-------- Original Message -------- Subject: question Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 14:24:22 -0500 From: Colleen McEwen <colleen_mcewen@private> To: declan@private Hello, Does the Politech listserv accept publishers' postings? For example, I would like to post information on the following title, just published by Harvard University Press in October 2004: A Hacker Manifesto by McKenzie Wark "[Wark's] ambitious/ A Hacker Manifesto/ Googles for signs of hope in this cyber-global- corporate-brute world of ours, and he fixes on the hackers, macro-savvy visionaries from all fields who 'hack' the relationships and meanings the rest of us take for granted. If we hackers--of words, computers, sound, science, etc.--organize into a working, sociopolitical class, Wark argues, then the world can be ours." --Hua Hsu,/ Village Voice/ "Writers, artists, biotechnologists, and software programmers belong to the 'hacker class' and share a class interest in openness and freedom, while the 'vectoralist' and 'ruling classes' are driven to contain, control, dominate, and own. Wark crafts a new analysis of the tension between the underdeveloped and 'overdeveloped' worlds, their relationships to surplus and scarcity, and the drive toward human actualization." --Michael Jensen,/ Chronicle of Higher Education/ http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/WARHAC.html McKenzie Wark is Professor of Cultural and Media Studies at Lang College, New School University. He is the author of several books, most recently/ Dispositions/. October 2004 Cloth 208 pages ISBN 0-674-01543-6 Thank you in advance for any information you could provide. Sincerely, Colleen McEwen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Colleen McEwen Harvard University Press 79 Garden Street Cambridge, MA 02138 tel. 617.495.9897 fax 617.495.5898 http://www.hup.harvard.edu/pdf/brochures/brochures.html _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
