Tucker, Swansea University, Swansea, UK Jeffrey R. Yost, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA The History of Computing series publishes high-quality books which address the history of computing, with an emphasis on the ‘externalist’ view of this history, more accessible to a wider audience. The series examines content and history from four main quadrants: the history of relevant technologies, the history of the core science, the history of relevant business and economic developments, and the history of computing as it pertains to social history and societal developments. Titles can span a variety of product types, including but not exclusively, themed volumes, biographies, ‘profi le’ books (with brief biographies of a number of key people), expansions of workshop proceedings, general readers, scholarly expositions, titles used as ancillary textbooks, revivals and new editions of previous worthy titles. These books will appeal, varyingly, to academics and students in computer science, history, mathematics, business and technology studies.

    The Artwork Caught by the Tail* GEORGE BAKER If it were married to logic, art would be living in incest, engulfing, swallowing its own tail. —Tristan Tzara, Manifeste Dada 1918 The only word that is not ephemeral is the word death. To death, to death, to death. The only thing that doesn’t die is money, it just leaves on trips. —Francis Picabia, Manifeste Cannibale Dada, 1920 Je m’appelle Dada He is staring at us, smiling, his face emerging like an exclamation point from the gap separating his first from his last name. “Francis Picabia,” he writes, and the letters are blunt and childish, projecting gaudily off the canvas with the stiff pride of an advertisement, or the incontinence of a finger painting. (The shriek of the commodity and the babble of the infant: Dada always heard these sounds as one and the same.) And so here is Picabia. He is staring at us, smiling, a face with- out a body, or rather, a face that has lost its body, a portrait of the artist under the knife. Decimated. Decapitated. But not quite acephalic, to use a Bataillean term: rather the reverse. Here we don’t have the body without a head, but heads without bodies, for there is more than one. Picabia may be the only face that meets our gaze, but there is also Metzinger, at the top and to the right.

Chicago –, IL, United States of America ABSTRACT * Associate Professor, To date, there have been very few studies on fandom and fan audiences that have focused Media and Cinema on practice of fans’ list-making. This article, which introduces this topic for analysis, first Studies, College of Communication, DePaul argues that fans’ list-making presents fans with an opportunity to simultaneously memo- University.

Second, this article offers list-making as a tool for observing [email protected] commonalities between the different practices of media, music, and sports fans. Finally, this article cautions against the universality of these list-making practices, illustrating how list-making shows the artificiality of the event in fan activities. Using a combination of Žižekian and Couldryian analyses, this article argues that fans’ list-making becomes a new way of reading fandom reductively, and highlights the media ritual of fandom. Keywords: Fandom, fan studies, memory, influence, hierarchy, list RESUMO Até o momento, há poucos estudos de fandom e de audiência dos fãs que enfoquem a práti- ca da elaboração de listas por eles. Este artigo, que introduz a análise do tema, inicialmente defende que a feitura de listas por fãs permite que eles tenham uma oportunidade de, ao mesmo tempo, recordar, influenciar e discutir. Em segundo lugar, o artigo mostra a elabo- ração de listas como um instrumento para perceber semelhanças entre as diferentes prá- ticas dos fãs de mídia, música e esportes.

Brian Greenen The Elegant Universe (2000), Stephen Hawkingin The Universe in a Nutshell (2001) ja Peter Coveneyn ja Roger Highfieldin The Arrow of Time (1991) ovat teoreettisen fysiikan saavutuksia popularisoiden kuvaavia kirjoja. Niiden esittelemiä fysiikan teorioita verrataan Adamsin kirjasarjassa esiintyviin tapahtumiin, ja teorioiden vaikutus kirjasarjaan pyritään osoittamaan. Lisäksi, Helge Kraghin Quantum Generations (1999) toimii käsiteltyjen fysiikan teorioiden syntyajankohtaa tarkentavana hakuteoksena. Tutkielma pyrkii myös kumoamaan Adamsin väitteen jonka mukaan yhtäläisyydet hänen kirjasarjansa tapahtumien ja tieteellisten teorioiden välillä ovat täysin sattumanvaraisia. Väitteen kumoamista oikeutetaan mainitsemalla joitakin M.J. Simpsonin Douglas Adams-elämäkerrassaan Hitchhiker (2003) listaamia väritettyjä tarinoita, joita Adams kertoi itsestään. Tutkielman rakenne on kolmiosainen.

It defines the qualities of the hypertext narrative and looks specifically at how hyperfiction has utilized these qualities. It outlines the aspects of hypertext relevant to shaping an online narrative and then considers how those aspects of hypertext could be applied to one of the forms of narrative, the online news story, that up to this point has not effectively utilized screen-based text. The online news story is an example of words on a screen functioning in much the same way they have for hundreds of years on the newspaper page. This thesis focuses specifically on the application of hypertext theory to online newspaper because of the precarious place in which that media finds itself as it works to adapt to the age of the Internet.

  • Mark Carwardine Wild Thoughts

    MARK CARWARDINE WILD THOUGHTS The reason I haven’t written this column for the past six months or so is that I’ve been criss-crossing the globe with Stephen Fry. Our plan was to retrace the steps I had taken on a similar journey 20 years earlier with Douglas Adams, for a book entitled Last Chance to See, to learn how a motley collection of endangered animals have been coping and to make a BBC series about our findings. Our journey has left me with a mind-boggling mishmash of memories and impressions: exactly how much Stephen hates camping, for example, and the astonishing fact that he can learn a new language in just three weeks. But my overriding impression is to do with conservation. And I’m afraid it’s not good. I remember flying down the east coast of Madagascar in 1989, over an almost continuous swathe of rainforest that stretched as far as the eye could see. Sitting next to Stephen, exactly two decades de Roy/Minden/FLPA Tui later, we stared out of the window at the same stretch of coast – and there was virtually no forest left. On the other side of the world, in New Zealand, we went in search of the world’s largest, fattest and least-able-to-fly parrot – the kakapo.
