Subject: PHIL-LIT
Philosophy and Literature, the interdisciplinary journal published by the Johns Hopkins University Press, sponsors an electronic-mail list service for philosophers and literary critics, scholars, and theorists. PHIL-LIT offers news, job and book announcements, calls for papers, contents of journals, and conference plans. Subscribers post queries, trade inside information and advice, preview drafts of articles and reviews, dispute, praise, congratulate, refute, and defend one another.
Recent discussions have included poetry and deconstruction, Holocaust-denial and free speech, Plato, the rhapsodes, and poetic madness, Aristotelian catharsis, intention, rules, and conventions in language and criticism, Lyotard's Differend, jargon and nonsense in literary theory, and many other subjects.
PHIL-LIT serves as a single source of information and the exchange of ideas--an electronic newsletter run on democratic principles. Like the journal it serves, it owes allegiance to no particular school or style of criticism, and is open to anyone who takes a serious interest in philosophical interpretations of literature, literary investigations of classic works of philosophy, philosophy of language, and literary theory.
