No. 168, June 1989 President's Message Time Capsule s I write this, I'm preparing to leave forthe World SF Meeting, which Ais being held this year in conjunction with Eurocon, in the Republic of San Marino, the tiny country entirely encompassed by Italy. It's a bit eerie to realize that you will be reading this after our own SFRA annual meeting at Oxford, Ohio. So what can I say that will be relevant to the future? Much seems to depend on the discussion of questions at the annual meeting. Shall we keep the benefits package as is, or modify it, and if the latter, modify it in what ways? What other changes will our organization require to keep it healthy? Shall we alter the way we select awards, or the way the jury is selected, as proposed by Adam Frisch? Last month Fred and I participated in the awards ceremonies of the Writers of the Future at the UN Headquarters in New York. As a judge of the WotF, Fred was asked to contribute a prediction to the time capsule they sealed (to be opened in the year 2089). The last time he was asked to write a similar prediction he told me he could see too many possible futures to predict just one; there are so many ways things could go wrong and end In disaster. Don't worry, I advised him. You can be completely optimistic .. 1 pointed out that if anyone is around to open the capsule, that means we at least avoided all the terminal disasters, such as a nuclear war, in which case all our other problems should be solvable. This time, however, it seems that there are other ways than nuclear holocaust to destroy the habitat. We may experience a population "sink" or die off, the sort of thing that occurs in the ecology when one species overpopulates a limited area or some natural disaster curtails the food supply. But even If we survive this, our great-grandchildren may experience such poverty that they may never be able to share the optimism we feel about the possibilities of space exploration, much less space colonization. Or we may be survived by an illiterate genera­ tion that is barely wealthy enough to support a very few "antiquarian scholars" who can decipher our time capsule messages. Gloomy, sobering thoughts! Somethow, though, this challenge gives me a perspective that :\ SFRA Newsletter. No. 168, June 1989 makes my own load look lighter. After all, all I have to do is talk to SFRA members, you who can not only read but also write. I know this to be true because I have received a half dozen letters from SFRA members this spring, each with constructive suggestions for ways to Increase membership and/or make SFRA a better organization. I'm looking forward to some lively debate at the meeting, but for those of you who cannot be there, I Invite you especially to drop me a line about your ideas and concerns, and I will share them with the Executive Committee. - Elizabeth Anne Hull -President Editorial Note: The next issue of this newsletter will be a July/August double-issue containing a full report on the SFRA meeting in Oxford, with pictures, minutesof the executive and business meetings, and the Pilgrim Award acceptance speech. So as not to keep those of you who did not attend the meeting In suspense, however, we would like to indicate that this year's Pilgrim winner was Ursula K. Le Guin, whose speech of accep­ tance was both brilliant and charming. Also, we would like to add a footnote to some of President Hull's musings above: Neil Barron's proposal for a flexible membership benefits package was voted down at the business meeting, and would seem to be a dead issue. Barron received approximately 75 responses to his poll, and the general trend of the responses indicated that Science-Fiction Studies and Extrapola­ tion, the two journals included in the current package, were far and away the most popular choices among members. Discussion at the meeting stressed the importance of SFRA maintaining its scholarly identity by continuing to offer these journals to members. Fuller details will appear In next month's issue. Feminist Forum Forms A t the SFRA meeting in Oxford, a feminist caucus announced the organization of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Feminist Forum, a group designed to provide a network of support for scholars inter­ ested in feminism in/and speculative fiction. Immediate plans are to begin a newsletter and seek new members. Send dues ($5) to Joan Gordon [Hulip Lane, Commack, NY 11725], news to Patrick Murphy [English Dept., Indiana Univ. of Pennsylvania, Indiana, PA 15705]. More in the conference report next month. -- Rob Latham 4 SFRA Newsletter, No. 168, June 1989 Editorial ~ Now We Need Help We Got a Pretty Good Thing Going .. ET'S take a moment to survey our accomplishments in the last two Lyears. When Fantasy Review folded in August, 1987, your Newslet­ ter undertook publication of its review section, somewhat shortened but without a break. Though few people realize it, that made the SFRA Newsletter the largest and most comprehensive review service in the field. For the past two years our monthly issues have reviewed more books than any other venue, Including LOCUS, Thrust, SF Chronicle, and the New York Review of Science Fiction. We've presented an average of 21 reviews per issue, each averaging about 500 words (one page), including several longer review articles. More of the latter have been planned, in response to encouragement from members at the June meeting in Oxford, Ohio. (A full write-up of the meeting, inciden­ tally, will be featured in our next issue.) SFRA's determination to underwrite this review service is admirable, to say the least, since it's expensive. Earlier this year a crisis in membership, plus the high cost of commercial printing, almost did us In. A generous offer from Hypatia Press, to produce the magazine for us almost at cost, plus an aggressive campaign to retrieve lost mem­ bership, has rectified that situation, however. We have more than 300 members at present, and we've reduced costs to slightly less than $300 per issue. That brings the cost under control at a buck per member per issue, or about $10 a year taken from annual dues. Wider circula­ tion of the journal could reduce costs further - we might consider marketing the newsletter in specialty bookstores, or offering subscrip­ tions separately (not Insisting on full membership as a prerequisite for subscriptions), but that's a policy decision for the future. In any case, our financial problems appear to have been solved. Now The Editors Need Relief Though few people know It, the major workhorse In producing this successful effort has been Rob Latham. Latham has not only assigned the books and edited the reviews, he has "keyboarded" and "for- SFRA Newsletter, No. 168, June 1989 matted" the review copy, which ranges from 50% to 90% of the content In each issue. Rob will be moving to Stanford University in Palo Alto this fall, where he has been awarded a Jacob Javits Fellowship for four years of doctoral study.

