  • The Sci-Fi Optimist
    COMMENT BOOKS & ARTS literature and science. Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) is about scien- REX tific method and its misuses. Scientists Professor Lidenbrock and Axel enter Earth through an Icelandic crater and, after improbable adventures involving mastodons and underground oceans, are ejected through the Italian volcano Strom- boli. Lidenbrock ignores data that disturb his schema. Axel is a romantic who fails to examine observable facts. Yet the book probes scientific wonder: when Axel is lost and terrified in subterranean darkness, the reader experiences awe contemplating the complete absence of light. The French-language genre advanced significantly with the uncompromis- ing scientific approach of J.-H. Rosny Aîné — the pseudonym of the Belgian Joseph Henri Honoré Boex. In the 1910 Death of the Earth, Rosny’s vision of global environ­mental crisis is prescient. An imbalance created partly by humans turns Earth to desert.

  • AN Smith Lecture by Michael Gawenda
    A N Smith Lecture in Journalism The University of Melbourne __________________________________________________________________ Do newspapers have a future? And how long is that future? Michael Gawenda Thank you all for coming and thank you Vice Chancellor Glyn Davis for asking me to give this lecture. I am in the company of some very distinguished people who have given the A.N. Smith lecture in the past. I hope I can be somewhere near as interesting and provocative as some of them were. I want to start with a couple of quotes from dead old white men, a demographic I am bound, sooner or later, to join. That’s my future taken care of. I state the obvious of course, but do so because how journalists and editors like me regard the future of newspapers depends on how much of a future we ourselves have--in newspapers and in life. Most these quotes come from books and articles I have not read. They are quotes I have found by using the Google search engine. The Google search engine has now become a widespread research tool in journalism. The effects are not always benign. Still, I have, at times, succumbed to its seductiveness. In 1961, the American playwright Arthur Miller said: `A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.’ I think that with a small edit, the sort a sub- editor of a certain type could easily perform, this Miller attempt at wisdom about newspapers could have said something that would be as true today as it would have been almost a half century ago : `A bad newspaper, I suppose, is a newspaper talking to itself’.

  • Trudy Cowley & Dianne Snowden
    Trudy Cowley & Dianne Snowden, Patchwork Prisoners: the Rajah Quilt and the women who made it, Hobart: Research Tasmania, 2013. 326 pages, includes Index and Bibliography The ship Rajah arrived in Hobart in 1841 with a cargo of female prisoners, and the patchwork quilt made by some of them. This book tells their story, and the authors, both well‐known historians, have left no stone unturned to cover every aspect of it. In doing so, they have skilfully set the voyage, the quilt and the women in the context of their times. There is fascinating information about the quilt, with excellent material about Elizabeth Fry and her Ladies’ Committee, who provided not only materials for the quilt, but a matron (Keziah Hayter) to supervise making it. The authors suggest identifications of quilters among the convicts, with those who acknowledged sewing skills more likely. All convicts on board are described: their crimes, their native places, their descriptions, ages, height and background, for example whether they were ‘on the town’. The trip out is also described, and what happened to the women when they arrived: where and to whom they were assigned, their experiences, any further offences. Many lived in institutions, such as female factories, hiring depots and hospitals. Many women married, and this is covered in detail: how many were already married in Britain, colonial marriages, children – and those who did not marry, and who had same‐sex relationships. Women’s lives after sentence are described – their jobs, their marriages, family life, in chapters entitled ‘Freedom’ and ‘Surviving’. Then comes death, which is analysed in detail: the cause, age, place, and memorials for the women.

  • American Science Fiction and the Politics of Masculinity, 1965
    Making the Men of Tomorrow: American Science Fiction and the Politics of Masculinity, 1965 – 1974 By Jason Bruce James Bourget A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in English Language and Literature in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada Final submission November, 2016 Copyright © Jason Bruce James Bourget, 2016 Abstract Suggesting that the political diversity of American science fiction during the 1960s and early 1970s constitutes a response to the dominance of social liberalism throughout the 1940s and 1950s, I argue in Making the Men of Tomorrow that the development of new hegemonic masculinities in science fiction is a consequence of political speculation. Focusing on four representative and influential texts from the 1960s and early 1970s, Philip K. Dick’s The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch and Ubik, Robert A. Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, and Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed, this thesis explores the relationship between different conceptions of hegemonic masculinity and three separate but related political ideologies: the social ethic, market libertarianism, and socialist libertarianism. In the first two chapters in which I discuss Dick’s novels, I argue that Dick interrogates organizational masculinity as part of a larger project that suggests the inevitable infeasibility of both the social ethic and its predecessor, social liberalism. In the next chapter, I shift my attention to Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress as a way of showing how, unlike Dick, other authors of the 1960s and early 1970s sought to move beyond social liberalism by imagining how new political ideologies, in this case market libertarianism, might change the way men see themselves.
