process--the dynamics of action, exchange, mediation and
transformation--in relationships and communities. In what ways are
relationships either subverted or sustained by the idiosyncrasies of
communication? How and why are the fields of commerce, inquiry and
performance shaped primarily by their experiments and questions rather
than by their commodities and results? What may be discovered by studying
what is often forgotten or overlooked (process: inside-out & outside-in)
during this age of fascination with product? Submissions addressing
matters of process defined broadly and surprisingly are welcomed. In
