I know it's a bit early, but I'm moving to a new inst. and will be off-line from
mid-July to Sept. So, is anyone out there interested in a panel for SCS 98 (in
San Diego?) that might involve the issues of:
1. TV sports as ritual
OR
2. the TV apparatus as mechanical shaman
My own work addresses these issues from a psycho-theatrical viewpoint. I
presented an essay (with such POV) at the 1996 SCS Conf. that has since been
published in SPECTATOR 16.2 as "The Real Edges of the Screen: Cinema's
Theatrical and Communal Ghosts." I also have an essay on Jeffrey Dahmer
appearing in the forthcoming anthology from Wayne State, MYTHOLOGIES OF
VIOLENCE, ed. Christopher Sharrett. My own book, EDGES OF LOSS: FROM MODERN
DRAMA TO POSTMODERN THEORY will be available next year from Univ. of Michigan
Press.
