Subject: update on Fast Capitalism: Volume One (and beyond)


> I hope that you all had a good summer.  This should be an eventful autumn,
> on many fronts.  Sometime during the fall semester we should be posting
the
> first number of the new electronic journal, Fast Capitalism
> (www.fastcapitalism.com).  Over the summer we have received and reviewed
> many submissions.  As of now, we have accepted nine papers for the first
> number of the journal:
>
> Doug Kellner, "Media Culture and the Triumph of the Spectacle"
>
> Hannah Rippin, "Simple Concept, Mobile Outcome:  The Mobile Phone in
> Everyday Life"
>
> Jack Shuler, "Ever Onward:  The Frontier Myth and the Information Age"
>
> Robert Goldman et al, "Speed Scapes:  Representing Time-Space Relations in
> Corporate TV Ads"
>
> Robert Hassan, "Timescapes of the Network Society"
>
> Norman Denzin, "The War on Knowledge and Truth under Fast Capital"
>
> Robert Williams, "Politics and Self in the Age of Digital
Re(pro)ducibility"
>
> Charles Lemert, regular column called "Slow Thoughts on Old Subjects," the
> first installment of which will be on "Niebuhr's America"
>
> Emanuel Smikun, "Valuable Objects and their Differentiation in Social
Space
> and Time"
>
>
> This is shaping up to be a truly international journal; authors of the
nine
> accepted papers work in academic settings on three continents.
>
> We are already planning the second and third numbers of the journal.  In
> addition to publishing regular article-length contributions in those
> numbers, we will also run symposia on "Port Huron at 40" (interviews with
> founders of SDS and the New Left including Tom Hayden, Mark Rudd, Todd
> Gitlin and Dick Flacks) and on "The Internet and Academic Life."
>
> I hope to see all of you at our informal symposia during this coming
> academic year.  If you wnat to present your work in a friendly setting,
> please let me know.
