The purpose of this conference is to fully explore the state of
underground culture circa 1997, in this age of an omnivorous
mainstream/dominant culture.What is the underground? Where is it?
What are it's characteristics? How/why is the underground being
co-opted? Is there continued hope for a popularly-derived, non-
vertical/hierarchical underground culture? These are some of the
questions that this conference will address in all realms pertaining
to culture as we know it: in film, popular music, theatre, the visual
arts, performance arts, literature, comics, video, etc...
