  • A Ficção Científica De Acordo Com Os Futurians Science Fiction According
    A ficção científica de acordo com os Futurians Science Fiction According to the Futurians Andreya Susane Seiffert1 DOI: 10.19177/memorare.v8e12021204-216 Resumo: The Futurian Society of New York, ou simplesmente The Futurians, foi um grupo de fãs e posteriormente escritores e editores de ficção científica, que existiu de 1938 a 1945. O período é geralmente lembrado pela atuação do editor John Cambpell Jr. à frente da Astounding Science Fiction. A revista era, de fato, a principal pulp à época e moldou muito do que se entende por ficção científica até hoje. Os Futurians eram, de certa forma, uma oposição a Campbell e seu projeto. Três membros do grupo viraram editores também e foram responsáveis por seis revistas pulps diferentes, em que foram publicadas dezenas de histórias com autoria dos Futurians. Esse artigo analisa parte desse material e procura fazer um pequeno panorama de como os Futurians pensaram e praticaram a ficção científica no início da década de 1940. Palavras-chave: Ficção Científica. Futurians. Abstract: The Futurian Society of New York, or simply The Futurians, was a group of fans and later writers and editors of science fiction, which existed from 1938 to 1945. The period is generally remembered for the role of editor John Cambpell Jr. at the head of Astounding Science Fiction. The magazine was, in fact, the main pulp at the time and shaped much of what is understood by science fiction until today. The Futurians were, in a way, an opposition to Campbell and his project. Three members of the group became editors as well and were responsible for six different pulp magazines, in which dozens of stories were published by the Futurians.

  • Checklist of Fantasy Magazines 1945
    A CHECKLIST OF FANTASY MAGAZINES 1945 Edition Bulletin Number One 20 c to Subscribers PREFACE As the first of a long line of Foundation publications we are happy to present a relatively complete checklist of all fantasy periodicals. Insofar as the major Eng­ lish-language titles are concerned, we believe this list to be both complete and error-free, but it was not poss­ ible to furnish an adequate listing of.several of the more obscure items. It is also very likely that there exist several foreign language publications whose names are not even known to us. Anyone able to furnish addi­ tional information is requested to send it to Forrest J. Ackerman, 236^ N. New Hampshire, Los Angeles 4, Cal., for inclusion in the next edition of this checklist. No author is shown on the title page of this pamphlet because in its present form it is the work of at least five individuals: Norman V. Lamb, William H. Evans, Merlin W. Brown, Forrest J. Ackerman, and Francis T, Laney. The Fantasy Foundation wishes to extend its thanks to these gentlemen, as well as to the several members of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society who assisted in its production.

  • Eng 4936 Syllabus
    ENG 4936 (Honors Seminar): Reading Science Fiction: The Pulps Professor Terry Harpold Spring 2019, Section 7449 Time: MWF, per. 5 (11:45 AM–12:35 PM) Location: Little Hall (LIT) 0117 office hours: M, 4–6 PM & by appt. (TUR 4105) email: [email protected] home page for Terry Harpold: http://users.clas.ufl.edu/tharpold/ e-Learning (Canvas) site for ENG 4936 (registered students only): http://elearning.ufl.edu Course description The “pulps” were illustrated fiction magazines published between the late 1890s and the late 1950s. Named for the inexpensive wood pulp paper on which they were printed, they varied widely as to genre, including aviation fiction, fantasy, horror and weird fiction, detective and crime fiction, railroad fiction, romance, science fiction, sports stories, war fiction, and western fiction. In the pulps’ heyday a bookshop or newsstand might offer dozens of different magazines on these subjects, often from the same publishers and featuring work by the same writers, with lurid, striking cover and interior art by the same artists. The magazines are, moreover, chock-full of period advertising targeted at an emerging readership, mostly – but not exclusively – male and subject to predictable The first issue of Amazing Stories, April 1926. Editor Hugo Gernsback worries and aspirations during the Depression and Pre- promises “a new sort of magazine,” WWII eras. (“Be a Radio Expert! Many Make $30 $50 $75 featuring the new genre of a Week!” “Get into Aviation by Training at Home!” “scientifiction.” “Listerine Ends Husband’s Dandruff in 3 Weeks!” “I’ll Prove that YOU, too, can be a NEW MAN! – Charles Atlas.”) The business end of the pulps was notoriously inconstant and sometimes shady; magazines came into and went out of publication with little fanfare; they often changed genres or titles without advance notice.
