Cheung) Date: Tue, 12 Dec 1995 19:48:14 -0500 To: chriscd@jhu.edu Subject: Re: longwave web site The primary purpose of the Longwave and Social Cycles Resource Centre is to keep resources on the internet for those interested in longwaves and to promote the publications of Longwave Press. Longwave material at the present moment is widely scattered. Sometimes, important references are made to longwaves in books that are not catalogued in the library under the subject heading of long-wave. This makes research difficult. If there is an area, or a small number of areas linked together where the most up-to-date information can be located easily, I believe that would help longwave studies. We are looking for almost any type of longwave resource. Currently, we have a list for longwave books and published longwave journal articles. It would be ideal to be able to link these lists to book reviews and summaries of journal articles themselves. We are also looking for people who adhere to a particular longwave school of thought to give a summary of their views. New book announcements are welcomed. We will even post published papers, as long as it does not infringe on any copyright when posted on the internet. Thanks to the suggestion of Derek Hall, we even have longwave multimedia. To save us some work, when emailing bibilographical material or any other material, please format the material as much as possible. email: longwave@mail.north.net. I am a Systems Analyst who has always had an interest in the social sciences. But for practical reasons, I chose to study computer science instead. Currently, I am working with a government agency on an AVLC (Automatic Vehicle Location and Communications) project. regards, Edward Cheung.

We encourage proposals from both established academics and advanced graduate students to be sent via email, snailmail or fax to the relevant addresses included below: CALL FOR PAPERS -------- CALL FOR PAPERS -------- CALL FOR PAPERS JUSTICE AND POST-POLITICS An Interdisciplinary Forum UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL, UK SEPTEMBER 1996 Recent years have witnessed a series of fundamental shifts in political theory. There is much discussion about the arrival of the =ACglobal condition=86, and with it new challenges and opportunities. While some scholars have focussed on new dangers of domination and conflict, others have sought to highlight the possibilities opened up by the =ACInformation Age=86. While some assert the end of the state, History, and even of politics itself, still others argue that power, ideology, and violence remain embedded, their study being more urgent than ever. At such a point of apparent fracture, when longstanding conceptions of politics, practice, community, state and individual have been brought into question, it is useful to focus attention on those elements that unite scholars. One such issue of particular significance is a concern with the question of justice. =20 In seeking to explore disparate concepts of justice, individuality, ethics and community, this conference will aim to bring together critical scholars from all approaches in a forum for mutually-informing discussion aimed both to reframe the key issues of our age as we pass the Millennium, and chart possible new endeavours in research and enquiry. =09CONTRIBUTIONS: The organisers encourage contributions from a variety of disciplines including: politics; sociology; international relations; international political economy; cultural studies; geography; philosophy; film and media studies; drama and other interested parties. The organisers are particularly interested in papers that transcend disciplinary boundaries to address a wider audience.=20 =09 =09MAJOR THEMES: =09Justice and Technoculture=09=09=09=09 =20 Post-Politics and the Limits of Theory =09Possibilities of World Justice=09=09 Justice in a Post-Sovereign Age =09Justice and the Fragmentation of Community=09=09 Justice, Gender and the Political =09Ethics and Individual Action=09=09=09=09 The End of History and the End of Politics =09Justice and Death =09=09=09=09=09 Justice, Order and Capital =09CONVENERS: Ian Robert Douglas (tel: 0117-928-9000 ext.8076,=20 email:I.R.Douglas@bris.ac.uk);=20 Mark Passera (tel: 0117-928-9000 ext.8464,=20 email: M.Passera@bris.ac.uk); Richard Shapcott (tel: 0117-928-9000 ext.8464,=20 email: R.Shapcott@bris.ac.uk). =20 UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL, DEPARTMENT OF POLITICS, 12 Priory Road, Bristol, BS8 1TU, UK. tel: (0117) 928 7898 fax: (0117) 973 2133 Apologies for cross-posting
