Just a quick (OK, not TOO quick), word on the January issue. The focus will be on contemporary performance theory and the deadline for submission is January 15. The issue will appear on January 22 because, like many of you, we will be away from our computers during the holidays. BIG CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT! With the theory emphasis in the next issue we've decided to run a little contest. We're looking for the most dense academic writing imaginable - the kind where the language is so dense that the structure of the arguments collapses, creating a black hole in the fabric of logical thought out of which no meaning can escape. There will be seperate categories for created and discovered entries, with recognition going to the best entries in each category. Entries in the discovered (i.e. published) category should be sent in MLA citation format so that the original author can be credited. Below are examples created by the T.P.I. editors - EXAMPLES Her/his pronounced proclivity to articulate her/his ouvre through marginally liminal performative modalities obfuscates the gestus of her/his praxis. Retrogressive otherness paradigms illustrate the pervasiveness of patriarchal historical contexts in the epistemologically-challenged discourses. DO NOT SEND YOUR ENTRIES TO THE TPI LISTSERV!
