[AktiviX] New issue of e-journal

[Drew Whitworth]

Dear all, 

If you'll forgive this plug for the new issue of my e-journal, out 
now: 

"TANGENTIUM is an online journal devoted to the discussion of 
alternative 
perspectives on IT, politics and society. Its task is to enquire how 
the 
information and communications technologies which are becoming so 
important in our lives impact upon matters such as social relations, 
education, democracy, and our relationship with the world itself. 
Rather
than presenting arguments drawn from a narrow technical perspective 
it
seeks support from other fields of knowledge whether in the 
humanities, 
social sciences or natural sciences in order that we can better 
understand
the fields in which we work. 

The March 2004 issue has just been released. Its theme is 'Cyberspace
and the Noosphere'. What do we actually mean when we use the term
'cyberspace'? The essays presented in this issue try and answer this
question by drawing on concepts from environmental studies and 
exploring 
their interaction with information and communication technologies. 

Tangentium is edited at the School of Computing, University of Leeds, 
and
can be read at http://www.tangentium.org/ . Comments and 
contributions
to future issues are more than welcome: see the relevant pages on the 
site
or e-mail the editor, Drew Whitworth, on drew at comp.leeds.ac.uk. "


Incidentally, I'm interested in taking contributions for the May 
issue on Anarchism and the Free Software Movement... about which many 
on this list would have interesting things to say. Some of you are 
already aware of this, but the more the merrier really so contact me 
if you are interested in writing something. 

Yours, Drew
