Industrial RelevanceMy other research on the works, collaborative and individual, of the French theorists Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari includes serving as guest editor for two special issues of "SubStance" on their works (44/45 [1984] and 66 [1991). Further information on work on Deleuze and Guattari is available at http://www.langlab.wayne.edu/CStivale/D-G/index.html. Besides the aforementioned book on representations of the Cajun dance/music arena, I have studied Cajun dance for a number of years and have made numerous presentations and dance demonstrations on these cultural practices. See links at http://www.langlab.wayne.edu/CStivale/Cajun/index.html. I have written several essays on text-based "virtual reality," have served as guest editor of an issue of the journal "Works and Days" (25/26 [1995]), and have made various presentations, including one at the Digital Arts and Culture conference (http://cmc.uib.no/dac/) in Bergen, Norway (August 2-4, 2000), is available at: http://www.langlab.wayne.edu/CStivale/StivalePapers/WorkPlay.html. I have spoken on a number of academic professional panels (see links at http://www.langlab.wayne.edu/CStivale/index.html). Some of these talks have resulted in publications, notably in "Profession 1999" "ADFL Bulletin" 32.2(2001), "Profession 2003" (see Publications below).
