The PreText Conversations held a Re/In/View<
with Greg Ulmer about his Heuretics: The Logic of Invention
during September, October, and November of 1994.
Preparation for the Re/In/View began on the list in July and continued during August.
Because PTc intends to maintain a human face in cyberspace we archive our own files by topic and distribute them by request.
The Ulmer Re/In/View is maintained in five large files:
July 37 blocks August 221 blocks September 218 blocks October 99 blocks November 53 blocksA block can roughly equal about 25 screens at 20 lines per screen.
Because the files are large we usually forward one file each day in sequence after receiving a request.
The Ulmer Re/In/View files are maintained at PreText@MaimiU by Jim McFadden

#### REINVW ANNOUNCEMENT ####
--------Second
Notice------
Greg Ulmer has agreed to do a RE/INTER/VIEW with us.
The best time for him is late August, which will give us time
to carefully read ...
_Heuretics: The Logic of Invention_. Baltimore: The
Johns Hopkins UP, 1994. (in pb. it is $13.95.)
In preparing for the re/inter/view, you might want also
to read Ulmer's _Applied Grammatology_ (1985) and
his _Teletheory_ (1989).
He has suggested that we also read his article "Metaphoric
Rocks," for it suggests his "attempts to apply ... performance
strategies to research."
Along the lines of autobiography, which we have been dis-
cussing on PTISSUES, Greg has suggested that we might be
interested in an interview of his: "The Making of 'Derrida
at the Little Big Horn.' " _Strategies_ vol. 2 (1989): 9-23.
We do not have this journal at UTA or at MU, so I will order
it through interlibrary loan, try to find someone who can
scan it, and distribute it on REINVW.
Thanks.

I previously sent this article as a file on this sublist. You can
either retrieve the article from the archives or send me a note
and I will send the file of the article to you.

We do not subscribe to this journal at UTA. Being gone,
I have not had a chance to order this one through interlibrary loan.
I suggest that you try to get it through your own library.
****
I would like to take the opportunity to thank Lester for being
the first author on REINVW, in particular, being our guinea
pig, so that we might figure out what would be a good way to
conduct re/inter/views. When we begin our next with Greg,
we will engage in a more direct Q/A, so that the author can
respond immediately, if he or she so wishes.
I think that it is a good idea that some of you have begun
discussing Greg's work on RHETCHAT. Thanks for getting
things rolling.
As we continue to discover how to conduct re/inter/views in
this medium, we will continue to revise our approaches. Some
time after September 1st, we will begin discussion our options
on the PTC (administrative) sublist. If you would like to join in
on the discussion, please do so. (If not already, be sure to
subscribe to PTC.)
One last note: Here at UTA, we are starting another reading
group, one that can focus on each of the books and authors
that we will be working with. In this way, we will be able to generate
some questions and concerns locally, and then communicate
them out over the net. Perhaps others of you, if possible, might
want to form similar reading groups that would be concerned
with books and authors here on REINVW. Or if you have other
suggestions about how to do all this, we would be most grateful
for your suggestions. Thanks.
