  • Guilt, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation in Contemporary Music
    IS SORRY REALLY THE HARDEST WORD? GUILT, FORGIVENESS, AND RECONCILIATION IN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC Ariana Sarah Phillips-Hutton Darwin College Department of Music University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 ABSTRACT IS SORRY REALLY THE HARDEST WORD? GUILT, FORGIVENESS, AND RECONCILIATION IN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC Ariana S. Phillips-Hutton Guilt, forgiveness, and reconciliation are fundamental themes in human musical life, and this thesis investigates how people articulate these experiences through musical performance in contemporary genres. I argue that by participating in performances, individuals enact social narratives that create and reinforce wider ideals of music’s roles in society. I assess the interpenetrations of music and guilt, forgiveness, and reconciliation through a number of case studies spanning different genres preceded by a brief introduction to my methodology. My analysis of Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw illustrates the themes (guilt, confession and memorialisation) and approach I adopt in the three main case studies. My examination of William Fitzsimmons’s indie folk album The Sparrow and the Crow, investigates how ideals of authenticity, self-revelation, and persona structure our understanding of the relationship between performer and audience in confessional indie music. Analyses of two contemporary choral settings of Psalm 51 by Arvo Pärt and James MacMillan examine the confessional relationship between human beings and God. I suggest that by

  • Speculative Fiction for the Future of Man and Civilization
    Speculative Fiction for the Future of Man and Civilization Bogdan Trocha1 Doctor of Science (Philology), Professor, University of Zielona Góra (Zielona Góra, Poland) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2348-4813 The main thesis of the article is the comparison of speculative fiction with the challenges facing modern man. Introductory questions are two issues. How can fantasy become the subject of cultural reflection on the future of human civilization? Can contemporary speculative fistion act as an instructional story about the unknown? The author indicates several basic models of using speculative fiction. However, it limits itself to creating an introductory canon, which is associated with literary speculations regarding the impact of man and technology on the future of civilization. Keywords: myth, speculative fiction, political fiction, space opera, postapocalyptic fiction, ecological science fiction Received: September 11, 2019; accepted: October 5, 2019 Future Human Image, Volume 12, 2019: 104-114. https://doi.org/10.29202/fhi/12/9 In the face of the unknown — in search of model stories: myth, fantasy, speculative fiction The notion of speculative fiction has been firmly established in popular culture for many years. However, while it is very easy to point to the essential features of the poetics of this type of novel, it is much more difficult to point to the cultural paradigm from which both speculative fiction and the need to use this type of poetics stems. The foundations of this type of cognitive and creative procedures should be found in two aspects of the human condition. The first one is certainly the aspiration to discover the sense of everything that man experiences in various ways in the world around him.

  • Getting up to Speed in Science Fiction by Joyce Saricks
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Getting Up To Speed in Science Fiction By Joyce Saricks What is Science Fiction? Science fiction is speculative fiction set in worlds based on plausible scientific theories. The genre traditionally describes future worlds and technologies, but past settings that are nonetheless rich in future technologies have grown in popularity. No matter the time and setting, science supported by known scientific principles drive the stories. What happens in a Science Fiction novel? Science fiction novels run the gamut from traditional action and adventure (with ray guns) to stories that incorporate moral, social, and ethical issues into explorations of philosophical, technical, and intellectual questions. Science fiction is fertile ground for the discussion of challenging and often controversial issues and ideas, and authors may use it expressly for that purpose. Why do people like Science Fiction? The genre is rich in physical and intellectual adventure, with something to please a wide range of readers, from fans of romance and mystery to those who appreciate literary fiction and even westerns. Science fiction is evocative and visual, filled with technical and scientific details. Readers prize science fiction for its ability to raise thought-provoking issues, whether intellectual, moral, or social. Science fiction deals with "why", philosophical speculations, as well as with "where", futuristic settings outside of the usual; with alien beings as well as alien and unorthodox concepts. It cherishes the unexpected, in terms of setting, characters, and plot, and it prides itself in its ability to raise challenging questions. Science fiction also affirms the importance of the imagination and of story in readers' lives.

[PROCEDURE FOR HAVING A SCHEDULED OFFICE VISIT WITH PTJ: regular office-hours are unscheduled, and are generally some combination of first-come, first-served plus a periodic triage for time constraints and the like. These hours will change from week to week, but generally will be sometime on Mondays or Wednesdays. During regular office-hours, I am guaranteed to be in my office and available for a face-to-face chat. If you cannot make it to regular office hours, and you don’t want to just drop in and take your chances, you have to make appointments with PTJ by e-mail. First, check PTJ’s calendar online (http://ical.mac.com/onyxdr/Patrick); second, request an open time-slot; third, wait for an e-mailed confirmation before writing the appointment into your own schedule.] Course Objective and Description Social science has the explanation of society as its explicit goal. Social scientists often try to achieve this goal by studying historical situations in order to elucidate the impact of various factors on outcomes, in the hopes that those impacts can then be extrapolated to other cases. Authors of science fiction engage in similar strategies, although their methods are often more speculative and their conclusions more metaphorical. This commonality of orientation and approach forms the impetus for this course.
