From Puppet to Cyborg: Posthuman and Postmodern Retellings of the Pinocchio Myth
FROM PUPPET TO CYBORG: POSTHUMAN AND POSTMODERN RETELLINGS OF THE PINOCCHIO MYTH By Georgia Panteli Thesis submitted to University College London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy CENTRE FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY & INTERCULTURAL INQUIRY (CMII), SCHOOL OF EUROPEAN LANGUAGES, CULTURE & SOCIETY (SELCS) UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1 Declaration of Authorship I, [Georgia Panteli] confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The myth of Pinocchio is the story of a puppet that desires to become human and achieves it with the power of his will. Created by Carlo Collodi in The Adventures of Pinocchio, the myth of Pinocchio is linked to the fairy tale tradition and is the most recent manifestation of the animate/inanimate archetype. This thesis is the first systematic study of the Pinocchio myth and examines how it has been used and reinterpreted in different retellings across different media and disciplines. The first part of this study focuses on Pinocchio retellings in film and shows that the most contemporary example of the Pinocchio myth is in the story of the sentient cyborg/robot that desires humanity. Moving from the classic in the field of cyborg studies Blade Runner through Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which directly links the robot to Pinocchio, to the least technophobic and most transhumanist Battlestar Galactica, Chapter 1 demonstrates how all case studies are connected to Collodi’s novel through the confrontation scene, a specific passage in the text which touches upon the core of the Pinocchio myth, as Pinocchio is confronted both by the Blue Fairy and his corporeality. -
Lee Hoffman Presents
Lee Hoffman presents... small talk 24 June 62 WORKING CAN BE KICKS: The money is one of the nicest parts. Nine-to-fiving can disturb one’s social life and completely disrupt one’s habit patterns, but the little luxuries money will buy sort of make up for it. During the past three weeks I’ve been sitting in for the vacationing proofreader at the office. (I can hear your cries of amazement and hasten to assure you that my employers have never seen my fanzines-- they labor under the delusion that I am literate). Proofreading only occupied a small part of my time while I was at the desk. So during the rest of the day for which they were paying me money, the guys in production would give me sheets of paper with pictures printed on them, I would cut out the pictures and uhen they would give me crayons and let me color them in. I GOT A POCTSARCD FROII GARY DEINDORFER: . It said, among other things, "...I’ll be in NYC beginning Sunday, 17 June...when I hit town early Sunday morning I’ll call to see if you re in..." Well, we had a job going on Sunday morning and in my vital capacity as'proofreader I had been asked if I’d drop by the plant and read a sheet on it before the mighty presses began to grind out thousands of copies in five glorious colors. I had agreed. This was bei.ore I go the poctsarcd, and now I was a little concerned that I d miss con nections with Gary. -

FANZINE INDEX Whole Number One ________________a - Conto__________________ December 1952 This is the first of an anticipated series of issues of this index, which is intended to present data on fanzines of all times for any purpose the fanzine-inclined fan may find useful0 As information currently exists, this is not a complete indexo (A glance at page 2 will show that even such an important fanzine as ”Ah! Sweet Idiocy’” has been omittedo) Any fan with a general collection of three or more feet of fanzines could probably supply some information that is lacking hereo The more fans that do supply this information, the more complete subsequent swings around the alphabet will be0 Regardless of the gaps, however, this is by far the most complete index of fanzines ever pub lished, and we only hope that it will be of some interest and possibly even of benefit to the fan editor, collector, or historiano The basic information for this indez comes from Ro Do Swisher, who, between approximately 193$ and 19^6, did the terrific task of compiling information on fanzines from the beginnings to mid-19^6o Information subsequent to this has been added by Bill Evans and Bob Pavlat, with invaluable assistance from various fans far top numerous to mention,, However, Bob Silverberg did provide assistance above and beyond the call of duty, wading thru this fanzine collection at our request for information; and Walter Ao Coslet’s index of fanzines distributed thru the aegis of the Spectator Amateur Press Society has also been of great assistance0 In years -
Black Panther Transmedia: the Revolution Will Not Be Streamed Niels Niessen
Black Panther Transmedia: The Revolution Will Not Be Streamed Niels Niessen JCMS: Journal of Cinema and Media Studies, Volume 60, Issue 5, 2021, pp. 121-149 (Article) Published by Michigan Publishing DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/cj.2021.0022 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/788644 [ Access provided at 30 Sep 2021 00:43 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] Niels Niessen Black Panther Transmedia: The Revolution Will Not Be Streamed ABSTRACT The 2018 film Black Panther (Ryan Coogler) is a spectacular display of Black- ness on all levels of its production. But the film also tells the fairy tale of an extractive utopia in which technology is second nature, while the exploitation of bodies and ecosystems inherent to its high- tech mining economy remains unseen, much like in an Apple commercial. Only in light of the wider Black Panther transmedia universe (the comics authored by Ta- Nehisi Coates, Ken- drick Lamar’s soundtrack) does the film’s superhero texture yield to its full Afrofuturist potential: a speculative view of what Achille Mbembe calls the Becoming Black of the world. Once, the [American] Dream’s parameters were caged by technology and by the limits of horsepower and wind. But the Dreamers have improved themselves, and the damming of seas for voltage, the extraction of coal, the transmuting of oil into food, have enabled an expansion in plunder with no known precedent. And this revolution has freed the Dreamers to plunder not just the bodies of humans but the body of the Earth itself. The Earth is not our creation. -
1954 Retro Hugo Nominating and Voting Statistics
1954 Retro Hugo Nominating and Voting Statistics Noreascon Four – The 62nd Worldcon Boston, Massachusetts USA The nominees that follow were chosen by popular vote by 131 members of Noreascon 4 and Torcon 3 who submitted valid nomination forms for work done in 1953. A total of 131 nomination forms (35 paper and 96 on-line forms) were received. As required by the WSFS Constitution, we report the top 15 vote-getters in each category. (In no category did anyone else get as many as 5% of the nominations cast in that category.) Except for a few items which are marked as ineligible, no attempt was made to validate the name title or eligibility of any item which would not affect the final nomination listing. When a nominee received nominations in more than one category, we combined nominations to the correct category where appropriate. To determine the viability of categories, potential nominees with four or fewer nominations were dropped from consideration; where this dropped a given category below three nominees, the category was dropped as non-viable.
