Subject: The V-Girls are looking for a grant

I am part of a performance/reading group called the V-Girls. Our activities
in the past have been limited to reading (mostly psychoanalytic and feminist
criticism) and performing. Our performances are mock-panels during which we
read "papers," which, although coming from a perspective entirely sympathetic
with academic aims (many of us are in fact academics), are satires aimed
at a critique of authority within the academy, among other things. We have
performed at the MLA convention in Chicago, Brown University, the CAA
conference in San Francisco, among other places.

Now, we are beginning a new project: we are writing a book which will,
if we continue on the track we began, deal with our place in the history
of feminist activity, and also with the ways we feel our own stake in the
criticism we formed the group to read.

We are looking for a grant to cover air transportation for the group member
who moveed to San Francisco (we are based in N.Y.C.), so that we can
continue to meet in person.

I was hoping that someone "out there" would know of a funding source.

I need to find the source for the following quote: "What fresh hell is
this?" If anyone can help, I would be most appreciative.

Subject: Graduate Level Francophone Studies Programs

We are trying to identify Departments of French that offer MA and PhD degrees i
n Francophone studies. We are especially interested in noting the mix of cultur
e/history/civilization courses with the study of literary texts from Africa, Ca
nada and the Caribbean.

Subject: Post-Colonial literature in English

Humanists:

A colleague of mine is looking for a discussion group handling post-
colonial literature in English. Does anyone know of such a group?
(For example, literature of Australia, Nigeria, Canada, etc.)

Thanks.

Subject: Exchange between New York and Paris

My wife, an assistant professor of English at Queens College/CUNY, wishes
to participate in an existing exchange program with the University of
Paris. She is therefore seeking someone of comparable rank from there who
would like to spend 1993-94 teaching in the English Department at Queens.
An exchange of apartments could (but need not) be a part of the arrange-
ment. Please direct any queries to me at <jqrqc@cunyvm.cuny.edu>.

Subject: Thomas Aquinas on CD-ROM

Has anyone see and used the Thomas Aquinas on CD-ROM from Editel? Care to give
a brief review? Or will it be shown at AAR/SBL?

I'm interested in acquiring it, but I'd like to know a bit more about it.
Which text is it based upon? Is it the Latin text only? How effective is the
retrieval software?

Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to share their experience with it.

Subject: Jean Passerat

Dear Humanists,
I could like to begin a study of the Renaissance Neo-Latin poet
Jean Passerat, among others, yet I have so far been unable to find much
information about him except in the Catalogue de la B.N. or Joecher's
Allgemeiner Gelehrten-Lexikon. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Sincerely yours,
Marc Bizer
