RE: killer clowns

Has anyone mentioned the presence of very sinister clowns in the artist 
Bruce Nauman's work (see "Clown Torture" and "Double No")? Samuel Beckett's 
tragic and pathetic clowns seem appropriate as well.

RE: killer clowns


I was looking at Mr. Bungle's first album, which has lots of Clown Art and 
remembered that you should look at the comic book Beautiful Stories for Ugly 
Children #1 "Cotton Candy Autopsy."

New international queer studies journal

Hi,
I'm posting it for a friend.
Joanna

--------------
We proudly announce the launch of the first issue of InterAlia
<http://www.interalia.org.pl>, an international refereed queer studies
journal from Poland.

The institutionalization of queer studies within Western—chiefly
U.S.—academic structures has given rise to the view that queer studies
is past its prime and the original, subversive impetus has been lost,
giving way to a "new order" which uncannily resembles the "old" one. We
have seen a queer canon solidified, queer careers established, and queer
theory itself largely geared to the needs and expectations of U.S.
academia. There is a growing sense that if queer studies is to survive
at all, it must relocate itself into a much more de-centralized domain.

We believe that queer studies should be practiced with both an emphasis
on local articulations of queer identities and queer politics, and a
serious engagement with
processes of "globalization." The wave is out, so to speak, and queer
studies continues to spread into ever new territories, geographically
and academically. InterAlia's mission is to bring together the most
varied international (if not postnational), transdisciplinary
perspectives. The project of queer studies has only just begun.

It is our hope that this electronic journal will secure a stronger place
for Eastern/Central European queer studies on the map and foster the
growth of queer communities. We count on our readers to use their email

help with R Williams cite

Hi List Members, I've read that Raymond Williams wrote that "any real theory
of communication is a theory of community."  Can anyone point me in the
direction of the proper citation for this statement?  Many thanks, Louise.

Indifference and boredom

Hello,

I'm looking for texts that address indifference or boredom. These are two
different yet overlapping concepts that just seem to be difficult to find work
on... And help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Robinder Kaur

Re: help with R Williams cite

*Raymond Williams* (1987, p. 313) did write that. Great statement too.
Unfortunately all I have to go along with that quote in my notes is the year
and page number...

Re: Indifference and boredom
