Call for Submissions
Society for a Subliminal State Newsletter
Aka: Subliminal Statements
Due September 4, 2006

The ground speaks and has its way. It is beyond and below us yet
we take claim for what we do atop of it. Does it not have a mind of its
own - its own agency?

The Society for a Subliminal State is looking for true stories:
- Stories of land, sea, and air speaking.
- Time when presence, past and future combine.
- What is an alternative time of now.
- Do you know that islands move,
- Dead little animals create our homes,
- Lighthouses fall in love and transmit informative maps.
- History is a feeling not just a fact.

If you know anything about this please write us.

Send us your articles and poetry for the first issue of the Society for a
Subliminal State Newsletter.

About the Society

The Society for a Subliminal State is germinal organization started by
Carrie Dashow and Jesse Pearlman Karlsberg. The Society for a Subliminal
State agitates against the exclusive use of empirical evidence in the
search for truth. It is an organization that believes there many different
types of digging that may be productively undertaken. Still in its
infancy, the Society for a Subliminal State mirrors the form of a
traditional historical society, contributing to the public discourse
through a newsletter and a website. Governed by a growing board of
directors including artists, historians, and folklorists, the Society
accepts articles on topics avoided by publications that advocate fact
checking. The Society believes that if you see it three times then it too
may be the path to truth.
