitized and "wired" (on-line or though other networked means) sites of classification and storage. And third, to reflect upon the role that archives (libraries, universities and other centres of knowledge) play in the transformation of virtual, architectural, urban and geographical spaces.

Potential topics for the special issue include:

  • emerging digital archives
  • archives and privacy
  • internet search engines and databases
  • archival possibilities/limitations in cyberspace
  • archival technologies (robots, spiders, intelligent agents, etc.)
  • architectures and archives
  • the (re)location of archives
  • archival networks
  • archives, classificatory systems and the production of knowledge
  • archives and cities
  • the corporatization and privatization of archives/information
  • archives and displays (museums, exhibitions, etc.)

    • Submissions should be addressed to Greg Elmer/CO Space and Culture, Box 797 Stn. B Ottawa, Canada K1P 5P8. For more information contact Greg Elmer (gelmer@comm.umass.edu) or Rob Shields (rshields@ccs.carleton.ca).

    Articles submitted to Space and Culture are refereed and are considered for publication on the understanding that they are not under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate with a short abstract (100 - 150 words) and 7 keywords to the address below. An additional diskette version would be greatly appreciated. All submissions should be double spaced and in Harvard Style format. A submission style guide can be retrieved in Rich Text Format and MS Word for Windows v.6. Submissions need not be limited to the particular theme of each issue. All manuscripts that meet with Space and Culture's mandate will be considered for publication.

    Couriers do not deliver to post office boxes. If you do need to send your submission by courier, contact Space and Culture in advance to arrange an alternate delivery point.

    Space and Culture Box 797, Station B Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5P8 CANADA
