Subject: PERFORM Business Matters
Here are a few matters of PERFORM-related business:
1) If your e-mail address changes or is discontinued, please
unsubscribe from PERFORM before termination of your old address.
(Don't forget to re-subscribe with your NEW address!) Also, when
e-mail accumulates in your reader, there is sometimes no room to
receive additional mail. In all of these cases, undeliverable
mail bounces back to the list owner. In order to avoid overload,
I have adopted the policy of resetting list options to NOMAIL for
any account that has bounced mail back five consecutive times.
If you (or someone you know) appears to have lost contact with
PERFORM, you may check your list options and reset to MAIL by
sending the respective commands in a mail message to
LISTSERV@IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU
Q PERFORM <==(short for Query PERFORM) You will receive a
list of your distribution options.
SET PERFORM MAIL <==Turns the mail delivery back on.
SET PERFORM NOMAIL <==Turns mail delivery off.
***
*** IF YOU KNOW YOU WILL NOT BE CHECKING YOUR MAIL FOR A WHILE,
*** PLEASE SET YOUR OPTIONS TO NOMAIL USING THE ABOVE COMMAND.
***
2) Avoid possible embarrassment by observing these LISTSERV
conventions:
- When you hit REPLY from a PERFORM letter, your response is
sent to the ENTIRE LIST and NOT only to the person who
originally posted the letter.
- Send instructions (SUB, UNSUB, SET MAIL, SET NOMAIL, etc) to
LISTSERV@IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU
- Send actual discussion and mail to PERFORM@IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU
3) You can get a list of PERFORMers and their e-mail addresses by
sending the following command to LISTSERV@IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU
REVIEW PERFORM
4) Help regarding LISTSERV commands and conventions is also available
by sending the command INFO to any LISTSERV location.
1) I remind you that PERFORM can be used as a means for the
distribution of other kinds of materials besides mail. If anyone
has papers not otherwise destined for publication, abstracts,
bibliographies, course syllabi, etc. please contact me directly.
In particular, I would like to invite all participants in the MRDS
conference sessions (at MLA or Kalamazoo) to submit copies of
their papers.
These materials can be maintained on the PERFORM FILESERVER. To
date, the FILESERVER includes monthly logs of all correspondence
on PERFORM (since December 1992) and a short conference paper
on feasts and funhouses in XVth-Century Burgundy (significant
only as a demonstration of the FILESERVER's capabilities--
sans doute!). For a list of these items, send a one-line
mail message to LISTSERV@IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU
GET PERFORM FILELIST
(Searcheable GOPHER access to these materials should be made
available sometime this Summer.)
As always, if you have questions or problems, do not hesitate to
contact me directly.

Subject: Thomas Binkley
I received a message yesterday that Thomas Binkley died last Friday
at his home in Bloomington, Indiana. David Lasocki at Indiana
University has been commissioned to write an assessment of Tom's life
and work as a performer and educator for the new eponymous Early
Music America quarterly magazine. He would "be most grateful to hear
from those of you who performed, worked, or studied with Tom and
would be willing to send me (or talk to me on the phone about) your
impressions of his career." He can be reached at LASOCKI@INDIANA.EDU.
He is very prompt about answering mail.

Subject: Parisian fairground theatre
A NEW HYPERTEXT - AND THREE NEW PLAYS
http://www.uqam.ca/theatrales/foires/index.htm
In 1678 two acrobats, Charles Allard and Maurice Vondrebeck, put
together an international company to present theatre at the Parisian
fairs of Saint-Germain and Saint-Laurent. It's an important moment in
the history of popular theatre: close to the origins of musical
comedy, English pantomime, vaudeville, boulevard theatre and the
modern circus.
Until now very little has been known of the two men, their families
or their work. The only text we had (in a version dated 1743) has
been largely ignored since the Italian scholar, Marcello Spaziani,
threw doubt on its authenticity.
Now, for the first time, we present on the Internet the original
text of the disputed play, along with two hitherto unknown
contemporary texts. These discoveries give us an opportunity to
consider what the two acrobats achieved in their 1678 season.
In chosing hypertext as the form of publication, we have aimed at
creating an open structure that is capable of continuous development,
and which will we hope will be accessible to all, whether as readers
or as future collaborators.
This is the first hypertext project undertaken by QUEATRE, of the
University of Quebec in Montreal. I offer my grateful thanks to Andre
G. Bourassea, founder of QUEATRE, and Pierre Cormier, of the
Telecommunications Service of UQAM, for their warm electronic
hospitality.

