Hello everyone
After nearly three years in the making, it gives me great pleasure to
announce the publication of ANGELAKI 4.2: MACHINIC MODULATIONS: NEW
CULTURAL THEORY & TECHNOPOLITICS. As you will see from the e-flyer and
Table of Contents below, the issue contains contributions from many
distinguished authors and artists in the field of critical cultural
theory, technology, and politics. Consequently, I would be very
grateful if friends and colleagues would post the e-flyer on e-lists far
and wide. Copies can be obtained through Carfax - see the web address

Best wishes
John Armitage

'Since its inception in 1993, the journal _Angelaki_ has
established itself as a leading forum of theoretical reflection,
providing a practical refutation of all those who would celebrate
"the end of theory." Whether it is focused on thematic issues of
the most varied nature, introducing thinkers to English-language
readers, or treating a variety of problems in open issues,
_Angelaki_ challenges the complacency of the self-evident.
Required reading for the next millennium.'
Samuel Weber
