Grade Level: 01 & Up Steampunk Gear_s Time: 60 mins. Difficulty: Medium Steampunk is a popular form of artistic and literary expression. According to Clean Up: Soap & Water Wikipedia, “Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.” Images of retro-futuristic Steampunk technology frequently incorporate gears and the use of iron oxide colors, as well as gold, silver and gray. Using Gear Stencils, we’ll be creating elegant backgrounds inspired by Steampunk. Materials Used: Roylco Gear Stencils (R58624) drawing paper (8.5x11") pastels (red & brown hues) vine charcoal watercolors (yellow, orange, green and blue hues) cotton ball eraser brush Step 1 First, we need to create our composition. On a sheet of paper, attach your Gear Stencils with a small amount of removable tape. Pay attention to where the gears line up, and how they fit together. How does their placement reflect their purpose? Continue to build your composition, filling up the space, until you have everything where you want it. Step 2 Once you’re satisfied with your composition, use a red or brown pastel chalk to go over the background spaces that are not covered. Be careful not to color underneath the stencils, because we want those areas to remain clean. As you work, smooth your pastel marks with a piece of cotton to blend them together. Step 3 Before you remove the gears from the paper, trace over their outlines with a piece of thin charcoal. Then remove the stencils from the paper. Step 4 Using your watercolors, fill the spaces where the stencils used to be. Let dry. For more inspiration and fun ideas, visit our website! Follow us on social media: www.roylco.com Roylco Inc.

Discussion About Edwardian/Pulp Era Science Fiction
Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Jess Nevins July 2019 Jess Nevins is the author of “the Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana” and other works on Victoriana and pulp fiction. He has also written original fiction. He is employed as a reference librarian at Lone Star College-Tomball. Nevins has annotated several comics, including Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Elseworlds, Kingdom Come and JLA: The Nail. Gary Denton: In America, we had Hugo Gernsback who founded science fiction magazines, who were the equivalents in other countries? The sort of science fiction magazine that Gernsback established, in which the stories were all science fiction and in which no other genres appeared, and which were by different authors, were slow to appear in other countries and really only began in earnest after World War Two ended. (In Great Britain there was briefly Scoops, which only 20 issues published in 1934, and Tales of Wonder, which ran from 1937 to 1942). What you had instead were newspapers, dime novels, pulp magazines, and mainstream magazines which regularly published science fiction mixed in alongside other genres. The idea of a magazine featuring stories by different authors but all of one genre didn’t really begin in Europe until after World War One, and science fiction magazines in those countries lagged far behind mysteries, romances, and Westerns, so that it wasn’t until the late 1940s that purely science fiction magazines began appearing in Europe and Great Britain in earnest. Gary Denton: Although he was mainly known for Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle also created the Professor Challenger stories like The Lost World.

Fantasy and Science Fiction
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS COLLECTIONS POLICY STATEMENTS ±² Collections Policy Statement Index Fantasy and Science Fiction Contents I. Scope II. Research Strengths III. Collecting Policy IV. Acquisitions Sources: Current and Future V. Collecting Levels VI. Appendices I. Scope This Collections Policy Statement deals with fantasy and science fiction and is intended to complement the existing Collections Policy Statement for Literature and Language. While the latter statement addresses the need for the Library to acquire works by authors “whose writings are generally regarded as having literary merit [or] as representing important trends in serious creative writing," genre designations such as fantasy, science fiction, science fantasy, and horror often eliminate works of cultural and artistic merit from serious consideration by the literary mainstream. Although often overlooked, the genre of fantasy and its sub-genre, science fiction, both express and embody with increasing significance important elements of the popular culture of the United States, as well many other nations; hence, they are accorded separate treatment in the present statement. This statement is addressed in particular to works specifically marketed by publishers as either fantasy or fiction, rather than to works of speculative fiction that have already achieved mainstream literary recognition, e.g., the fantasy and science fiction of George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, Aldous Huxley, Doris Lessing, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Anne Rice, et al., and are therefore covered by Literature. This statement also applies to non-book materials which share the same characteristics as print literature in these genres, especially moving image and recorded sound materials. Throughout this statement particular attention is given to science fiction (although it is, in fact, a sub- genre of fantasy) because it dominates the genre of fantasy in terms of the total number of titles published.

