I'm not sure EXACTLY what this new discussion list is all about, but I thought it might interest some SCREEN-L subscribers. ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- XCULT-X on [log in to unmask] Intercultural Communication Practicum or [log in to unmask] The list XCULT-X has been created on [log in to unmask] Please send your subscription requests to LISTSERV@UMRVMB or [log in to unmask] In the text of the mail include: SUB XCULT-X yourfirstname yourlastname The following statement of purpose for the list was provided by the sponsor and list owner, Lance Hayes ([log in to unmask]). The purpose of Xcult-X, Intercultural Communication Practicum, is to foster interdisciplinary discussions of communication philosophy, theory, and practice in the global village through formation of a discussion group via human computer-mediated communication. Xcult-X is a rule-free discussion group open to all. It is sponsored by Lance Haynes who refuses to take any power other than that firmly imposed by the host computer center. Requests for listowner to exert any power whatsoever over the topics or discussion methods on this list will be met with referral to group discussion. The Intercultural Communication Practicum is a "child" of the International Intercultural Newsletter in that Xcult-X was begun in an effort to house discussion topics and methods that originated on Xcult-L but were not in keeping with its announced purposes.
