I’ve just noticed an interesting and relatively new website: Figure/Ground. Originally a personal academic blog, it has now evolved into a student-led collaborative project. The site aims to bring ‘philosophers, historians and critics of media, literature and technology into a conversation’ and to be ‘a virtual salon or coffee house, creating a democratic space for a multitude of disciplines to discuss the university environment in the spirit of interdisciplinary studies and methodological pragmatism.’ In addition to a forthcoming e-journal, there are some interesting and often revealing interviews, which thus far include Eric McLuhan, Noam Chomsky, John Searle, Alphonso Lingis, Douglas Kellner and Simon Critchley.
