Cyberculture on LISTPROC@CMHC.COM
---------------------------------
Cyberculture - Discussion of the implications of
subjectivity and community in cyberspace
We are all dwelling in cyberspace, coursing through the
wires, becoming cyborg and becoming human, alone at the
keyboard, together online. We are subjects of a realm
which offers new ways of envisioning Self and Other(s),
and where a global cyberculture is in the process of
creation. Cyberculture is devoted to an examination of
the new subjectivities and collectivities that are
emerging. We are interested in the cultural, political,
philosophical and psychological issues engendered, on
all levels of the social.
The Cyberculture email list is not a community-forming
enterprise as such, but a place to discuss culture and
community online. The list will remain focused on these
topics; it will also be a clearing-house for work-in-
progress, calls for papers, and so forth.
Some issues that may be relevant:
* the formation (or ad hoc re-constitution) and functioning
of online communities, such as Quake Clans or MUD/Usenet/
e-mail groups;
* the place of the political in online communities and
the functioning of power online;
* work on sex, gender, race, sexual behaviour in relation
to online (virtual) subjectivity;
* the implications of symbolic and technological extensions
of the human (cyborg, android theory, etc.);
* financing the Net, the production of the Net consumer,
and so forth;
* the social implications of computer interfaces and
operating systems - in other words, the role of the
apparatus in online behavior and community;
* and the interactions between online and offline culture
(how social/cultural ideas shape online and offline
'realities').
This will be a relatively open list - posts on all aspects
of cyberculture will be welcomed. We stress, however, that
our intent is to explore these issues in the broadest sense,
within a focused, substantial discussion, with a minimum
of distraction.
One concern we hope to address is the way in which much
theoretical work on cyberspace to date reflects an
exclusive, hegemonic bias, thus foreclosing some of the
most interesting and radical possibilities for the
development of cyberculture. We plan to challenge
ourselves and the list members to integrate issues of
race, gender, class and multiculturalism in our
examinations and theories of cyberspace.

Europsych on majordomo@human-nature.net
---------------------------------------
Email forum on European Psychotherapy -
East and West
Europsych is concerned to foster exchange of information
about psychotherapy in Europe - East and West. We hope
that subscribers will share information about
psychotherapy facilities, training and research in
their countries so that others can be better informed
and so that ideas, writings and expertise can be shared.
Practitioners of all approaches to psychotherapy are
welcome, and subscribers to the list are expected to
relate constructively (or silently) to approaches other
than their own. 'All' includes psychodynamic, behavioural,
brief, solution-focussed, gestalt, etc, as well as group
therapy, art psychotherappy, drama therapy, dance therapy, etc.
It is hoped that people who join the list and are in a
position to do so should sketch the situation in their
country - numbers of practitioners and approaches, trainings,
provision for payment, institutional and intellectual
issues and whatever other topics may seem relevant and
interesting.
A particularly interesting topic is the situation and
development of psychotherapy in Eastern Europe and
possibilities for mutual support, exchanges and the
development of distance learning projects.

object-relations on majordomo@human-nature.net
----------------------------------------------
Object Relations in Psychoanalysis
It would be a pity to predetermine the scope and
emphases of this forum, but its inspiration is an
interest in Klein, Bion, Post-Kleinians, Winnicott,
Fairbairn, Guntrip and other and more recent writers
in the object relations tradition within psychoanalysis.
There is an existing list on Bion and there is an
object relations web site, but there is no forum or
web site specifically dedicated to this particular stratum
of psychoanalytic theory. This forum and its associated
web site are designed to fill this void.
Any topic within the broad domain mentioned above is welcome.
In addition to theoretical, clinical and historical issues,
we are particularly interested in encouraging applications
to the object relations tradition to literature, film and
other aspects of culture, cultural studies, groups,
institutions and politics. Interventions aimed at mounting
critiques of this tradition, broadly conceived, are also
welcome. However, civility must be the norm.
