Subject: MLA Special Session Announcement
Please distribute as appropriate.
You are invited to preview the following Modern Language Association
Convention '98 special session at our web site given below:
Session # 553 -
Metaphors and Computer Technologies;
or, How to Deconstruct the Information Age
Tues. Dec 29, 12-1:15pm, Union Square 13, Hilton
http://www.humnet.ucla.edu/people/wayne/mla98
We have paper abstracts, drafts and extracts, with lots more coming!
This is a fully interactive site, so you are invited to contribute your
questions, comments and links.
We will have a "virtual pre-session," aka a web-based chat, on
Monday, Dec.
14, 7pm Pacific Standard Time. We will "prime the pump" with
statements based
on our papers, but we look forward to your questions and comments!
(Note that the pre-session chat software requires that Java be active in
your
browser. Email me at waynem@humnet.ucla.edu if you have questions about
that.)
Even if you're not a technophile, you may find it interesting to
participate
in this experimental site. Do new forms of communication mean new forms
of
professional exchange? Can scholarship benefit?
