The Revelation e-list homepage is available at
http://sunsite.auc.dk/Revelation/apclist.html.  Also appropriate for this
discussion would be     GRAPHAI, the SBL NT e-mail discussion list, and
IOUDAIOS, on Judaism(s) in the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

On the problem of describing and using genres, particularly that of
apocalypse, see Lars Hartman, "Survey of the Problem of Apocalyptic Genre,"
in Apocalypticism in the Mediterranean World, 329-344.  I haven't seen
references to it in any recent literature, but there is a small volume
edited by Collins on apocalyptic studies since the great Uppsala conference
(see Apocalypticism in the Mediterranean World and the Near East:
Proceedings of the International Colloquium on Apocalypticism, Uppsala,
August 12-17, 1979, ed. David Hellholm [T|bingen:  Mohr-Siebeck, 1983]) in
which Collins agrees to a revised form of the apocalypse definition in light
of such work as the essays in Semeia vol. 36, Early Christian
Apocalypticism, ed. A. Y. Collins (Atlanta:  Scholars, 1986), e.g., that of
Aune and Hellholm.
