[Air-l] WRYTING-L email list for theory and writing

[Charles Baldwin]

WRYTING-L

As the open spaces of the internet narrow between bureaucracy and
greed, email lists become ever more important. The aim of WRYTING-L is
to maintain a balance between dissemination and conversation, to offer
the possibility of a space of writing not overdetermined by academic
rule, party line or limit of genre. All kinds of writing and discussion
are welcome. The list is run with a minimum of management by Alan
Sondheim and Sandy Baldwin, and is open to all.

WRYTING-L is an email list for theory and writing, focusing on texts
and comments presented by the participants. The list is managed out of
the Center for Literary Computing at the West Virginia University. It is
open to anyone, in or outside the University.  The object is to provide
a forum for writing and theory that may not fit within the confines of a
particular discipline, in recognition of the recent interest in
operating between and across theories and genres in the humanities and
beyond.

We're interested in all sorts of issues - 'avant-garde' pieces,
psychoanalytical, phenomenological, or deconstructive approaches, etc.

Wryting is cross-platform, cross-gender, cross-reason;  it may involve
embodiments of reader and writer, codework and sestinas, abstract
language, the collapse of genre.

If you are working with images, please give a URL; they won't come
through the list. If you are working on an extremely long piece, you
might want to give a URL as well (there is a 500-line limit on every
post). 

WRYTING-L stems from the older fiction-of-philosophy list, which
presented work between literature and theory, fiction and poetry,
philosophy and lyric, and so forth. Any discussion and original work is
welcome. To join send the message
