Hi all,
 
The LITSCI-L list is now on software called "Sympa." You do *not* need
to do anything to continue to receive messages or in order to be able to
send messages to the list. The list address is still LITSCI-L@DUKE.EDU
.
 
Those of you who were previously subscribed to *both* LITSCI-L and
LITSCI-L-DIGEST are now subscribed only to the digest version. It should
be more regular and reliable than the previous digest. You can switch to
the regular version of the list through the email commands or Web
interface described below.
 
You can control many aspects of the list through its Web interface:
 
http://lists.duke.edu
 
You will need to create a "New user" account first. A temporary
password will be sent to your email address. Follow the links given to
change the password or to log in to the service. (Duke users should just
log in using their NetIDs.)
 
After you log in, you can adjust how the list sends messages to you by
clicking on LITSCI-L in the "Your Lists" section. Then click on
"Subscription Options." Under "Reception Mode," you should be set to
"standard (direct reception)" or "digest plain text format." You can,
for instance, set the list to "no mail" for vacations or when you will
be away from email. Click on the "Help" link to read about other
options.
 
If you prefer, you can skip the Web interface and send equivalent
commands through email to SYMPA@DUKE.EDU :
 
subscribe LITSCI-L
unsubscribe LITSCI-L
set LITSCI-L nomail
set LITSCI-L mail
set LITSCI-L digestplain
 
Please let me know if you experience any difficulties.
 
Best,
 
Wayne Miller

Subject: 	FWD: WRYTING-L email list for theory and writing

WRYTING-L
 
As the open spaces of the internet narrow between bureaucracy and
greed, email lists become ever more important. The aim of WRYTING-L is
to maintain a balance between dissemination and conversation, to offer
the possibility of a space of writing not overdetermined by academic
rule, party line or limit of genre. All kinds of writing and
discussion
are welcome. The list is run with a minimum of management by Alan
Sondheim and Sandy Baldwin, and is open to all.
 
WRYTING-L is an email list for theory and writing, focusing on texts
and comments presented by the participants. The list is managed out of
the Center for Literary Computing at the West Virginia University. It
is
open to anyone, in or outside the University.  The object is to
provide
a forum for writing and theory that may not fit within the confines of
a
particular discipline, in recognition of the recent interest in
operating between and across theories and genres in the humanities and
beyond.
 
We're interested in all sorts of issues - 'avant-garde' pieces,
psychoanalytical, phenomenological, or deconstructive approaches, etc.
 
Wryting is cross-platform, cross-gender, cross-reason;  it may involve
embodiments of reader and writer, codework and sestinas, abstract
language, the collapse of genre.
 
If you are working with images, please give a URL; they won't come
through the list. If you are working on an extremely long piece, you
might want to give a URL as well (there is a 500-line limit on every
post). 
 
WRYTING-L stems from the older fiction-of-philosophy list, which
presented work between literature and theory, fiction and poetry,
philosophy and lyric, and so forth. Any discussion and original work
is
welcome. To join send the message
 
"subscribe wryting-l [your email address] [your name]"
 
without the quotation marks and square brackets to
 
listserv@listserv.wvu.edu 
 
Alternatively, you can go to the following online subscription screen:
 
http://listserv.wvu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=wryting-l&A=1 
 
A digest option is available.