    “We Werenʼt Kidding” • Prediction as Ideology in American Pulp Science Fiction, 1938-1949 By Joseph A. Forte Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History Robert P. Stephens (chair) Marian B. Mollin Amy Nelson Matthew H. Wisnioski May 03, 2010 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Astounding Science-Fiction, John W. Campbell, Jr., sci-fi, science fiction, pulp magazines, culture, ideology, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Theodore Sturgeon, A. E. van Vogt, American exceptionalism, capitalism, 1939 Worldʼs Fair, Cold War © 2010 Joseph A. Forte “We Werenʼt Kidding” Prediction as Ideology in American Pulp Science Fiction, 1938-1949 Joseph A. Forte ABSTRACT In 1971, Isaac Asimov observed in humanity, “a science-important society.” For this he credited the man who had been his editor in the 1940s during the period known as the “golden age” of American science fiction, John W. Campbell, Jr. Campbell was editor of Astounding Science-Fiction, the magazine that launched both Asimovʼs career and the golden age, from 1938 until his death in 1971. Campbell and his authors set the foundation for the modern sci-fi, cementing genre distinction by the application of plausible technological speculation. Campbell assumed the “science-important society” that Asimov found thirty years later, attributing sci-fi ascendance during the golden age a particular compatibility with that cultural context. On another level, sci-fiʼs compatibility with “science-important” tendencies during the first half of the twentieth-century betrayed a deeper agreement with the social structures that fueled those tendencies and reflected an explication of modernity on capitalist terms.

    exhibition hall 15 the weird west exhibition hall - november 2010 chris garcia - editor, ariane wolfe - fashion editor james bacon - london bureau chief, ric flair - whooooooooooo! contact can be made at [email protected] Well, October was one of the stronger months for Steampunk in the public eye. No conventions in October, which is rare these days, but there was the Steampunk Fortnight on Tor.com. They had some seriously good stuff, including writing from Diana Vick, who also appears in these pages, and myself! There was a great piece from Nisi Shawl that mentioned the amazing panel that she, Liz Gorinsky, Michael Swanwick and Ann VanderMeer were on at World Fantasy last year. Jaymee Goh had a piece on Commodification and Post-Modernism that was well-written, though slightly troubling to me. Stephen Hunt’s Steampunk Timeline was good stuff, and the omnipresent GD Falksen (who has never written for us!) had a couple of good piece. Me? I wrote an article about how Tomorrowland was the signpost for the rise of Steampunk. You can read it at http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/10/goodbye-tomorrow- hello-yesterday. The second piece is all about an amusement park called Gaslight in New Orleans. I’ll let you decide about that one - http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/10/gaslight- amusement. The final one all about The Cleveland Steamers. This much attention is a good thing for Steampunk, especially from a site like Tor.com, a gateway for a lot of SF readers who aren’t necessarily a part of fandom.

  • By Lee A. Breakiron ONE-SHOT WONDERS
    REHeapa Autumnal Equinox 2015 By Lee A. Breakiron ONE-SHOT WONDERS By definition, fanzines are nonprofessional publications produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, such as a literary or musical genre, for the pleasure of others who share their interests. Readers themselves often contribute to fanzines by submitting their own articles, reviews, letters of comment, and fan fiction. Though the term fanzine only dates from 1940 when it was popularized within science fiction and comic book fandom, the first fanzines actually date back to at least the nineteenth century when, as a uniquely American development, literary groups formed amateur press associations or APAs in order to publish collections of poetry, fiction, and commentary. Few, if any, writers have had as many fanzines, chapbooks, and other ephemera dedicated to them as has Robert E. Howard. Howard himself self-published his own typed “zine,” The Golden Caliph of four loose pages in about August, 1923 [1], as well as three issues of one entitled The Right Hook in 1925 (discussed later). Howard collaborated with his friends Tevis Clyde “Clyde” Smith, Jr., and Truett Vinson in their own zines, The All-Around Magazine and The Toreador respectively, in 1923 and 1925. (A copy of The All-Around Magazine sold for $911 in 2005.) Howard also participated in an amateur essay, commentary, and poetry journal called The Junto that ran from 1928 to 1930, contributing 10 stories and 13 poems to 10 of the issues that survive. Only one copy of this monthly “travelogue” was circulated among all the members of the group.

  • Catalogue XVI
    Catalogue XVI Welcome to our 16th catalogue, and we think, our finest. 108 items of rare speculative fiction from 1795 right up to 2016. The earth is around 108 sun-diameters from the sun, and in a strange quirk of the cosmos, the earth is around 108 moon-diameters from the moon. This is why the sun and moon are basically the same size in the sky, relative sizes varying by the orbital eccentricities of the earth and moon around the sun and earth respectively. When the sun, moon and earth are in syzygy (yep) this ratio allows for a total solar eclipse. In 1915 Einstein published his paper on general relativity. Despite the fact that Einstein’s theory accounted for the precession of Mercury’s orbit, a flaw with Newtonian physics first identified sixty years earlier, there was general distrust in the notion of spacetime with many of Einstein’s contemporaries preferring the more evidently empirical laws of Newton. Proof was desirable. To measure the warping of spacetime a massive body is needed. Stars are pretty massive, and the sun ain’t too shabby (it’s no Arcturus, but it’s still pretty impressive). In 1919, an experiment was devised to prove general relativity by comparing the relative positions of stars when their emitted light passes close to a massive object to their position when much further away from the massive object. The expected result was that the stars passing close to the sun would have their light warped by the sun’s bending of spacetime. The only problem with testing this was that it’s really difficult to observe stars just over the rim of the sun because, well, the sun’s pretty bright.
