"No, it was the installation itself she hated, and tuning her reflexes to
the new system, body given over to pure sensation, inflicted without
passion... Maybe that was why the serious netwalkers, the original
inhabitants of the nets, hated the brainworm... Maybe that was why it was
almost always the underclasses, the women, the people of color, the gay
people, the ones who were already stigmatized as being vulnerable,
available, trapped by the body, who took the risk of the wire."
Melissa Scott, _Trouble and Her Friends_ (New York, Tor: 1994)
Cyborgs, as Anne Balsamo notes in the introduction to _Technologies of the
Gendered Body_, are everywhere. But who are they? As in so many other
areas, theorists of gender and sexuality are subverting the image of the
cyborg,
determinating the Terminator. Beginning with Donna Haraway's 1985 'A Cyborg
Manifesto,' the impact of computational and bio- technologies on identity
have been at the forefront of critical thinking in the arts and sciences.
Science fiction and the facts of our daily lives converge in Sandy Stone's
"war of desire and technology." CLGSA and COCH/COSH have joined forces
to boldly go...
Between Zero and One: Cybersexualities and the technologies of gender.
A call for papers.
We would particularly welcome papers addressing one or more of the
following:
: the politics and performance of (trans)gendering in cyberspace
: gender and sexuality in hyperfiction, science fiction and cyberpunk
: feminism, queer theory and the interactions of computational discourse and
cultural theory; cyborg feminism
: multimedia applications for the study/performance of gender and sexuality
in academia, the arts and sciences
: gender and sexuality in the history of computing
: artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and the alteration of gender and
sexuality
Please submit a title, a 500-word abstract, and a covering letter to:
Dr. Ian Lancashire

Subject: CALL: EUROLAN'01 WORKSHOP ON MULTI-LAYER CORPUS-BASED
ANALYSIS
******* EUROLAN 2001 WORKSHOP *******
MULTI-LAYER CORPUS-BASED ANALYSIS
July 30 - August 1, 2001
Iasi, Romania
http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~ide/Eurolan01-ws.html
Organizers:
Dan Cristea, University "A.I. Cuza", Iasi, Romania
Nancy Ide, Vassar College, USA
Daniel Marcu, ISI, University of Southern California
Massimo Poesio, University of Edinburgh
Corpora annotated for a variety of linguistic features are becoming
increasingly available. Part of speech annotated corpora are
commonplace; treebanks in a variety of languages are available or
under development; and corpora annotated for various features of
discourse, including co-reference and discourse structure, are also
available (e.g., the MUC corpora). In addition, large speech corpora
annotated with phonetic transcriptions and prosodic analysis and
various multi-lingual aligned corpora are available from centers such
as the Linguistic Data Consortium and the European Language Resources
Association.
This workshop will address issues of using corpora annotated for
multiple layers (e.g., syntax and discourse, prosody and part of
speech, etc.) or combining multiple layers of annotation in natural
language analysis. We invite submissions on the following topics:
o Research that exploits information on different
linguistic levels;
o Consideration and demonstration of the ways in which
information from different layers can be used in
automatic language processing;
o Compatibility of corpora annotated for different
linguistic layers, including means to harmonize
different annotation types and levels;
o Tools for exploiting different levels of annotation.
The workshop will be held over three consecutive evenings in
conjunction with the EUROLAN 2001 Summer School on Creation and
Exploitation of Annotated Language Resources, in Iasi,
Romania. Because EUROLAN 2001 is concerned with a wide variety of
types of linguistic annotation, the workshop will serve to complement
the content of lectures and tutorials that are part of the School's
main program. Registration for the workshop is included in the Summer
School registration fee.

Conference Announcement:
Wiring Memory: Cultural Heritage On-line
8-9 March 2001
University College Dublin
Belfield, Dublin 4
Sponsored by
Council of National Cultural Institutions
University College Dublin
Digital technologies are changing the way in which cultural institutions
provide access to their holdings, and the ways scholars can make their work
available to a wider audience. This two-day interdisciplinary colloquium
will focus on the role of the World Wide Web in promoting, publicising and
raising awareness of cultural material. It will investigate the theoretical,
practical, economic and technical considerations of building and maintaining
a cultural website.
The colloquium will provide delegates with an opportunity to hear lectures
by leading experts in the field including Marilyn Deegan, Peter Flynn, Lee
Ellen Friedland and George MacKenzie. In addition, seminars will provide
delegates with overviews to four areas critical to successful digitisation
of archives: text encoding (Judith Wusteman), imaging (David Jennings),
databases (Claire Cullen), and metainformation (Mary Burke and Susan
Schreibman). On Friday afternoon delegates will work in small breakout
groups to consider digital archive issues explored in the seminars, as well
as issues of budgeting, archive scope, audience and planning.
At the coffee and lunch breaks there will be an extensive poster and
demonstration sessions, during which cultural organisations and individuals
who maintain digital archives, as well as multimedia companies who have
implemented cultural sites, will discuss and demonstrate their work. Poster
session participants are especially welcome to apply.
For further colloquium details, including registration, please see