Subj: Cultural Studies Conference
Cultural Frictions:
Medieval Cultural Studies
in Post-Modern Contexts
A Local and World-Wide Interactive Conference at
Georgetown University
Washington, DC
*
October 27-28, 1995
Sponsored by:
* Georgetown University
(Medieval Studies Program and
Graduate Program in Communication, Culture, and Technology)
* George Washington University
(Program in Human Sciences)
* The Catholic University of America
* The University of Virginia
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Carolyn Dinshaw, UC-Berkeley
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
This conference will be devoted to the ways in which medieval
literary studies are being reconceived and redefined with the
models for social and cultural history developed in recent work
on cultural studies and post-modern theory.
Post-modern theory is also beginning to notice the impact of the
new networked hypermedia environment of the World Wide Web on
literary studies and the humanities, and the Web as a new context
for cultural studies will be both a topic for discussion as well
as the medium for transmitting this discussion worldwide during
the weekend of the conference.
THE WORLD-WIDE INTERACTIVE FORMAT:
ACTING LOCALLY, THINKING GLOBALLY
Papers presented at the conference will be published on the World
Wide Web through the Labyrinth about 5 days before the meeting at
Georgetown. Each paper will have a hyperlink to a comment form,
which will allow readers around the world to respond to the
papers and thus participate in the conference remotely. The
comment files will also allow comments, either by the authors of
the papers or by other virtual (or real) conference participants.
The last session of the conference will be devoted to reviewing
and discussing the accumulated global commentary on line, with a
live Internet connection and projection monitor. Conference
participants at Georgetown will also be given access to computer
labs with Net and Web software.
REGISTRATION AND LOCAL ACCOMODATIONS
The registration fee for the day-and-a-half conference will be
$25 for regular participants and $15 for students. Blocks of
hotel rooms will be reserved at the Georgetown University
Conference Center and at some local hotels for those wishing
overnight accomodations. For further information and registration
materials, send e-mail to:

Subject: ACTER residencies
ACTER(A Center for Theatre, Education, and Research), after 19 successful
years at UC-Santa Barbara under the direction of Prof. Homer Swander,
moved last summer to The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Prof. Alan Dessen is the Director, Cynthia Dessen the General Manager. We
schedule week long teaching and performing residencies on university and
college campuses by Actors from the London Stage, 5 actors with extensive
experience at the RSC, the National, and British stage and television.
Each residency consists of 3 performances of a full length Shakespearean
play, plus two one-handers(one person shows devised by the actors), and
teaching in up to 33 classes in a variety of disciplines. The actors'
prime purpose in teaching is to show that the Shak. text is not simply
words on a page, but a script to which the actor brings a fund of
knowledge and questions which the academic may not have been aware of.
The actor coming to your literature or theatre class will get the
students up out of
their seats and working on scenes. The actors often also come to classes
in other disciplines(history, speech, leadership, comparative lit,
etc);here, too, they do not lecture or simply read mellifluously but try
to relate the subject matter to their dramatic work and open up the
subject in new ways for the students.
The Spring 1996 play is Macbeth and we have a few openings left.
In 1996-97 we will offer Much Ado About Nothing in the fall and Romeo and
Juliet in the spring. If you want more information or are interested in a
booking, contact Cynthia Dessen off list at csdessen@email.unc.edu or
call 919-967-4265. ACTER has also worked with a combination of a
university or college and a community arts group or a high school. The
ACTER performances are minimalist in terms of props, costumes, etc., but
rich in language and imagination as 5 actors play all the 30-odd roles in
the play. Let us hear from you soon!
