Hi all,
Those two latest months have been very active: see the posts in the blog
Interzone news
http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/ since the latest report
at
http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/2010/04/interzone-report-february-march-2010.html
As a result, this report, a special "beat generation", is so big I have to
make it in two pages.
New connections :
============
In April, thanks to Paul Hawkins , I have got in touch with Charles
Plymell and friends of him (see Georges Laughead's incredible page on them,
"Beats in Kansas: the Beat generation in the Heartland": at
http://www.vlib.us/beats/ for more info) . They have been bringing a ton of
energy , and forwarded info about their arts and creations, as well as the
doc they have been sending on the Beat and arts and literature more
generally: see in the blog Interzone News . In the French present context,
their input is a puff of oxygen.
So welcome to the Interzone, Charles and Pam Plymell, Mike Watt, Gerard
Malanga, A.D. Winans, Ginger Eades, Richard Krech, Phil Scalia and all !
Your friendship and interest for Interzone is the best recognition we could
get !
Bye Dennis Hopper and Peter Orlovsky

- The Time of the Naguals : first tomes on line in pdf:
I have converted in pdf and put on line the following books :
- "Le Temps des Naguals : Autour de Burroughs et Gysin": 134 pages
http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNFR.pdf : see the contents at
http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/tnbgfr-html
In the English anthology of Interzone, two tomes seem to be
ready now: Ordering and classing the huge amount of the texts in different
tomes is a hell of a work !
- "Around Burroughs and Gysin" Tome 1, 86 pages,
http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TN1AroundB&G.pdf contains the
original texts in English which were translated in the "Le Temps des
Naguals: Autour de Burroughs et Gysin", plus texts about them: see the
contents on line at :
http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/tnbgen1-html
- "Research": 162 pages,
www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TN2research.pdf
This tome gathers the researches conducted in different domains related to
those explored by Burroughs and Gysin, by Interzone members spread all over
the world, which they have continued them, with the tools of thinking we had
in 1997, when Interzone started, and when we started this anthology. See the
contents at :
http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/tnenresearch-html
This anthology is an experiment of non-Aristotelian functions of writing
described by Alfred Korzybski and applied and developed by Burroughs and
Gysin:
1. Symbolic function of language * (Korzybski): a word is a symbol, a sign
which stands for something. Language is a map of reality.
2 Function of time-binding *: writing binds the author and his readers
through space-time:
"Whenever you use this bow I will be there," the Zen archery master tells
his students. And he means there-quite literally. He lives in his students
and thus achieves a measure of immortality. And the immortality of a writer
is to be taken literally. whenever anyone reads his words the writer is
there. He lives in his readers." William S. Burroughs, "The Place of Dead
Roads"
" Just before he signs off for good , many a man has picked up the distant
voice of his doctor saying: " He is dead". Remember, these words are
meaningless. When you read this I am alive. I am here on this page. I am
here. I am HERE!" .
3. Magic function : "Writing is about making it happen" (Brion Gysin) : a
writer writes a scenario of reality which his readers can make happen, and
this way, create a reality which fits them: "In fact, writers are
potentially very powerful. The write the scenario of the film of reality.
Jack Kerouac opened a million coffee bars and sold a million Levis to both
sexes." (Burroughs, "The Adding Machine: Selected Essays" ).
4. Through the link between the author and the reader, writing creates a
collaboration between them, which produces, according to mathematic
non-additivity *, a phenomenon called by Burroughs and Gysin "the
Third-Mind" : with regard to human collaboration, 1 + 1 = 3 :
" Gysin: when you associate two minds...
Burroughs: There is always a third mind...
Gysin: A third higher mind...
Burroughs: Like an invisible collaborator. "
("The Third Mind".)
This application of general semantics to writing is not an attempt to create
a new literary trend. It is an experiment to use writing according to our
present level of evolution in sciences. In the domains of sciences and
techniques, we got to a high level of evolution, but in human domains, we
are still stuck to the previous steps of evolution of our civilisation :
Aristotle and Descartes, and think and act with obsolete patterns.

Dead Fingers Talk: The Tape Experiments of William S. Burroughs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dead Fingers Talk (May 28 - July 12) is an exhibition presenting two
unreleased tape experiments by William Burroughs from the mid 60s alongside
responses by 23 artists, musicians, writers, composers and curators.
Few writers have exerted as great an influence over such a diverse range of
art forms as William Burroughs. One typically overlooked manifestation of
his radical ideas about manipulation, technology and society is found in his
extensive experiments with tape recorders in the 1960s and '70s. Dead
Fingers Talk: The Tape Experiments of William S. Burroughs is the first
exhibition to demonstrate the diversity of resonance in the arts of
Burroughs' theories of sound.

The exhibition includes work by Alma/Joe Ambrose, Steve Aylett, Alex Baker &
Kit Poulson, Lawrence English, The Human Separation, Riccardo Iacono,
