Jonathan,
I just remembered that Stewart Hall wrote a book titled The Assault on
Culture which includes two chapters about Lettrism -not Lettrist cinema, but
Lettrism in general. This book is entirely on the internet.

>> Over a year ago, there was a thread on Frameworks called "Conceptual

>> Along similar lines, can anyone recommend good readings on related work
