CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
Now inviting submissions for
HENRY STREET vol. 5.2
A Graduate Review of Literary Studies
_Henry Street_, formerly known as _Critical Mass_, is in its fifth year.
We aim to provide an international forum for graduate students of English
and related disciplines. The editors, themselves graduate students, are
committed to providing their colleagues with the opportunity to publish
their own work and to read their work of others in their field.
_Henry Street_ invites contributions of critical essays, short fiction and
poetry from graduate students in English or a related discipline. We also
welcome essays on pedagogy, the job market, graduate programs, and other
topics of interest to graduate students. We aim especially to publish and
promote a species of criticism that, in the words of one of our
contributors, "combines the personal with the scholarly."
_Henry Street_ is indexed by the MLA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue 5.1 of _Henry Street_ contains:
* Lisa Garmire (UCLA-Santa Barbara), "Borrowing Time from AIDS," with a
"Selected Annotated Bibliography of American AIDS Novels"
* Roy Sexton (Ohio State U), "'Steven Doesn't Understand No': Masculinity
and Escapism in the Films of Steven Spielberg"
* Bonnie Surfus (U of Southern Florida), "Strange Attractors in Pynchon's
_Vineland_"

>
> First-ever critical edition made expressly for the Net. It's Leibniz.
> URL: http://www.znort.it/suiseth/drole/drole.html
>
> ============================================================
>
> It is available on the World-Wide Web a new critical edition of a
> short writing concerning the diffusion and popularization of the
> scientific culture, composed in 1675 by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
>
> The edition didn't appear in print before, and it should be the first
> critical edition expressly made for the Web (perhaps the first made for
> the Net in general).
>
> It was produced independently from the preceding editions (one, quite
> defective, by Gerland, and another in the so called Akademie Ausgabe of
> Leibniz's writings), working directly on the manuscript, and the
> critical apparatus is original.
>
> The text was written in French and its title is: "Drole de Pensee,
> touchant une nouvelle sorte de representations" (Funny idea of a new
> kind of public spectacles). In this quite striking essay, Leibniz
> exposes the idea to organize in 17th century Paris a sort of permanent
> scientific exhibition and technological park, to bring to a wide public
> the most interesting and curious results of the technical and
> scientifical work at his time.
>
> It is presented in a hypertextual edition, with text variants and
> "notes", together with various material on Leibniz, an Italian
> translation and (in the future) an English one.
>
> The edition resides on the WWW site of Znort! srl, in a branch devoted
> to the Suiseth Research Project on Web publishing. It is dedicated to
> the Laboratorio dell'Immaginario Scientifico (LIS), a permanent
> institution for the diffusion of the scientific culture based in
> Trieste, Italy.
>
> It's offered freely to the users on the Net. The content of the edition is
> shareright: anyone may reproduce this material - mentioning the source -
> if her recipients may also reproduce it.

>
> Considered by Norbert Wiener a "patron saint of cybernetics",
> Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was born in Leipzig in 1646. He was an
> esteemed diplomat and jurist, but at the same time an outstanding
> mathematician, philosopher, and historian, contributing also to physics,
> theology, and the theory of language. He devised calculating machines
> and developed formal logic, founded scientific academies, invented
> binary arithmetic and the infinitesimal calculus. He lived in unceasing
> intellectual activity till he died in Hanover in 1716.
