A forum for the discussion of issues related to the idea that beliefs and identity are becoming increasingly unstable. Our emerging global culture is influenced by a shifting and constant movement that alters economic, spiritual, and geographic categories and hence our understanding of the world. NOMAD represents varying concepts of space and time that inform relationships between and across cultures, between gendered and culturally different individuals. It investigates what happens to an image, a story, a theory that moves from place to place. NOMAD challenges truth while recognizing that certain "essentialisms" can be made useful. NOMAD includes the effects of televisual and digital technologies on social and cultural meaning. It is about the ability to be in at least two places at once, to be in two or more moments of historical space and time, to be both in and out of one's body. It explores the homogenizing tendencies of global communications media in relation to local cultures. It concerns the influence of these technologies over even those who appear to be outside the circuits, over those who are otherwise perceived as marginal or who are willfully peripheral.

An unmoderated group to carry postings of encoded pictures featuring famous people, which do not fit into other pictures groups, i.e. people that are not supermodels or porn stars. Since this group is intended as a companion group to alt.binaries.pictures.misc and not abp.erotica, pictures in this group should be G rated, i.e. do not include nudity. Pictures of famous nude people still should go to alt.binaries.pictures.erotica*. If any nude pictures are posted, they should carry a note of that in the subject and the description. Crosspostings between this group and alt.binaries.pictures.misc are not incourged, since abp.misc is supposed to take anything that doesn't fit in other groups. Crosspostings between this group and abps are acceptable, if the subject fits into both groups. All discussion related to postings in alt.binaries.pictures.celebrities should go to alt.binaries.pictures.d. A .d group specifically for the group will not be created. To assure this, all posters should set the Followup-To field to alt.binaries.pictures.d. Discussions about the people portrayed in pictures posted in the group should best take place in the appropriate groups for each celebrity, e.g. alt.fan.*, alt.tv.*, rec.music.*, etc. Readers: 22000 (0.7%) {77%} Mesgs per month/day: 5299/177 {96%} Crossposting: 31% {75%} Megs per month/day: 79.3/2.643 {99%} Sites reciving this Group: 31% Cost ratio ($US/month/rdr): 1.00 alt.binaries.pictures.children Pictures of children.

This music is characterized by strong classical and jazz influences, lengthy pieces, and attention to compositional details (perhaps noticeable mainly to trained musicians) rather than catchiness or marketability. New artists that write compositionally complex music are also discussed. There are other definitions for "progressive" music. For one group of people, it is a synonym for today's "alternative" music. alt.music.progressive does NOT address this music; see alt.music.alternative instead. For a second group of people, it means any music that progresses beyond popular music in some significant way. alt.music.progressive sometimes addresses this type of music. The most common argument concerning "progressive rock" occurs when two people use different definitions of "progressive." One or both of them start screaming, "the music you like is NOT progressive." These arguments get nowhere and should be avoided. Note that alt.music.genesis and alt.music.yes exist for discussions particular to Genesis and Yes, respectively.

A group for the discussion of music based in any of the world's classical, popular, and folk traditions. Excluded from this group would be any musical traditions that already have their own newsgroups (e.g. rec.music.classical, rec.music.indian.classical, rec.music.afro-latin, rec.music.folk (which appears to be dedicated mostly to American folk music), etc.). However, music that might be unwelcome in any of the above-named groups because it does not adhere to traditional forms closely enough (e.g. baroque-Indian-Cuban-pop fusion music) would be welcome to be discussed in alt.music.world. Of course, discussion of highly traditional music would be just as welcome as discussion of non-traditional genre-crossing music. In short: If you would find it in the "World Music" or "International" section of a record store and it doesn't have its own newsgroup, then alt.music.world would be the place to discuss it.
