    PHOENIX RENEWED: THE SURVIVAL AND MUTATION OF UTOi’IAN THOUGHT IN NORTH AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION, 1965—1982 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR TEE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY HODA MOUKHTAR ZAKI DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ATLANTA, GEORGIA DECEMBER 1984 ABS TRACT POLITICAL SCIENCE ZAKI, H01P4 MOURHIAR B.A. , American University in Cairo, 1971 N.A., Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia, 1974 Phoenix Renewed: The Survival and_Mutation_of Utopian Thought in ~urth American Science Fiction, 1965—1982 Adviser: Dr. Alex Hillingham The&is d~tei Decenber, 1984 This dissertation is concerned with the status of utoni en in rwdcra timas. As such it is concerned with a historic problem ir pci tial :hearv, i.e., how to visualize a perfect human community. Since the turn of the 20th century, we have seen a decline in utopian ~i tera.ture. A variety of commentators, including Mannhein: and Mumford, noted and decried this trend. It seemed ironic to those observers that utopia~s demise would occur when humanity was closest to realizing material abundance for all. My research evaluates this irony. The primary data of my work are drawn from the genre of science fiction. The new locus for utopian thought seems natural enough. Science fiction is a speculative activity and, in its emphasis on science and technology, concerns itself with an area of human activity that has been intimately connected with the idea of progress since the European Enlightenment. A number of scholars including Mumford, Sargent, Suvin, and Williams, have asserted that contemporary utopian thought could be found in science fiction.

  • JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
    JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.

  • My Back Pages #5 Rich Lynch
    My Back Pages #5 Rich Lynch My Back Pages #5 a few more of my articles and essays Well, the Dog Days of August have arrived again. The midsummer heat and high humidity here in the D.C. area once again have made the outdoors an unpleasant experience. A few weeks of this weather is almost enough to make me look forward to winter snows again. But not quite. Anyway, the coming of August means that the annual World Science Fiction Convention is not far in the future. It’s invariably a fascinating event and is always something to be looked forward to. My wife Nicki and I have been to twenty-six Worldcons, in cities as close to home as Baltimore and as far away as Glasgow and Melbourne. This year’s Worldcon is in a place that neither it nor we have been before – Reno. Nowadays Reno is a gamblers’ paradise, but back in the late 1850s the area just south of Reno was the site of a gold and silver rush of immense and historic proportions. So we’re looking forward to not only the convention, but also to seeing some of the history surrounding that part of the “Wild West”. The previous time a Worldcon came anywhere close to this section of the United States was back in August 2008 when, as you will read, Denvention was only one of many conventions (and not nearly the largest) that visited Denver that month.

  • 9 Fantastical Worlds and Futures at the World's
    FANTASTICAL WORLDS AND FUTURES AT THE WORLD'S EDGE: A HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY by Simon Litten and Sean McMullen CHAPTER 2: SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY REBORN With the late 1950s and 1960s came satellites passing overhead among the stars, the threat of nuclear annihilation, the growing presence of computers in science, commerce and industry, and space travel for humans. Overall the public was more aware of technology than ever before. Television reached New Zealand in 1960, and on television were such series as Men in Space, Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and Out of the Unknown. In the cinemas, the films Doctor Strangelove and On the Beach made the public aware that destroying the world to save it from communism might not be a terribly sensible idea. Science and science fiction were suddenly highly visible and very fashionable, even in remote New Zealand. After over half a century of absence, science fiction novels by New Zealanders began to again be published in book form, now marketed as science fiction, making them a lot easier to track down. The first of these was Adrienne Geddes's novel of alien invasion, The Rim of Eternity (Collins Brothers and Co, 1964) published in Auckland. Geddes may well be New Zealand's first female science fiction author, but little is known about her, and this appears to be her only work. Michael Joseph was the author of The Hole in the Zero (Avon Books, 1967) and The Time of Achamoth (William Collins, 1977). The author was born in Britain but completed his schooling in New Zealand, and went on to become a professor of English.

  • Horny Toads and Ugly Chickens: a Bibliography on Texas in Speculative Fiction
    HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page Dellwood Press Bryan, Texas June 2010 1 HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page In this bibliography I have compiled a list of science fiction, fantasy and horror novels that are set in Texas. I have mentioned several short stories and a few poems and plays in this bibliography, but I did not make any sustained attempt to identify such works. I have not listed works of music, though many songs exist which deal with these subjects. Most entries are briefly annotated, though I well understand that it is impossible to accurately describe a book in only one or two sentences. As one reads science fiction and fantasy novels set in Texas, certain themes repeat themselves. There are, of course, numerous works about ghosts, vampires, and werewolves. Authors often write about invasions of the state, not only by creatures from outer space, but also by foreigners, including the Russians, the Germans, the Mexicans, the Japanese and even the Israelis. One encounters familiar plot devices, such as time travel, in other books. Stories often depict a Texas devastated by some apocalypse – sometimes it is global warming, sometimes World War III has been fought, and usually lost, by the United States, and, in one case, the disaster consisted of a series of massive earthquakes which created ecological havoc and destroyed most of the region's infrastructure. The mystique of the old west has long been an alluring subject for authors; even Jules Verne and Bram Stoker used Texans in stories.

  • Fantastika Journal
    FANTASTIKA JOURNAL Volume 4 • Issue 1 • July 2020 ISSN: 2514-8915 Fantastika Journal • Volume 4 • Issue 1 • July 2020 EDITOR’S NOTE “Fantastika” A term appropriated from a range of Slavonic languages by John Clute. It embraces the genres of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror, but can also include Alternate History, Gothic, Steampunk, Young Adult Dystopic Fiction, or any other radically imaginative narrative space. The goal of Fantastika Journal and its annual conference is to bring together academics and independent researchers who share an interest in this diverse range of fields with the aim of opening up new dialogues, productive controversies and collaborations. We invite articles examining all mediums and disciplines which concern the Fantastika genres. “Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am or why I say this. Sit down and I will tell you a tale like none you have ever heard.” (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, 2003) Time is traditionally seen as being linear; the progression of one moment to the next, a strict separation of past, present, and future based on sequential and causational relationships. Yet memory, imagination, day-dreaming, nostalgia, planning and many other routine processes blur the boundaries between them as temporal linearity appears to fold back upon itself. Certainly, we cannot avoid the reality that time conceptually propels us along in one direction, but it is simultaneously multidirectional and chaotic.
