announcing a new journal
 
                     F I L M   A N D   P H I L O S O P H Y
 
published annually by the SPSCVA,
the Society for the Philosophic Study of the Contemporary Visual Arts.
 
     We invite you to become a member of the SPSCVA and receive Volume I of
FILM AND PHILOSOPHY (table of contents at the end of this message) plus a
year's worth of newsletters, all for $10.  If you also subscribe in advance to
Volume II ($20 total) we will send you all the back issues of our newsletter.
 
     To join, send your name and the address where you would like to receive
our publications to the Society's treasurer:

conversion costs for some, or just make it easier to respond since you can
join by sending me an E-mail message at

     We also invite you to submit your work to either of our publications.
FILM AND PHILOSOPHY will consider any work which significantly uses film and
which makes an interesting philosophical point; even a quick dip into Volume I
will show that we interpret the word "philosophical" in a very inclusive
sense.  The journal is blind refereed.  Several copies of your paper would
save us xeroxing.  While work may be sent to any editor, unless you know one
personally, you might as well send it to me.

Department of Philosophy

     All our book reviews go into the newsletter.  If you are interested in
writing one, may I suggest that you send me a short note "reserving" the book
for yourself.  Length: up to 500 words.  Each newsletter also prints several,
sometimes quite a few, film reviews and mini-essays on film-related topics.
Length: up to 1500 words.  The newsletter, like the journal, actively seeks
diverse points of view.  Please send your submissions for the newsletter to me
at the address above.
