:: fibreculture:: has established itself as Australasia's leading forum 
for discussion of internet theory, criticism, and research. The 
Fibreculture Journal is a peer reviewed journal that explores the issues

and ideas of concern and interest to both the Fibreculture network and 
wider social formations. Themes of recent issues of the journal have 
included: Contagion and the Diseases of Information; Multitudes, 
Creative Organisation and the Precarious Condition of New Media Labour; 
and Mobility, New Social Intensities and the Coordinates of Digital 
Networks. Issues currently in process are: Distributed Aesthetics (to be

launched December 2005); Games Networks; and New Media, Networks and New

Pedagogies. 

Papers are other relevant works are invited for a General Issue of the 
Fibreculture Journal, to be published in the second half of 2006. 
Proposed contributions should fall within the ambit of the Fibreculture 
Journal??s interests, as below.

There are guidelines for the format and submission of contributions 
at  . These guidelines need to be 
followed in all cases. Contributions should be sent electronically, as 
attachments, to Andrew Murphie at a.murphie@unsw.edu.au 
. Articles not conforming to the 
Fibreculture Journal's style guide may not be considered. It is also the

case that, although the Fibreculture Journal editors will often work to 
edit manuscripts, we are not always able to publish articles that 
require extensive editing in order to conform to the standards of the 
journal.

The deadline for submissions is April 30, 2006. 

The Fibreculture Journal encourages critical and speculative 
interventions in the debate and discussions concerning information and 
communication technologies and their policy frameworks, network cultures

and their informational logic, new media forms and their deployment, and

the possibilities of socio-technical invention and sustainability. Other

broad topics of interest include the cultural contexts, philosophy and 
politics of: 

:: information and creative industries 
:: national strategies for innovation, research and development 
:: education 
:: media and culture, and 
:: new media arts 

The Fibreculture Journal encourages submissions that extend research 
into critical and investigative networked theories, knowledges and 
practices.

Subject: Personal plug: a weblog novel

Hi,

As you rush off into the holidays, I would like to point you to this
site:

http://thisblueball.com 

This is a personal project, a novel that has been published on the web.

I've released it under a Creative Commons license, something that I =
encourage you to consider for your artistic, literary and scholarly =
projects, as a way to replenish the intellectual commons that has been
so =
eroded by the expansion of copyright and even patent law. CC licenses =
cover the gamut from "no rights reserved" to "I want my rights, but fair
=
use is fair use."

http://creativecommons.org 

As for "This Blue Ball," you can download the text as PDF, view it as a
=
series of web pages, or set up a serial version to be delivered to you =
over a number of days (in imitation of its format as a weblog). The
serial =
edition arrives either as a plain-text email or as a private RSS feed. I
=
would appreciate feedback on how any of these work for you as readers. =
There will eventually be a print-on-demand version for sale for anyone
who =
wants the feel of a paperback.

The novel is social science fiction about a handful of intersecting
lives, =
an alien encounter, a government conspiracy, race in America, paranoia,
=
spirituality, desire, and the consequences of taking advice from "Dear =
Abby."

Best,

Wayne
