Those of you who aren't too repelled by academic conferences might like to
know that the call for papers is out for the annual Twentieth-Century
Literature Conference at the U. of Louisville, Feb. 22-24, 1995. The deadline
is Oct. 2, postmark. The Conference covers work in all languages, and operates
according to a pretty broad definition of "literature"--i.e., we get film
papers, performance, samizdat publishing, and yes, stuff on the avant-garde. A
detailed "Call for Papers" with lots more info on it can be gotten from the
Conference director, Harriette Seiler, if you contact her at
hmseil01-AT-ulkyvm.louisville.edu.

I've just belatedly come across an issue of American Book Review (vol. 16, no.
5, Dec. '94-Feb. '95) that might be of interest to the list. It has a special
section on "The British Underground." Essays include Matthew Fuller, "Ink Is a
Body Fluid" (apposite to some recent postings!); Bruce ByPass, "Counter
Intelligence"; Sadie Plant, "Middle England Switches On"; Howard Slater,
"Public Energy"; another M. Fuller essay on "The Exploding Cinema"; Stewart
Home, "The Return of the Repressed"; and Allen Warner's review of Martin
Millar's Dreams of Sex and Stage Diving.