I went to see, I went to see “Logan’s Run,” right. They had a movie of the future called “Logan’s Run.” Ain’t no niggers in it. I said, well white folks ain’t planning for us to be here. That’s why we gotta make movies. Then we[’ll] be in the pictures.” —Richard Pryor in “Black Hollywood” from Richard Pryor: Bicentennial Nigger (1976) Futurist fiction and fantasy (hereinafter referred to as “FFF”) encompasses a variety of subgenres: hard science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, sword-and-sorcerer fantasy, and cyberpunk.1 Unfortunately, even though nearly a century has expired since the advent of FFF, Richard Pryor’s observation and a call for action is still viable.

Racial Representation in Fantasy Literature
Université de Montréal Otherworldly Others : Racial Representation in Fantasy Literature Par John Henry Rumsby Département de Littératures et de Langues du Monde Faculté des Arts et des Sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des Arts et des Sciences en vue d’obtention du grade de maîtrise (M.A.) en Études Anglaises Juin 2017 © John Henry Rumsby Abstract Despite nigh-limitless potential for worldbuilding and social representation, Fantasy literature has often been rightfully accused of being plagiaristic, unambitious, filled with racist narratives and themes. However, I would instead argue that the genre’s most defining generic characteristics and its history of pastiche are the best tools at Fantasy’s disposal to address concepts such as race or racism in a dignified way, or even with the intent of promoting social justice. Therefore, the goal of my thesis is both to legitimize Fantasy as an art form worthy of study and respect, all while proving how the elements and traditions that led the genre to earn its racist reputation can be used differently, in order to demolish discourses of racialization or institutionalized racism. The first half of the thesis will act as a critical examination of how Fantasy’s relationship to racial representation and racism has fluctuated over time, as well as explain why racism is so prevalent in this subset of popular literature. The second half consists of a creative writing project that will prove by example that Fantasy can be used to address race and racism without reinforcing discriminatory ideologies, nor appropriating pre-existing racial identity discourses. The theory portion of my thesis will illustrate how the genre’s racist lineage manifests itself within different narratives and historical periods, all while elaborating how Fantasy can involuntarily encourage racist ideologies, as an indirect result of the genre’s most defining elements.

Vor den Folgen der globalen Erwärmung muss uns dieses Subgenre nicht mehr warnen, das machen mittlerweile schon die Tageszeitungen. Aber ein paar Denkanstöße gibt es uns trotzdem. Ende 2017 fand in Berlin eine Konferenz zum Thema Climate Engineering statt – es ging dabei um die Vorstellung, mittels technischer Verfahren die menschengemachte Erwärmung der Erde in den Griff zu bekommen. Die Idee der Wetterkontrolle gehört auf den ersten Blick eher ins Reich der Science Fiction; doch tatsächlich wird aber einiges an Geld investiert und Forschung betrieben. Im Rahmen der Konferenz warb unter anderem der Harvard-Physikprofessor David Keith für ein Verfahren, das schon länger im Gespräch ist: Durch Einbringung von Schwefelpartikeln in die Erdatmosphäre soll die Sonneneinstrahlung stärker reflektiert werden. Angesichts immer wieder verfehlter Emissionsziele, des Ausstieg der USA aus dem Pariser Klimaabkommen und der resignierten Erkenntnis, dass die Erderwärmung längst da ist und neben dem Anstieg des Meeresspiegels, der Versauerung der Ozeane und einem massenhaften Artensterben auch Dürren, gewaltige Wirbelstürme und Flutkatastrophen im Gepäck hat, die die Menschheit weltweit unmittelbar zu spüren kriegt, erscheinen solche Notfallpläne durchaus verlockend. Natürlich wäre es verantwortlicher, Wege zu finden, um unsere CO2-Emissionen deutlich zu drosseln, aber das scheint ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit zu sein.
