Tout-Fait: Marcel Duchamp Studies Online journal
In November 1999, CyberBOOK Press, the publishing arm of Art Science Research Laboratory, a 501(3)(c) not-for-profit organization, announced the arrival of Tout-Fait: The Marcel Duchamp Studies Online Journal, the first academic journal in electronic format devoted to Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and his peers. The term "tout fait," the standard French translation for "ready-made", was a phrase used by the French mathematician Henri Poincaré (1854-1912), whose influence on Duchamp was crucial. Thus, Tout-Fait not only represents the intersection between art and science, but serves as a site promoting the interdisciplinary study across diverse fields of scholarship.
Tout-Fait brings together international scholars and writers from art and science backgrounds and many other fields of study. An interdisciplinary project, Tout-Fait is committed to presenting a variety of news features, articles, interviews, and short notes relating to Duchamp, one of modern art's most important figures, and his circle of contemporaries. Without the restrictions of the print media, Tout-Fait presents an expanded field for art and science writers, permitting a fluidity of thought as well as form, while generating a dialogue among established thinkers, young scholars and the interested public.
Tout-Fait's appearance has received worldwide attention in the fields of art history and humanities, with a four-year visitor count of 200,000, and growing. Tout-Fait has become an intellectual asset with historical value for the study of modern art and culture. Its Internet presence also has proven indispensable, with its free accessibility and scholarly excellence. Beginning in 2005, Tout-Fait has transformed into a perpetual publication; the site will be updated constantly, with each new peer-reviewed and accepted submission, as well as with newly equipped features, such as extensive Search, posted Comments, daily News Headlines, and a virtual Auditorium.
A strictly not-for-profit journal, Tout-Fait is made possible by a team effort of writers, editors, programmers and web designers. The continuation of Tout-Fait relies upon the commitment of our readers and the kind support of contributors. We welcome financial donations as well as submissions of scholarly research and creative projects. To make a donation, please visit Help Tout-Fait; Help Scholarship . For submissions, please see the Call for Papers/Submissions page for guidelines.

Hyphen | Asian America Unabridged
What is Hyphen?
Hyphen is a news and culture magazine that illuminates Asian America through hard-hitting investigative features on the cultural and political trends shaping the fastest growing ethnic population in America. We offer in-depth profiles of change-makers in our community and a glimpse into the world of artists and writers who are re-envisioning and rewriting what it means to be Asian American. Through balanced and incisive reporting and sometimes irreverent commentary, we hold a mirror to the enormous richness, contradiction, and vitality that define the Asian American experience to stimulate debate, raise awareness, and build bridges within and beyond our community.
Hyphen | Asian America Unabridged
Submission Guidelines
We're looking for writers who can depart from the predictable daily-news structure and tell a story well, with keen observations and strict accuracy. We welcome investigative reporting as well as literary journalism, thoughtful pieces as well as tongue-in-cheek ones.
We've got a bit of a split personality, so we want both fun and serious writing. As long as it's well written and solidly reported, we're very open. Bonus points if the story takes place in the South or Midwest. Asian America doesn't exist only on the coasts, you know.
We are interested in issues that affect Asian Americans, but, please, no Asian American Studies 101. We are also interested in tangentially Asian American stories, in quirky stories, and in stories about emerging artists rather than established ones. Do not send ideas about people and events in Asia. We cover Asian America, not Asia.
Absolutely no reprints, though substantially revised or expanded stories will be considered. And please, don't send us anything that uses the phrase "East meets West."
WRITERS
Send your query letter, three clips and a resume to editorial(at)hyphenmagazine.com. Or snail mail to:
Hyphen
Editorial
P. O. Box 192002
San Francisco, CA 94119-2002
We read each and every query, but we may not be able to respond right away. Please be patient with us.
Payment: Unfortunately, we will not be able to pay contributors at this time. This nonprofit magazine is a labor of love for all of us. Please accept copies of Hyphen and our gratitude.
HYPHEN DEPARTMENTS
Features: We want substantive, solidly-reported stories. These can be investigative pieces, or cultural explorations on Asian American issues, or issues that may not be specific to Asian Americans, but affect Asian Americans significantly. We'll also consider in-depth profiles and think-pieces. Politics. Business. Culture. Ethnography. No first-person. 1,500 to 3,000 words.
Redux: See something in the media that pissed you off? An ad, magazine cover or TV show that made use of stereotypes? Sound off here on all those "American Beats Kwan" moments. Or, were you surprised by a positive portrayal? We're looking for careful analysis, not rants. 300 to 650 words.
Policy Watch: Keeping an eye on the politics and policies that shape our everyday lives. 400 to 650 words.
Matter: News items about social justice issues, politics, arts, and pop culture. Can be quirky or serious. Also, pieces that explore trends. No first-person. 200 to 750 words.
Atypical: Brief profiles. Yes, there are Asian Americans who don't care about science and math! Interviews with artists, musicians, athletes, writers, actors, filmmakers, politicians and other people who don't have "Dr." in their names. 400 to 550 words.
Take Out: Cool stuff you want to take home. Zines, gadgets, boy bands, art projects and other stuff that rocks your world. 150 words.
Gifted: Art features and reviews. We're more interested in identifying trends and themes in books, zines, music, films, and performing arts rather than just giving a thumbs up or thumbs down. 400 to 750 words.
Sports: Searching for the next Yao Ming. Or at least the next story about our athletes, icons, personalities, trends and issues in the game. Please pitch sports that will be in season when we hit the stands. Bios, Q&As, charts, stories, news. 250 or 450-650 words.
Inner View: A personal essay. 1000 words.
Recipe: A step-by-step how-to on skills every Asian American should know. With photos or illustrations. Funny or tongue-in-cheek.
Dialects: The best in fiction, poetry and other creative writing. Contact claire(at)hyphenmagazine.com for guidelines.
PHOTOGRAPHERS AND ILLUSTRATORS
Hyphen seeks talented photographers, illustrators and digital artists to fill our pages with daring, eye-popping artwork to accompany our articles. Ideas for photo essays are welcome. Send us links to online portfolios and websites so we can view your work. Contact: design(at)hyphenmagazine.com

