[-empyre-] One more day for "Bookshelf" on empyre

[Renate Ferro]

Hi everyone, 
It has been so much fun to see what you are all sharing this month.  A friendly reminder that we will be cutting off this month's all call on Sunday so please feel free to send something in and don't forget your bio. 
All Call_________________________________________________________________
Happy New Year -empyre-  We are 2,335 listserv members strong.  We have had an influx of new members over the last several months and we want to take this new year to welcome you and our entire group to participate actively.
  
This is our nineteenth year as listserv.  In 2002 -empyre- soft-skinned space was launched to create a “third space” or a “soft-space,” one that is accessible and inclusive to all artists, writers, theorists, curators, and others interested in sharing critical cross-disciplinary perspectives on contemporary issues, practices, and events in networked media.  Over these last nineteen years we have nurtured global participants, including those beyond the USA and Western Europe, to discuss intersectional topics that bring together race, gender, and regional bias.  We encourage all subscribers to extend an invitation to other colleagues who may be interested in participating in our listserv to enrich our diverse community.  

This January, 2021 we launch an open call to our members.  What’s on your “bookshelf” in 2021?  Share a list of the books, online publications and other resources (digital or otherwise) that are on your bookshelf this year.  If you are a writer, artist, curator or technologist what has been influencing your own research and production. Do you have a new publication?  Please share these titles, publication information and links as well. 

Please post your biography at the end of your post to introduce yourself to the listserv.

PUT YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT HEADING for identification. 

Just as a reminder all posts go through a moderation site.  We ensure that no spam or advertisements are sent through to our members’ Inboxes. 

We've all come to marvel at the diverse nature of our monthly topics. What has been most fascinating for us is to consider the power of 
this online forum and how the rhizomatic flow between our subscribers¹
research and projects directly imprint upon the ebb and flow of our global
identity. That flow can be reviewed through our ¬empyre archive generously hosted by
the University of New South Wales since 2002.

Our ¬empyre website is hosted by Cornell University

Over the next few months our website will be updated.  

We also extend a general invitation to any of our subscribers who would like to host a discussion topic over the months of 2021. We can assist your through the process of hosting a monthly topic. Please contact Renate Ferro at rferro at cornell.edu. 

Happy New Year and please stay safe.
