=>
=> H-AfrLitCine is a free international electronic discussion group
=> sponsored by H-Net (Humanities-On-Line), H-AFRICA, and
=> officially sponsored by the African Literature Association.
=> H-AfrLitCine emphasizes both the study and teaching of African
=> literature and cinema. Completely non-commercial and
=> non-partisan, H-AfrLitCine encourages a wide-ranging exchange of
=> ideas and information on African literature and cinema.
=> H-AfrLitCine might also be compared to an ongoing, moderated
=> "roundtable" discussion with participants from any part of the
=> world.
=>
=> H-AfrLitCine invites contributions from individuals engaged in
=> the study of any region of the continent. We expect informed
=> discussions of teaching and research at all levels of interest
=> and complexity. Subscribers may submit questions, comments,
=> reports and replies. H-AfrLitCine publishes research reports
=> and inquiries (including dissertation and thesis abstracts),
=> syllabi and course materials, bibliographies, listings of new
=> sources, library and archive information, and non-commercial
=> announcements of books, software, cd-roms, and other
=> resources in the field. H-AfrLitCine also publishes
=> announcements of conferences, fellowships, jobs, and
=> commissioned reviews of books, films, and software. H-
=> AfrLitCine will establish databases relevant to African cinema,
=> containing information on African films and on distribution
=> sources. H-AfrLitCine will also hold discussions of literary
=> texts and of films.
=>
=> Currently, H-AfrLitCine is co-edited by Professors Kenneth W.
=> Harrow of Michigan State University, Sandra Barkan of the
=> University of Iowa, Robert Cancel of the University of
=> California at San Diego, Thomas A. Hale of Pennsylvania State
=> University, Emilie Ngo-Nguidjol of the University of
=> Wisconsin, Aliko Songolo of the University of Wisconsin,
=> Emmanuel Yewah of Albion College, and Eugene Baer of Wisconsin
=> Lutheran College. The network is also advised by an
=> editorial board of international scholars broadly representative
=> of the state of the discipline. H-AfrLitCine is officially
=> sponsored by the African Literature Association.
=> Like all academic journals and newsletters, and most H-Net
=> lists, H-AfrLitCine is moderated by the editors to filter out
=> inappropriate posts. All submissions must be approved by the
=> editors, who will not send out to the general membership
=> personal attacks (or "flames"), irrelevant material (such as
=> subscription requests, which will be handled privately),
=> commercial announcements, or items that do not further the
=> professional and scholarly dialogue.
=>
=> If you wish to join H-AfrLitCine, please send a message to:
=> listserv@h-net.msu.edu
=> (with no subject line) and only this text:
=> sub h-afrlitcine firstname lastname, institution
=> Capitalization does not matter, but spelling, spaces and commas
=> do. When you include your own information, the message will look
=> something like this:
=> sub h-afrlitcine Art Schwartz, Ball State U
=> After sending your subscription request, you will receive a short
=> questionnaire which must be completed and returned to confirm
=> your subscription. The information requested in this
=> questionnaire tells us about your professional interests and
=> activities and will serve as essential information for a
=> directory of H-AfrLitCine subscribers. When you return the
=> questionnaire the editors will add your name, and postings will
=> arrive automatically in your e-mail.
