re: britney

my wife Deirdre Day-MacLeod wrote a brilliant article on britney and the
cultural history of the belly button for brittanica.com back when they
were doing some interesting stuff (roger brown was the editor -- anyone
know where he is?).

unfortunately, we never saved the webpage (only paper copies) and now it
is gone. anyone have any suggestions for how to retrieve it? the article
is well worth reading.

Wanted: Chapter on the Web and self-help, for "Web.Studies" book

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
WANTED: CHAPTER ABOUT PEOPLE USING THE
WEB FOR 'SELF-HELP' SUPPORT
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

SUMMARY:

We are editing the second edition of the book
"Web.Studies: Rewiring Media Studies for the Digital
Age", and we are looking for someone who is able to write
a chapter on how the Web is used by people for 'self-
help' purposes -- for example, gaining support to get
through a particular illness, or traumatic stage of life.
Discussion of other ways in which people use the Web to
transform their everyday existence (e.g. to develop their
self-worth) would also be welcome as part of this. The
piece should be 3,500 words and written in an accessible,
introductory style.

If you are someone who could do this -- and have it
written by 15th October 2002 -- then please get in touch
with us (email david <at> theory.org.uk). If you can forward
this to anyone you know who might be able to help, please
do. Thank you very much.

A FEW DETAILS:

The first edition of "Web.Studies" was published in
August 2000. Several reviewers have described it as an
"excellent" introduction to new media issues for students

Re: Britney


Kudos to yr daughter Greg.  Pink's record--at least what I know of it, which is the brilliant "Don't Let Me Get
Me"--may be the first flowering of a *real* punk sensibility on the pop charts since Cobain died ... under
cover of dance music, no less.

p.s. The nine-year old in this house has no time for Britney.  It is Pink all 
the way.  Last weekend she sang the whole 'Missundaztood' album, 
accapella, to her best friends Haneen and Dana in the pup tent set up in 
the front yard.  Really.  It took almost an hour.  Swear words replaced by 
giggles ... and I wonder if Republicans think that Bob Dole 'sold out' to 
Britney too.

I'm interested to know what studies have been done on girls (not women) and
the Internet and/or World Wide Web.
