Online Theory/Theory Online
We can speak of events only in the context of the problem whose
conditions they determine. We can speak of events only as
singularities deployed in a problematic field, in the vicinity of which
the solutions are organized. --G. Deleuze
I have a separate page dedicated
to
various approaches to the study of "cyberculture." Some of these
problematics include:
--The difficult matter of the virtual body,
including some comments I made a few years
back on
the
Dibble "Rape in Cyberspace" article
--Digital co-labor: I presentation a gave on collaborative
online
research that grew out of my work on the Postmodern
Spacings project
--Literary machines: an exploration of Joycean
hypertextuality
--Complexities of Networks:
My Emergent Essays project
--Archiving Modernity: My web project on The
1939 World's Fair Tiime Capsule
The links below present a tangle of sorts--mappings of my own
trajectories through various flights of reading and writing.
Deleuze and Guattari
My
article "Virtual Topographies: Smooth and
Striated
Cyberspace," in Cyberspace Textuality, Ed. Marie-Laure Ryan
(Bloomington: Indiana UP,
1999)
Smooth/Striated Cyberspace: A compilation of
comments on and about the WWW and its relation to D+G's "smooth space."
Pragmatic/Machinic: An Interview with
Guattari,
conducted by Charles Stivale in 1985.
Deleuze's ABC
Primer, also prepared by Charles Stivale
Postscript
on the Societies of Control by Deleuze, text-version archived at
the Spunk Library.

Baudrillard
Here is a link to my article
Baudrillard in Cyberspace, which
originally
appeared in Style 29 (1995): 314-327. Since 1995, when I first
put this article online, this webpage has found itself caught up in a
number of linkages to other Baudrillard pages. At the time, my
institution was called DeKalb College. It has since changed its name,
along with its server address. In the summer of 2004, my College
finally stopped mirroring the "dekalb.dc.peachnet.edu" server address.
As a result, most links to this article are now dead. Although
this article still exists "on" the map of the WWW, a minor change in
code has radically altered its ontological status. Don't believe me?
Follow my dead
links!
For a significant collection of Baudrillard's writing online, try Baudrillard
on the Web. UT Arlington's Project
Baudrillard provides an interesting blend of critical
material as well. Of course, there's Baudrillard's own
website at the European Graduate School, including numerous articles,
resources,
and more
links. Mine is dead, of course.
