advent of photography and cinema. We welcome papers including but not  
limited to the relationship between old and new technologies; virtual  
reality and illusionism; bourgeois entertainment; dilettantism and  
experimentation; interrogations of scholarly constructions of  
spectacle, attention, realism, and observation; cultural encounters;  
and competing regimes of visual consumption. Please submit an  
abstract (250 words) in the body of an e-mail message by April 15,  
2007 to Vance Byrd, U. of Pennsylvania, vbyrd <at> sas.upenn.edu.

Announcing a New Visible Evidence Listserv

Announcing a new Visible Evidence Listserv

The Visible Evidence community is happy to announce the birth of a new 
mailing list and archive.  The Visible Evidence Listserv is unmoderated 
and aims to continue to grow the community by providing a forum on 
documentary images, sounds, and situations in film, television, on the 
internet, in journals, in museums, in galleries, and on billboards (to 
name just a few).  The goals of the Listserv are:

1.	To provide a space of discussion for conference matters, including 
basic pragmatic concerns (travel, accommodation, and language queries, 
for example), format issues, conference size, and degrees of 
selectivity.
2.	To expand and maintain contact for the Visible Evidence community by 
providing a space for discussion of a range of historical, critical, 
theoretical, and pedagogical issues.
3.	To offer a space for announcements and questions concerning 
publications, distributions, festivals, retrospectives, installations, 
etc…
4.	To make available a centralized, archived, searchable database that 
will serve as a resource for everyone, including those with interests 
in documentary but who choose not to be regular subscribers to the 
Listserv.

To subscribe to the Listserv:
&#61655;	Email tvogan <at> indiana.edu.  In the subject line, type 
“subscribe VE list.”
A confirmation message with instructions on how to post messages to and 
navigate the archives will be sent.

Communication History Interest Group of the International Communication Association

Dear List:

Hello.  This message is intended for those in the cultural studies
community who are engaged in the field of communication, and interested
in helping to create a new interest group of the International
Communication Association.  This interest group will be dedicated to the
intersection of communication and history.  In a wicked show of
counter-intuitive pluck, I am calling it the "Communication History
Interest Group".

The initial process for creating this interest group involves
distributing a petition, and then holding our first organizational
meeting during the ICA San Francisco conference in May.

So, if this sounds like an interest group that piques your own interest,
please do the following:
	a)  reply to me (off list), and let me know that you're
interested in signing the petition to create the interest group  I will
send you a copy of the petition, which you will then send back to me
with your signature.
	b) remember that you must be a member of ICA for your petition
to count

Those who would like to see the petition before contacting me should
direct their attention below, where I have copied the petition.

(apologies for cross-posting)

Thanks,
Be seeing you,

Re: Looking to put together a panel--4Cs 2008

What are '4Cs'? Why is 'a particular type of traveler'
automatically 'White, male, able-bodied, and
heterosexual'? What are 'LGBT folks'? What are
'folks'?

Re: Looking to put together a panel--4Cs 2008

It said "dominant discourses that *address* a particular type of
traveler," which was then specified. 

For example, when I address petulant jerks who have some silly axe to
grind online, I perform a particular mode of address. Similarly,
petulant jerks who communicate online perform a mode of address that
tends to be condescending; they also tend to superficially express an
interest in discussion, when all they really want is to be a prick.

Cheers,
DS
