Subject: The concept of ma in Japanese aesthetics

I am writing on behalf of a friend, Flora Margalit, who is writing a Ph.D.
dissertation on the concept of "ma" in Japanese aesthetics--music. She is
interested in learning what has been published on this topic, including Ph.D.
dissertations. Any suggestions as to people or institutions that she should
contact? Has this topic ever been the subject of a symposium? Can anyone
supply names and addresses (e- or otherwise) of people who specialize in
aesthetics in Japanese culture, who may know about this topic? All leads
will be appreciated. Brenda Danet, Communication/Journalism and Sociology/
Anthropology, Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem. (Please reply to me personally;
thanks).

Subject: quotational reference

Does anyone out there remember the exact source and wording of
the quote about Greeks worshipping the holiness fo beauty, while
Jews worship the beauty of holiness?

Since this quotation raises the critical issue that makes the whole idea
of "intellectual property" (i.e., copyright and patent law) rather dubious,
I trust that responses will also be sent to--or summarized to--the HUMANIST
list.

Thanks.

Subject: Development

A colleague who has been inspired by seeing what comes into my Humanist
mailbox wants to dip his toes in the water. His field is third world
matters in general, development theory in particular. Does anyone know of a
list he could join?
