Cyber Semiotic Institute
The Semiotic Review of Books launches an advanced studies program in semiotics
which will cover a wide range of topics. A multidisciplinary international faculty will
offer courses organized in cycles of eight months at the rate of one cyber lecture per
month. After the end of the cycles, the lectures and reading lists will remain accessible
at the virtual campus library. Direct interactions between students and instructors will
take place thru E-mail.
Twenty new courses will be put on-line during the first two years of the Institute
(including courses in languages other than English). All will be readily accessible in the
Institute's archives after they have been taught on-line. Descriptions of the courses and
reading lists will be posted in advance on the virtual campus of the Institute which is

electronic mail and to do so with as much textual probing as possible. This list is

implications in an electronically, more or less peripatetic, fashion in order to bring out
the richness of Peirce's thinking and style.

Philosophy and Literature
This interdisciplinary journal sponsors an E-list service for philosophers, literary
critics, scholars, and theorists. The E-list offers news, book announcements, calls for
papers, contents of journals, and conference plans. Subscribers post queries, trade inside
information and advice, preview drafts of articles and reviews, dispute, refute, and
defend one another. It serves as a single source of information and the exchange of ideas — an electronic newsletter run on democratic principles. The
journal and E-list alike owe allegiance to no particular school or style of criticism, and
is open to anyone who takes a serious interest in philosophical interpretations of
literature, literary investigations of classic works of philosophy, philosophy of
language, and literary theory.
To subscribe to the E-list send the following message to: ListServ@ Postal.TAMU.Edu SUBSCRIBE PHIL-LIT

nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing
one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets.
