    THE The Magazine Of Genesis Sci-Fi October 2013 The Magazine Of Genesis Sci-Fi September 2013 Hello, one and all, welcome back to Genesis. First of all, I would like to thank Paul Belsey for last Chairman: month’s programme, and it was so good to see some old Paul Russell favourites not seen in a long time. This month sees the return of Matt as programme editor and quiz master. Now, Vice Chairman this month I have already seen a copy of the programme; David Offen-James unlike last month; and know it is up to Matt’s usual high standard of illustrious innovation (We’re also showing the Treasurer: original Star Trek episode Spock’s Brain - Ed). The choices Matthew Greet for the film vote are somewhat different, but what else would we expect from Matt? Events Secretary: Paul Belsey Now I am “semi” retired, and by this I mean working longer and harder than I ever did when in full time Membership employment, it was with some surprise that I looked at Secretary: my calendar and noticed it was already October! Now of Louise Stanley cause this is probably not news to you, but I thought ‘oh my goodness, where has the year gone to?’ The drawing of Honorary President: the evenings, the fact that I am now going to work in the Jeremy Bulloch dark (often returning in the dark as well) could, of course been construed as clues, but as I have often remarked Website: before I can sometimes be ‘not the sharpest tool in the www.genesis-sf.org.uk box’.

W. Hornung, 1899 E. W. Hornung has some thing in common with Arthur Conan Doyle. They both authored over a dozen serious literary novels, but their lasting fame came through their light ‘entertainments’, Mr. Hornung for Raffles, and Mr. Doyle for Holmes. Another thing they had in common was Mr. Doyle’s sister, Connie. Mr. Hornung made her his wife. A. J. Raffles, the gentleman thief, was popular from the first publication in 1899. Raffles was first featured in a film in 1905, a silent film, and he has starred in films and television shows ever since. If you read the stories from beginning to end, you’ll see something very interesting. Mr. Hornung progresses Raffles’s deeply flawed character along it’s inevitable path to his self-destruction.

    Rhetorics of Belonging Postcolonialism across the Disciplines 14 Bernard, Rhetorics of Belonging.indd 1 09/09/2013 11:17:03 Postcolonialism across the Disciplines Series Editors Graham Huggan, University of Leeds Andrew Thompson, University of Exeter Postcolonialism across the Disciplines showcases alternative directions for postcolonial studies. It is in part an attempt to counteract the dominance in colonial and postcolonial studies of one particular discipline – English literary/ cultural studies – and to make the case for a combination of disciplinary knowledges as the basis for contemporary postcolonial critique. Edited by leading scholars, the series aims to be a seminal contribution to the field, spanning the traditional range of disciplines represented in postcolonial studies but also those less acknowledged. It will also embrace new critical paradigms and examine the relationship between the transnational/cultural, the global and the postcolonial.
