Apologies for cross-posting... Please circulate We would like to inform you that the deadline for submissions to Issue #9: archives / filing has been extended to August 15. Abstracts should be sent before end of June. Organdi Quarterly (www.organdi.net ) is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal. It is free and international. Organdi Quarterly focuses on cultural issues of our time, is open to all forms of creation (painting, photography, cinema, video, music, writing...), and proposes a criticism on the evolution of societies. In the context of the constantly accelerating pace of our lives, progress in terms of storage capacity, editing, and publishing has expanded the possibilities for filing and the constitution of archives. A tool to explore and understand the past, archives have also become an essential element of self-definition for people. Citizens and communities build their own archives consumers store personal memories (emails, photos etc); and contemporary art, in a search for intelligibility and history, uses the archive as a material and a site of inquiry. This special issue seeks to investigate the contemporary need for archives. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: archives as sites of inquiry for history, critical theory, or anthropology; archives as a source of inspiration or political protest; the legal and political issues of filing; the technological use of filing devices and software. As usual, other contributions unrelated to the theme of the issue will be considered for the following sections of Organdi Quarterly: Letters to the Editors, Espace Libre (articles, interviews, documents), Books, Music, Cinema & the Arts (cultural reviews), Out of Frame (exhibitions). etc. Deadline: 15/08/2007 Please visit our site at www.organdi.net Please send all contributions to [log in to unmask] with "CONTRIBUTION" in the title For questions, send an e-mail to [log in to unmask] with "QUESTION" in the title Best regards, the Editors of Organdi Quarterly
