Subject: G Bateson E-Update Sep 2004
September has arrived, and so it is time to send another update
on Gregory Bateson related activities.
As in the past, this e-mail is essentially limited to new information,
with full details on the Bateson page at
http://www.interculturalstudies.org
<http://www.interculturalstudies.org/> .
It does not repeat information already available on the website or
mentioned in previous e-mails.
If you know of any other activities, please let us know via e-mail
at mcb2004@attglobal.net with BATESON04 in the subject line.

HELP WANTED
We are looking for an intact copy of the 60-minute film, Interaction and
Communication in Three Families, made by Gregory Bateson with
Weldon Kees in the 1950s. The copies held by UCSC are missing the
sound track, including Bateson's commentary. If you know of anyone
who might have a copy with audio, in any film or video format, please
contact us immediately at mcb2004@attglobal.net. As it stands, the
record
of Bateson's work is incomplete, and we would like to be able to show
the film in November, so we seek your help urgently.
Equally serious but less pressing is the need for conservation work on
Bateson's raw
footage from Bali and New Guinea in the 1930s, now in the Library of
Congress,
and postwar footage located in various places in California.
Any financial help you can offer will be most appreciated. Please
consider
sending a donation (tax deductible in the U.S.) to the Institute for
Intercultural
Studies, 67A E. 77 St., New York, NY 10021.

PUBLICATIONS/ON-LINE RESOURCES
Hampton Press continues its reissuing of Gregory Bateson works.
Steps to an Ecology of Mind was reprinted in 2002.
Angels Fear and Our Own Metaphor should be reissued later this year.
Sacred Unity, edited by Rodney Donaldson, has been delayed.
Common Ground, a Bay area magazine, will feature a profile of Gregory
Bateson
in its November 2004 issue. Information at
http://www.commongroundmag.com <http://www.commongroundmag.com/>
The Italian magazine Teseo will publish a special issue on Gregory
Bateson
in late 2004. The issue will be written and edited by Luciano
Paccagnella,
professor at the University of Turin.
An Italian group, Associazione culturale il Narratore,
http://www.ilnarratore.com <http://www.ilnarratore.com/> ,
has honored Gregory Bateson's memory in his centennial with three pieces
by or about him
read aloud on their website, including "Metaphors and Butterflies,"
recorded live in
1975 in Big Sur, California and an excerpt (in Italian) from David
Lipset's biography
of Bateson. This group also intends to publish an audio recorded summary
of the
Circolo Bateson conference in Rome in May 2004.
We have been doing our best to make information available about the
various events
because we are not in a position to stage one ourselves. Many are either
invitational
or narrowly disciplinary, but we feel it is important to include as many
as possible to
allow those of us who've worked with Bateson's ideas to have an
opportunity to pursue
the inter-connections between the many fields of knowledge. I believe
that revisiting these
ideas in the context of today's problems may bring new and corrective
insights.
