by Walter Kalaidjian, Postmodern Culture v.2 n.3
(http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/pmc/issue.592/kalaidji.592)- "Midway through the Reagan era, the crossing of the Great Depression's communal aesthetics and the contemporary avant-gardes was theorized from the conservative right as a stigma of neo-Stalinism."

- Censorship and the Arts in Canada
(http://arth.concordia.ca/censor/intro.htm)- By Leif Harmsen
This hypertext is a product of my survey of the place where Canadian censorship and the arts intersect. It is not complete. I have examined censorship in my home province of Ontario in particular and from my gay perspective.
- The Tech Classics Archive
(http://the-tech.mit.edu/Classics/titles.d.html)- This is a searchable archive of 375 classical Greek and Roman texts (in English translation), provided by The Tech at MIT. The original electronic sources for the works are freely available online.
- Lyotard Anti-Differand Page Alan Liu
- Normally, the Web is a dimension in which time is "noise." Time is what interferes with the reception of a long page or large image. One gets up and takes the dog out, looks up at the night sky, gets lost in the immensity of distance, comes back in with dew on one's hair--and all this time that large .gif image is STILL coming in.
- Transcopyright by Ted Nelson
- The on-line copyright problem may be resolvable by a simple, sweeping permission method. This proposed system, which anyone may use, allows broad re-use of materials in exchange for automatic tracking of ownership. Payment goes to the original publisher and credit to the original author. Nothing is misquoted, nothing is out of context (since the original context is immediately available), and users are not spied upon.
- The Elements of Style
- The Classic by William Strunk
- Utne Lens
- A biweekly Web publication from Utne Reader.
- Thomas Pynchon Home Page
- If you've never read Gravity's Rainbow I don't want to talk to you.
- McLuhan Quote-O-Rama
- Ramdom quotes from media guru Marshall McLuhan.
- Random House
- Bookstores and book publishers have been using the same age-old marketing techniques and technologies for a long time. Now, Random House has decided to go the high-tech route--we are starting experimental services on the Internet's World Wide Web. For now, what we've made available is the Web equivalent of a movie trailer: some bits and pieces that represent, in part, the full coverage of our books, from the many divisions of Random House, that we'll be providing via the Internet in the future.
- Being Digital by Nicholas Negroponte
- Excerpts from the book by the director of the MIT Media Lab.
- The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James.
- This page is my notes on James' classic study of religion. In addition to serving as a sort of "Cliff's Notes" for the book, it is also a home page for pointers to other information on the Net, pertinent to the various topics discussed.
- Communication Decency Act
- Gopher archive for the full-text of the Exon Bill (S. 314) in the Congress, which requires telecommunications service providers to be liable for the content housed on their networks.
- Why Censoring Cyberspace is Dangerous & Futile by Howard Rheingold.
- "Don't be fooled when some politician uses 'pornography and pedophiles on the Internet' as an excuse to cripple the most valuable technology America has going for it."
- Censoring Cyberspace by Philip Elmer-DeWitt, Time Magazine, November 21, 1994
- Carnegie Mellon's attempt to ban sex from its campus computer network sends a chill along the info highway.
- Hypertext Hotel, WWW Entrance
- This is a project which was started by Robert Coover in the Hypertext Fiction Workshop at Brown University about four years ago, and has been expanded to roughly novel-length over those years, being ported through three hypertext systems in the process.
- The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord
- La Société du spectacle was first published in November 1967 by the Paris publishers Buchet-Chastel. The disturbances of 1968 made the book known. A second edition, strictly unaltered, was issued in 1971 by Editions Champ Libre, a publishing house whose name was changed to Editions Gerard Lebovici in 1984 in the wake of the murder of the publisher. That edition was reprinted regularly until 1991. The text of this third edition is also identical to that of 1967. (Naturally, the same principle will be applied to my other books, all of which are to be republished by Gallimard; I am not someone who revises his work.)
- The Temporary Autonomous Zone by Hakim Bey
- Influential anarchist text. Anti-copyright, 1985, 1991. May be freely pirated & quoted -- the author & publisher, however, would like to be informed.
- Institutional Circuitry: Thinking About the Forms and Uses of Information by Philip E. Agre
- In this issue we have been asked to speculate upon the future of information, and I would like to begin by unpacking some of the assumptions bound up in this phrase, "the future of information".
- Networking on the Network by Philip E. Agre
- The Internet and other digital networks are currently undergoing explosive growth. Several million people employ electronic mail for some significant portion of their professional communications. Yet in my experience few people have figured out how to use the net productively. A great deal of effort is going into technical means for finding information on the net, but hardly anybody has been helping newcomers figure out where the net fits in the larger picture of their own careers. These notes are a first attempt to fill that gap, building on the most successful practices I've observed in my fifteen years on the net. I will focus on the use of electronic communication in research communities, but the underlying principles will be applicable to many other communities as well.
- As We May Think by Vannevar Bush
- An important article first published in the July 1945 issue of The Atlantic Monthly by Vannevar Bush, considered the father of modern-day hypertext/hypermedia.
