Interzone report of January 2011

Accueil July-August 2010 Contact

Hi all,

I have not sent (nor written) any report since last summer : I had to concentrate on urgent things and have been missing time. Also I needed a break to take some distance, as I had a feeling of routine since some times. I have been including in the latest reports a lot of info which were not specific to the Zone, and afterwards had the feeling it diluted it. As a result, I want to get back to the original Zone's spirit and concentrate on the job to do there.

So here is this new report, with many good musics integrated, to give us a lot of energy for the year to come.

Though I have kept on posting the info you sent in Interzone news : see the posts of September :

Best wishes for 2011:

I am joining them to wish all the best to Interzone members and a creative year for our projects and personal life.

Usurpations of identity:

In October, I have detected a number of anonymous pirate sites and blogs usurping my identity, reproducing the old sites hosted on geocities, which have disappeared since 2009, and my site on general semantics. The links in the pages are modified and lead to other pirate sites instead of the original pages, and they contain adverts which install trojans on the computers of the visitors. I shall not put the URL here to avoid to highlight them.

So I have been investigating on what is going on here and here is what I have found :

1. Those pirate sites are used by people who steal the contents of sites already existing to earn money with the adverts and copyright, specially on the blog system "over-blog.com", which hosts anonymous blogs with adverts and pays copyrights to their authors.

2. This phenomenon seems bound to the new web generation called web 2.0, which includes new interactive tools. This new technology has led to an internet marketing called marketing 2.0. Some days ago I received the newsletter of "Alternatives Economiques" which contains an interesting article about it : Marketing 2.0 : grande interactivité et petites arnaques by Marc Mousli (Marketing 2.0 : large interactivity and small swindles) about some of the tricks used to twist the rules. Among them the fake comments on blogs, agencies who employ people to spam forums with URL spreading, etc.

3. It comes out that the attacks against my sites specially aim the rubric on non-Aristotelian economy we started in Interzone in 1999 : the original pages on geocities containing the articles have disappeared, but they now are on line, in French and English, in the site of general semantics at http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/ecorestruct.htm in the rubric "A non-Aristotelian economy" at http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/econona.htm .

So I inferred from it that this research could be more important than a simple challenge at the scale of Interzone, and that it was worth keeping on racking our brain on it.

Interzone economy:

I called it a "non-Aristotelian economy" because I stated that formal economy rests on Aristotelian basis (see :

http://generalsemantics4all.wordpress.com/une-economie-non-aristotelicienne/) and used general semantics to formulate a new one, : see I New data on money: what are we talking about exactly?http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/gsmoney.htm and II Application of those data in the context of the Zone http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/gsmoney2.htm (See the Zone report of January 2000 when those pages were put on line for the first time).

For those who missed the beginning of the story, we tried to see if we could produce our respective arts by ourselves, out of the commercial circuit. And the result was positive (this was at the end of the nineties, the present internet technology did not exist: there was no social network then, no My Space, no CD burner on the computers, etc.) : see the reports of Interzone at

http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/ of 1999 and after. Then came the question to sell : we thought about making an official structure (associative / commercial), and after discussing, we concluded that their structure was not similar to the Zone and would lead to complications and problems, so we decided to remain as a society of fact, which did not require any formality. We started to think about making an economy adapted to our spirit, and this led to this research. We tried different formulas, some of which worked, some not. We came to the conclusion that, as a group, money was not involved, because everybody had his own equipment and managed with it. Though I kept on digging the subject and put since have put the result on line. I applied it in 2008 for Interzone Editions http://interzoneeditions.livres.officelive.com/ and on line courses of general semantics http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/coursenligne.htm, which I could not have put up without this work, and the result is satisfying.

Hence I suggest to keep on with the Zoners involved in it in the past: if you are interested in this research, you can get in touch through the blog below.

I have created a blog specially for this rubric at http://generalsemantics4all.wordpress.com/ to gather the existing doc and the doc to come :

Literature:

Interzone anthology:

I want to send the different tomes of the anthology "The Time of the Naguals" in pdf to Zoners who wrote in them. Only 3 tomes are on line.at http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNFR.pdf , http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNAroundB&G.pdf, http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TN2research.pdf

I do not know how long it will take to end the presentation and make them ready for publishing, so if you sent me texts for it and want the books as they are at the moment, just let me know and I'll send them to you.
