> Flusser Studies is an international e-journal for academic research 
> dedicated to the thought of Vilém Flusser (1920-1991). In addition to 
> publishing articles about Flusser’s work, the journal seeks to promote 
> scholarship on different aspects of specifically interdisciplinary and 
> multilingual approaches Flusser himself developed in the course of his 
> career as a writer and philosopher. These approaches range from 
> Communication Theory to Translation Studies, Cultural Anthropology to 
> the New Media.
>
> Flusser wrote his texts in different languages, translating himself 
> over and over again, moving from English, to Portuguese, German, 
> French and back again. Similarly he worked by juxtaposing and 
> contaminating different discourses: philosophy, anthropology, 
> communication theory, art and design, zoology to mention only a few.
>
> Among his most original contributions in this context are his 
> philosophical fictions - above all Vampyroteuthis Infernalis - 
> scientific fables on the borderline of literature, science and 
> philosophy.
>
> Flusser Studies is published twice a year. Each edition will be 
> dedicated to a specific area of research. Publication languages 
> include English, German, French, Brazilian and Czech. Some editions 
> will be dedicated to a specific area of research.
>
> The first edition is planned for fall 2005.
