Subject: PMC 5.3
The May, 1995 issue of Postmodern Culture is now available.
The issue includes essays on madness, the mired sublime,
indexical criticism, Pynchon's Vineland, Gertrude Stein,
stupid undergrounds; plus poetry, music, reviews, notices,
letters from readers, and a popular culture column on the
video game "Theme Park."
The World-Wide Web version of this issue of Postmodern
Culture, with full hypermedia capabilities, is available
on a server run by the Institute for Advanced Technology
in the Humanities, at:
http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/pmc/issue.595/contents.595.html
The issue is also available by gopher, ftp, and electronic
mail:
HOW TO GET PMC BY E-MAIL:
To automatically receive the table of contents each time a new
issue is published, send an email message to the internet address
listserv@listserv.ncsu.edu with the one and only line:
subscribe pmc-list [your name]
To retrieve the items listed in the table of contents, send a
mail message to listserv@listserv.ncsu.edu, containing as its one
and only line the command
get pmc-list [fn.ft]
(replace [fn.ft] with the filename and filetype for the file you
want to receive, as listed in the table of contents). There
should be no blank lines, spaces, or other text preceding this
line--however, you can type more than one get command in your
mail to listserv, as long as each command is on its own line.
More detailed Listserv instructions are available in the file
NEWUSER.PREFACE: to retrieve this file, send mail to
listserv@listserv.ncsu.edu with the command
get pmc-list newuser.preface
HOW TO GET PMC BY ANONYMOUS FTP:
All PMC files are available via anonymous ftp; to retrieve items
in this way, you will need to be on the internet. To connect to
the ftp server, type the following at your command prompt,
hitting the enter key at the end of each line of commands:
ftp jefferson.village.virginia.edu
Once you are connected, you can log in as "anonymous" or "ftp"
using your email userid as a password. When you have logged in,
type:
cd pub/pubs/pmc/issue.595
To make sure that the ftp program expects to transfer ascii text,
type
ascii
at this point. Now you can transfer individual files or groups
of files. To transfer an individual file--for example, this
table of contents--type:
get contents.595
You will probably need to use only lowercase letters when you
ask ftp for PMC files.
To transfer a group of files--for example, the entire January,
1995 issue of PMC--type:
prompt
mget *.595
When you're done with your file tranfer, type "quit" to return to
your own command prompt.
HOW TO GET PMC BY GOPHER:
If you have access to a gopher client, you will find PMC's gopher
server at:
jefferson.village.virginia.edu
Once you've connected, choose "Publications of the Institute" and
then choose "Postmodern Culture": you will find a menu listing all
published issues of the journal, and within each issue, full text
of all the issue's contents.
