Please feel free to spread the word widely:
LEA Special Issue: Technology and Difference
Guest Editor: Irina Aristarkhova (uspia@nus.edu.sg)
The Leonardo Electronic Almanac (ISSN No: 1071-4391) is inviting
papers that address the complex relationship between technology and
difference. Technology is often conceived as an ability to "create",
"innovate", "make"; all that which differentiates: 'man' from
'nature'; human from animal. It is seen as a path to 'God(s)' and
'community', sociality, spirituality, and consciousness.
It plays out sexual difference in its separation of human creative
ability from 'natural reproduction', though this separation has been
radically challenged by the recent reproductive technologies and
legal issues associated with the notion of ownership of biological
matter.
Cultural differences are enacted in differentiations of
'technologically advanced' from 'technologically backward' cultural
traditions, often evidenced in statistics on use and proliferation of
such technologies. There are significant differences how cultures
approach this question of 'technology' both in art and science,
albeit they are rarely presented and poorly understood.
In the past few decades, however, a new optimism has been propagated
of a technology that is said to operate as a de-differentiating
force: it builds bridges, it unites, it globalizes (for better or for
worse), it brings us closer. It goes beyond 'old' differences:
ethnic, sexual, cultural, animal, towards 'new' differences between
human and (intelligent) machine, human and post-human, human and
transgenic or artificial species.
We call for papers that critically address, but are not limited to,
the following topics:
- -Technology and sexual difference: concepts, history, aesthetics;
notion of ownership in reproductive bio-technologies, cultural
differences in figurations of gender and technology.
- -Technology and animal / species difference: responsibility and
bio-technology; animal Otherness and bio-tech research; transgenic
aesthetics and definitions of human.
- - Technology and cultural / ethnic difference: politics of the local;
different cultural approaches to technology; new media art and
cultural / geographical specificity.
LEA encourages international artists / academics / researchers /
students to submit their proposals for consideration. We particularly
encourage authors outside North America and Europe to send proposals
for articles/gallery/artists statements.
Proposals should include:
- ----------------------------------------
- - 300 word abstract / synopsis
- - A brief author biography
- - Any related URLs
- - Contact details
Deadline for proposals: 31 June 2003

burst of art has been the attempt to think that we have made it, that we =
have achieved the absolute, in books, in philosophy, in art. And we have =
created a shield against that through our culture. Today we are now =
realizing that it may be over. Canetti wished to seize this blind point =
beyond which "things have stopped being true", where history has stopped =
existing without our realizing it - without which realization we can =

In the summer term 2003 renowned artists and scientists will talk about
the growing influence of images on culture, society and science:
photography, mass media and computer technology have eminently increased
the impact of images on culture, society and science. Different image
concepts and phenomena will be discussed from an interdisciplinary point
of view. More information: http://www.iconic-turn.de/

Subject: gpgNet eForum: Agricultural R&D- Consequences of the Shifting Balance from Public to Private
Dear Colleagues,
I invite your participation in the discussion forum "Agricultural
Research and Development: Consequences of the Shifting Balance from
Public to Private" to be held on the global public goods Network
(http://www.gpgNet.net) platform from 26 May to 9 June 2003.

Considering the shift towards an increasing importance of private
financing of agricultural R&D, the question arises: "Who will
undertake R&D that addresses the challenges of the poor in developing
countries?" Since the poor, along with other vulnerabilities, have low
incomes, they lack the purchasing power to pull private R&D
initiatives towards their problems and concerns. These facts are well
known. And yet, they do happen; and they do persist.
So, what could be done to change the current incentive structures of
governments in developing countries and their international
development partners to reconsider the matter and augment support--
public and private-- for agricultural R&D on problems of the poor?
The complete background paper to the discussion would shortly be
available at http://www.gpgnet.net/discussion.php
Please join us for this debate and share with us -and the global
public- your observations on this topic.
Yours sincerely,
Vikas Nath
