"1-Up"
by way of Alice Gambrell: Ass Prof, English; Director, Center for Feminist Research -
On Thursday October 2 at noon, the Center for Feminist Research is delighted and proud to be sponsoring a public lecture by Raina Lee. Lee is the editor of the independent magazine "1-Up," which for the last eighteen months has gained an unusual amount of attention for its innovative writing on the subject of the politics of computer gaming.
"1-Up" has featured articles like "Jill Played Atari"; "Arcadeploitation Films of the 80s"; "How Tetris Saved My Mind"; and "Arcade Profile: The Reagan Years." The magazine has also featured artwork by noted comics artists Jordan Crane, John Pham, and Martin Cendreda.
Lee will be returning spring semester to conduct a zine-making workshop, so this week's visit will be a great opportunity to get acquainted with her and to hear about her own experiences in independent publishing.
Please join us. We will be serving lunch, and would appreciate an rsvp.(213-740-1739 or cfr@usc.edu)
