This is to announce the full operation of Feedback, a theory-driven
Humanities weblog publication under the auspices of Open Humanities
Press (http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/feedback), and to fervently
solicit active participation in its readership and contents. The
publication arises as part of a dual effort to:
1) render the insights and bearings of contemporary critical theory
disposable to current rapid-fire transformations taking place in the
terrestrial eco-system, information and communications, demographics,
the arts, and related areas of cultural activity;
2) to effect a transition from the dominant discourse-parameters and
publication formats in conventional academic publications to the
communication and interactivity now facilitated by the electronic media.
Feedback is the umbrella for eleven largely autonomous but closely
interrelated desks covering the following areas: Aesthetics, Comparative
Media, Film, Education, Literature, New Ecologies, Performance, Science,
Sexualities, Theory, and Urbanities. Inquiries and solicitations should
be addressed to the desk chiefs who have assumed editorial duties in the
respective areas – or to us, Editorial.
Feedback is a website that is an outgrowth of open-access publishing and
the social contracts surrounding authorship and intellectual property
known as the Creative Commons. A good measure of any excitement that the
publication generates arises in the collective, non-profit ethos in
which such technological innovations as WordPress and such compendia and
data-bases as the Wikipedia were created. Feedback’s parent
organization, Open Humanities Press, is establishing itself as a leading
electronic publisher in the theory-driven Humanities.
The textual and visual posts comprising Feedback thus have an outreach
dwarfing the access afforded by conventional academic publications. It
gives us enormous pleasure to invite rigorous theoretical readers of
contemporary culture, performance, science and technology, sexualities,
the media, the eco-sphere, and its human settlement to join the
publication’s expression and community.
Kindly please pass this notice on to other students of culture amid
contemporary conditions who may be inclined to respond to our solicitation.
Sincere thanks for your kind attentiveness.
