CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

CULTURE MACHINE
http://www.culturemachine.net

'Scientists from all major Dutch universities officially launched a
website a couple of weeks ago where all their research material can be
accessed for free. Interested
parties can get hold of a total of 47,000 digital documents from 16
institutions the Digital Academic Repositories.'
('Narratives in Media and eCommunication: A blog by Álvaro Ramírez',
posted June 05, 2005)


Culture Machine is currently seeking contributions to a similar
international open access archive - in this case for cultural studies
and related fields: new media, digital culture, communication and media
studies, visual culture, literary, critical and cultural theory,
post-colonial theory and so on.

The archive, called CSeARCH, which stands for Cultural Studies
e-Archive, is completely free to download from and upload into.

You can find CSeARCH at:

http://www.culturemachine.net/csearch

Here you can browse the archive and read and download its contents. It
already contains over 500 books, book chapters, journal issues,
articles, interviews and lectures by everyone from Adorno, Agamben,
Badiou and Baudrillard, through Deleuze, Flusser, Foucault, Kittler,
Luhmann and Mouffe, to Nancy, Negri, Poster, Stiegler, Virilio, Virno
and Zizek, to mention just some of the most well known names.

What's more, recent figures suggest research published as 'open access'
is between two and four times more likely to be read and cited than if
it is published in print-on-paper form only.

To upload work into the archive go to the 'Submit' page. Fill in the
brief details and you'll then be sent a login name and password via
e-mail together with a direct link. Click on the link and you'll be
there - no need to login at that point the first time. (The password
just ensures no one but you can edit your entries.)

Thanks, Gary