Remain Human: The Slatter’s Court Project
Remain Human: The Slatter’s Court Project
at
Richard L. Nelson Gallery at the University California, Davis
Slatter’s Court started life as a motel serving the old Lincoln Highway. The auto camp closed and a community emerged even though (make that because) this remained a place of transition.
Slatter’s probably qualifies as a “heterotopia”—a counter-arrangement within the “normal” organization of a studiously normal town. Slatter’s accommodates people who don’t match the norms of college-town living; Slatter’s residents are pretty typical Californians.
Slatter’s Court casts a little shade in California’s sunny expanse of property development. Californians bypassed by the Equity Rush have to live somewhere, and some are comfortable with this. As the Slatter’s Court documentary project asks what criteria are employed when somewhere is officially designated “blight,” it gently levers the lid on the conservatism of a liberal town (liberal ordinariness is an exclusive commodity in California). Compassion shouldn’t come into a discussion of Slatter’s fate: cut Slatter’s, and the City of Davis cuts itself.
All representations are artificial, but I think the Slatter’s project does the most honest job possible. It avoids the “heroism” that besets many artistic adventures into urban activism. The organizers collected the pictures, thoughts and biographies of other residents as though they were postcards to send to the rest of town. Then they edged them into the public realm by opening a show (no guest list, lots of Slatter’s people) at a disused Slatter’s bike shop, co-opted for the occasion as a gallery.
To a great extent places exist through their representation. Looking at this show, even the residents of Slatter’s Court might have been startled to witness Slatter’s existence. This documentation affirms that Slatter’s Court is a close neighbor, physically and figuratively, to the center of town.

Career Waitresses - Rethinking Work and Identity
CAREER WAITRESSES: RETHINKING WORK & IDENTITY is a multimedia project that profiles some of the healthiest, most independent and vibrant women in the U.S. Most of these waitresses are 50-83 years old and have worked in the same restaurant for up to 55 years. Despite the social stigma attached to 'just being a waitress,' this project honors the hardworking women who have raced to our tables, quarreled with the cooks and brought meaning to the American Roadside dining experience.
