  • De Mentes, Entes Y Dementes: Un Repaso Histórico-Crítico De La Ciencia Ficción Hispanoamericana
    DE MENTES, ENTES Y DEMENTES: UN REPASO HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICO DE LA CIENCIA FICCIÓN HISPANOAMERICANA. Desde sus orígenes hasta nuestro días (1870-2013) by Nelson Darío González A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish and Portuguese University of Toronto © Copyright by Nelson Darío González 2014 González ii DE MENTES, ENTES Y DEMENTES: Critical and Historical Review of Spanish-American Science Fiction (1870-2013) Nelson Darío González Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish and Portuguese University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This thesis has two main objectives. On the one hand, it is a historical and critical study of Spanish-American science fiction; on the other, it shows that the Cartesian mind-body dualism is the leading epistemological foundation of this literature. This research and the literary works examined also reveal the increasing ideological validity of biomedicine and brain studies in our understanding of human nature. A substantial number of short stories and novels by famous as well as unknown authors is examined. Ultimately, this thesis shows that Spanish-American science fiction has not only been written since the late 19th century, but that it also has intensively (although unevenly) developed since the second part of the twentieth century. The invisibility of these literary works is explained by the contradicting place of enunciation associated with all the Spanish-American science fiction writers. That is, this thesis considers the fact that science fiction written in “underdeveloped” societies has been regarded as a cultural contradiction. González iii Supplementary Abstract This dissertation encompasses a historical and critical account of Spanish-American science fiction (1870-2013).

  • Marcus Brigsto Marcus Brigstocke
    MARCUS BRIGSTOBRIGSTOCCCCKEKEKEKE The Brig Society ** Autumn UK tour dates announced ** “Dazzling, inspired, perfectly observed. I’ve yet to see anything funnier” - Daily Telegraph “Intelligent, dark, subtle stuff” - The Observer One of Britain’s finest comedians and broadcasters, Marcus BrigstockeBrigstocke,will be taking his hotly anticipated new show “The Brig Society” out on tour this autumn. The award-winning comedian is a firm favourite with comedy fans and his new show promises to be as quick-witted as his much loved catalogue of work. “The Brig Society” will, through the persuasive medium of jokes and anecdotes tackle the trivialities and complexities of life with joyful silliness and vengeful ire. This is The Brig Society. An invitation to re-engineer all the crappy systems that don't help us to be happy, live well, listen to good music, dance and eat whatever cheese we want to eat... Marcus will be performing “The Brig Society ” at the Edinburgh Fringe in August (nightly at the Assembly Rooms, Rainy Hall) with the UK tour due to kick off in mid September. In early September Marcus will be reprising his fantastically received role as King Arthur for the West End Production of award-winning musical Spamalot . Marcus’s talent was noted early on in his career in 1996 when he won the BBC New Comedian Award at the Edinburgh Festival. He is now regarded as a major comedy, writing and acting talent, performing stand up nationally to sell out audiences around the UK and globally at international comedy festivals. BBC Radio 4 has become somewhat of a second home to him with regular appearances on The Now Show and Just A Minute , and he has notched up an impressive list of TV credits including team captain on Argumental (DAVE) and the host of BBC4’s The Late Edition and I’ve Never Seen Star Wars.
