Not that it is the 40th; more like the 41-and-a-halfth. I’ll keep calling it the ‘40th’ because almost everything in it was in the files by January 2009, the true month of the anniversary. Only the editorials, Harry Buerkett’s contributions about Bob Tucker and a few of the letters of comment are recent. The 40th anniversary edition comes in three bits: SFCs 80, 81 and 82. Welcome to Part 1. Damien Broderick suggested that I produce an SF Commentary 80 filled entirely by contributors who were featured in No 1, January 1969. One slight problem: only Damien and I are still alive from the people who contributed to that issue. We lost John Foyster in 2003, and George Turner in 1997. Even Stephen Campbell was not there at the very beginning. He came on board, as cover artist and chief assistant collator, only with No 4 (mid 1969). I was teaching (not very well) at Ararat Technical School in 1969 when I met Stephen Campbell, then a schoolboy attending the other secondary school in town. As he relates in his Guest Editorial, I shoved some Philip K. Dick and Cordwainer Smith books in his hands, and the damage was done. He was also excited by the idea of fanzines, helped me duplicate the early issues, and joined ANZAPA (Australian and New Zealand Amateur Publishing Association) for a few mailings. He already wanted to be an artist, and that ambition remains. He attended Syncon 1, Sydney, New Year 1970. In early 1970 he and his family moved elsewhere in Victoria. I quit teaching at the end of 1970, and moved back to Melbourne. When Stephen turned up to visit me at my parents’ place in East Preston, he had quit school and turned into a wandering rover. We’ve kept in contact over the years, and now he is living in the Victorian coastal town of Warrnambool, quite near David Russell, another great friend of the magazine. Steve is still being an artist and still hoping for that great breakthrough. He does not own a computer, so every now and again he sends me wise and stimulating letters about whatever is currently itching his mind. One of those letters seemed an ideal item for a Guest Editorial. I did not so much meet Damien Broderick for the first time at the Melbourne SF Conference, Easter 1968 (my first convention) as witness his visitation. One day of the convention was spent in rural surroundings up at Boronia, in the lower reaches of the Dandenong Ranges. At the beginning of the authors’ panel (reprinted in SF Commentary 3, transcribed by Tony Thomas, who is still with us), Damien swept down the central aisle, all long hair and beard, accompanied by people who seemed to be his disciples from Monash University, spoke his piece at the panel, then swept out again at the end, not to be seen again until the Easter 1969 Melbourne SF Convention. In the meantime I had published, thanks to amaz- ing efforts of Lee Harding, Leigh Edmonds, John Foyster and John Bangsund, SF Commentary 1. In 1968, I had had few people to talk to during the convention. Easter 1969, everybody wanted to say hello. To my amazement, no less a figure than Damien Broderick summoned me over for a natter. In the years since, Damien has travelled much fur- ther than I have — producing many well-known Australian novels and short stories and criti- cal books; acquiring a doctorate; and moving to San Antonio, Texas — but he’s maintained an interest in SF Commentary. Stephen Campbell (l.) and Bruce Gillespie (r.), 17 February 2010. (Photo: Elaine Cochrane.) 4 What has been the greatest change over the years since 1969, apart from my disappearing hairline and expandng waistline? Not just the change from typewriter-and-duplicator production methods to computer typesetting and offset printing. Not just the influence of the Internet, a channel that has rediscovered friends long thought missing and delivered to me the vast plenitude of material available for this issue. No, the major change has been inside my head, typified by the long-running editorial column heading ‘I Must Be Talking to My Friends’. As Damien himself once said, what I wanted to publish originally was more like SF Criterion than SF Commentary. What became obvious by the early seventies is that I really wanted to do was gather all my friends in one magazine. My friends knew me and each other because of their mutual interest in science fiction literature.

  • Librarian As Fair Witness: a Comparison of Heinlein's Futuristic
    LIBRES Library and Information Science Research Electronic Journal Volume 21, Issue 1, March 2011 Librarian as Fair Witness: A Comparison of Heinlein’s Futuristic Occupation and Today’s Evolving Information Professional Julie M. Still Paul Robeson Library Rutgers University Camden, NJ [email protected] There has been a continuing discussion in library literature on the library as place and on the image of librarians in popular media, but there is little information on the librarian as person. The discussion on librarianship as a profession tends to focus on technology and not so much the people, other than the people skills needed in reference or teaching skills needed for instruction. The worth of the individual librarian tends to get lost in the shuffle. Before we disappear into the machine, it is useful to look at other future scenarios and similar occupations, either reality based or fiction. In this particular case, it is interesting to compare librarians to those in an occupation created by a renowned science fiction author. Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land, his most famous and most controversial novel, is a science fiction classic. The science fiction community recognized it with a Hugo Award, and the book was the first science fiction title to be on the New York Times bestseller list (Stover, 1987, p. 45). Heinlein outlined the novel in 1949 and finished the first draft in 1955 but on the advice of his wife set it aside. It was not published until 1961. The manuscript was edited heavily and an uncut version was published in 1991.

Sometimes this is obviously negative and hard to miss, Stranger in a Strange Land for a modern reader: "Nine times out of ten, if a girl gets raped, it's partly her fault" Church of All Stranger in a Strange Land. I marked the section where Mr. Heinlein I believe it was Spider Robinson who once wrote "There's a special word that authors use to describe someone who thinks that every character is speaking for the author himself. Sex, religion, politics Some of it also stems from the fact that I think Heinlein Stranger in a Strange Land to think he had some insight into the sexual Stranger in a Strange Land of women and I think he missed the mark by a long shot.

  • Intimacies of Violence in the Settler Colony Economies of Dispossession Around the Pacific Rim
    Cambridge Imperial & Post-Colonial Studies INTIMACIES OF VIOLENCE IN THE SETTLER COLONY ECONOMIES OF DISPOSSESSION AROUND THE PACIFIC RIM EDITED BY PENELOPE EDMONDS & AMANDA NETTELBECK Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series Series Editors Richard Drayton Department of History King’s College London London, UK Saul Dubow Magdalene College University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK The Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series is a collection of studies on empires in world history and on the societies and cultures which emerged from colonialism. It includes both transnational, comparative and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna- tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic focus. The series includes work on politics, economics, culture, literature, science, art, medicine, and war. Our aim is to collect the most exciting new scholarship on world history with an imperial theme.
