A Journal of Second Order Cybernetics, Autopoiesis, & Cyber-Semiotics
Edited by Søren Brier, the idea is apparently to focus in a meta-disciplinary way on the articulation of an overall perspective shift appropriate to the structures of understanding being created by the new information and communication technologies: "A basic feature of this work is the attempt to integrate scientific thinking with ethical and aesthetic perspectives in both theory and practice, in an attempt to bridge what C.P. Snow called 'The Two Cultures'." The site &mdash unusually pleasing aesthetically &mdash contains some informative reviews of the journal, the tables of contents of all issues to date, subscription information, and quite a substantial number of fulltext on-line papers as well as abstracts, and may be aiming at making all of its past papers available on-line in due time.
[NOTE from B.U.: Here is a link to the Wayback Machine's copy of the journal website in 1998 when Joseph Ransdell wrote the above. Unfortunately the images were not preserved. Historical note: the journal's subtitle at that time was "A Journal of Second Order Cybernetics & Cyber-Semiotics"; later added was the word "Autopoiesis".]
