Subject: New List: Perform-L



A new discussion group, PERFORM-L, has been formed. It's intention is to
facilitate the exchange of ideas, texts, hypertexts, syllabi, book lists, and
what have you regarding "performance" in the broad sense. That is, to look at
performance in various contexts: aesthetic, political, historical, theoretical,
ritual, sportive, popular entertainments, performance in everyday life. This
kind of approach has been at the heart of NYU's Department of Performance
Studies.

We welcome people to join the list to participate, to listen in, to augment and
sharpen the various ways that the "performance paradigm" can be useful in
social life, academic life, artmaking, ritualizing, gaming, playing, and so on.
We want to see these questions explored from an intercultural and multicultural
perspective; and we certainly would like people participating not only within
but from beyond the north American sphere of influence.

In order to subscribe send to in%"LISTSERV@ACFCLUSTER.NYU.EDU" the following
message only:

(Isobel Preece, U. of Newcastle, asked me to forward this announcement
to you all. --R.J.)



A new discussion list for Medieval and Renaissance Music has been set up using
the `mailbase' electronic information service based at the University of
Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The program runs automatically and you
communicate with it by using e-mail or (for retrieving files) ftp. To join the
list, send an e-mail message with the text:

join med-and-ren-music Joe Bloggs

(replacing `Joe Bloggs' with your own name) to the e-mail address:

mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk

If you have not used mailbase before, a User Commands Reference Card will be
sent to you when you join the list. This contains information on how to use
the service.

Most of your communications to the list will probably be short ones that can be
dealt with by the automatic program. If, however, you have papers or sets of
data that you wish to store in the list for others to retrieve, please contact
me personally.

Do, please, use the list and encourage your colleagues to do so. Please feel
free to forward this message to anyone who might be interested.

With best wishes,

Isobel Preece (Isobel.Preece@newcastle.ac.uk)
