Ecclestone Out, Tennant in by Staff Writers Pet Shop Boy Cast As Tenth Doctor The Wall of Lies Issue 95 Established 1991 The newsletter of SFSA incorporating the South Australian Doctor Who Fan Club Inc. FINAL Adelaide, July-August 2005 WEATHER: Cool, damp Free Ecclestone out, Tennant in by staff writers Pet Shop Boy cast as Tenth Doctor. FOLLOWING the shock resignation of F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone as the Ninth Doctor, the BBC has revealed Neil Tennant as his replacement. We inter- viewed him via a “best of” collection in a large chain record store-- Your reaction to being cast? “Absolutely Fabulous!” What do you think of Billie Piper as Rose? “West End girls, West End girls...” Any hints as to where you’ll be travelling? “(Go West) O ut Life is peaceful there t N No ow Tenth Doctor: to be seen in the (Go West) In the open air ! company of a knobby thing.

Chameleon Factor # 79 As the club celebrated its 25th anniversary on the first of June, the success of the television show is never better. O ut t N No ow A mere thirteen weeks after it started, the new series of Doctor Who has already ! finished in the UK. The departure of star Christopher Eccleston has led to the new episodes (variously known as “series one” or “season 27”, after the 1989 season 26) being derisively named “the Eccleston three months”, and the star as “EccleQuit”. At thirteen episodes this latest series is the shortest yet, with seasons 23 to 26 running to fourteen episodes albeit of 25 minutes duration. ABC have confirmed they will not play the remaining Dalek stories, and will edit The Five Doctors for transmission. This is to comply with the terms of the 2003 agree- ment, made when the BBC and the Nation Estate were disputing their use. The contract the ABC signed then is still valid and thus prevents them from broadcasting Dalek stories post 1967. To drive the irony further, Hancock’s have stated that they SFSA magazine # 18 are not concerned with this use. q Continued Page 2 Hey, Who’s Evil, page 4. tape?, page 2 DOCTOR WHO TRIUMPHANT A S A q N from Page 1 / n o t w The new episodes have performed well in Australia, Rose the best with e N an average of 25% viewership.

  • NVS 3-1-5 M-Perschon
    Steam Wars Mike Perschon (Grant MacEwan University/University of Alberta, Canada) Abstract: While steampunk continues to defy definition, this article seeks to identify a coherent understanding of steampunk as an aesthetic. By comparing and contrasting well-known cultural icons of George Lucas’s Star Wars with their steampunk counterparts, insightful features of the steampunk aesthetic are suggested. This article engages in a close reading of individual artworks by digital artists who took part in a challenge issued on the forums of CGSociety (Computer Graphics Society) to apply a steampunk style to the Star Wars universe. The article focuses on three aspects of the steampunk aesthetic as revealed by this evidentiary approach: technofantasy, a nostalgic interpretation of imagined history, and a willingness to break nineteenth century gender roles and allow women to act as steampunk heroes. Keywords: CGSociety (Computer Graphics Society), digital art, gender roles, George Lucas, Orientalism, Star Wars , steampunk, technofantasy, visual aesthetic ***** It has been over twenty years since K.W. Jeter inadvertently coined the term ‘steampunk’ in a letter to Locus magazine in 1987. Jeter jokingly qualified the neo-Victorian writings he, James P. Blaylock, and Tim Powers were producing with the ‘-punk’ appendix, playing off the 1980s popularity of cyberpunk. Ironically the term stuck, both as descriptor for nearly every neo-Victorian work of speculative fiction since Jeter’s Infernal Devices (1987), while retroactively subsuming works such as Keith Roberts’s Pavane (1968), Michael Moorcock’s The Warlord of the Air (1971) , the 1960s television series Wild, Wild West (1965-1969, created by Michael Garrison), and even the writings of H.G.

  • The Unquiet Dead: Race and Violence in the “Post-Racial” United States
    The Unquiet Dead: Race and Violence in the “Post-Racial” United States J.E. Jed Murr A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Dr. Eva Cherniavsky, Chair Dr. Habiba Ibrahim Dr. Chandan Reddy Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English ©Copyright 2014 J.E. Jed Murr University of Washington Abstract The Unquiet Dead: Race and Violence in the “Post-Racial” United States J.E. Jed Murr Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Eva Cherniavksy English This dissertation project investigates some of the ways histories of racial violence work to (de)form dominant and oppositional forms of common sense in the allegedly “post-racial” United States. Centering “culture” as a terrain of contestation over common sense racial meaning, The Unquiet Dead focuses in particular on popular cultural repertoires of narrative, visual, and sonic enunciation to read how histories of racialized and gendered violence circulate, (dis)appear, and congeal in and as “common sense” in a period in which the uneven dispensation of value and violence afforded different bodies is purported to no longer break down along the same old racial lines. Much of the project is grounded in particular in the emergent cultural politics of race of the early to mid-1990s, a period I understand as the beginnings of the US “post-racial moment.” The ongoing, though deeply and contested and contradictory, “post-racial moment” is one in which the socio-cultural valorization of racial categories in their articulations to other modalities of difference and oppression is alleged to have undergone significant transformation such that, among other things, processes of racialization are understood as decisively delinked from racial violence.
