               Stein-L: an electronic discussion list
                        and virtual salon
                   on the art of Gertrude Stein
 
Stein-L is an academically inspired virtual salon for the discussion of
all aspects regarding Gertrude Stein's life and work and the issues
pertinent to it, such as Modernism/ Postmodernism, Women Writers,
Expatriate Literature, Visual Arts, Sexuality and Gender, Politics, and
many more.  Targeted towards scholars, teachers, students, and
Stein-aficionados, Stein-L also functions as a medium for announcements
and bulletins, notes and queries, syllabi, lesson plans, conferences,
publications, and scholarly papers.  The purpose of Stein-L is to identify
and establish a virtual community dedicated to the study, critical
discussion, and dissemination of Stein's work.
 
The list is subscription-based and unmoderated, but the listowner
([log in to unmask]) participates frequently and actively.
 
STEIN-L is part of he Gertrude Stein Online Project, which hopes to:
 
       * Make room for new perspectives on Gertrude Stein.
 
       * Make accessible new materials on the life and work of Gertrude
       Stein.
 
       * Make permeable the boundaries between academic and popular
       cultural perspectives on Stein.
 
       * Make a contribution to the worldwide appreciation of Gertrude
       Stein and to foster the study and performance of her work.
