The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

  • The Mutual Influence of Science Fiction and Innovation
    Nesta Working Paper No. 13/07 Better Made Up: The Mutual Influence of Science fiction and Innovation Caroline Bassett Ed Steinmueller George Voss Better Made Up: The Mutual Influence of Science fiction and Innovation Caroline Bassett Ed Steinmueller George Voss Reader in Digital Media, Professor of Information and Research Fellow, Faculty of Arts, Research Centre for Material Technology, SPRU, University University of Brighton, Visiting Digital Culture, School of of Communication Sussex Fellow at SPRU, University of Media, Film and Music, Sussex University of Sussex Nesta Working Paper 13/07 March 2013 www.nesta.org.uk/wp13-07 Abstract This report examines the relationship between SF and innovation, defined as one of mutual engagement and even co-constitution. It develops a framework for tracing the relationships between real world science and technology and innovation and science fiction/speculative fiction involving processes of transformation, central to which are questions of influence, persuasion, and desire. This is contrasted with the more commonplace assumption of direct linear transmission, SF providing the inventive seed for innovation– instances of which are the exception rather than the rule. The model of influence is developed through an investigation of the nature and evolution of genre, the various effects/appeals of different forms of expression, and the ways in which SF may be appropriated by its various audiences. This is undertaken (i) via an inter- disciplinary survey of work on SF, and a consideration the historical construction of genre and its on-going importance, (ii) through the development of a prototype database exploring transformational paths, and via more elaborated loops extracted from the database, and (iii) via experiments with the development of a web crawl tool, to understand at a different scale, using tools of digital humanities, how fictional ideas travel.

Wormholes. Time travel. Transporters. Androids. Aliens. Space cowboys and Saurian brandy. This is the stuff of science fiction, of future worlds and alternate universes. Syd Mead’s definition focuses our study since science fiction stories should lie within the realm of scientific possibility. (Think about Captain Kirk’s communicator and then look down at your cell phone.) In this course, we’ll boldly explore what critics call the “literature of ideas,” the genre that bridges the arts and sciences, and we’ll discuss how writers have used science fiction as a vehicle for social criticism and a commentary on the human condition. We’ll be reading some of the finest science fiction ever written and watching some great film adaptations. You will also be reading a variety of critical articles written by the leading scholars of their time. By the end of the course, you should be able to do the following: • Trace the evolution of the science fiction tradition • Identify the leading writers and scholars in the canon • Grasp the conventions and characteristics of the science fiction genre • Conduct research in science fiction appropriate for a 300-level English course • Read a text through several critical methodologies • Construct and support a sound, reasonable argument • Demonstrate control of your reading and thinking about texts • Engage in your own creative work in the genre • Formulate some of your own conclusions about the importance of the science fiction genre and its significance to contemporary culture Learning Outcomes for English majors In addition to the outcomes for the course, English majors will demonstrate the following: 1.

    Matt Hamparian 1 Women of Science Fiction in the 1970s Introduction Science fiction is the genre of possibility, and is nearly boundless. The only limitation is that of what the reader and writer can imagine. What drew me to both science fiction, and this research is what draws many to science fiction: exploring new worlds, new ideas, new species, but importantly the depths of the human mind. Science fiction of the 1970s was transformative for the genre, as there was a distinct shift on who was writing best selling and award winning novels. Men had long dominated science fiction, especially during the “golden age,” but during the 1970s published science fiction novels by women gained the attention of those who loved the genre. Women such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Joanna Russ, Kate Wilhelm, and James Tiptree Jr. (Allison B. Sheldon), all wrote award winning science fiction, but their stories also challenged readers with themes of equality. The question then arises, why did so many female authors take to science fiction to express their messages of equality during the 1970s? Author Suzy McKee Charnas, author of The Holdfast Chronicles wrote of this in the Khatru Symposium: Women in Science Fiction: “instead of having to ‘twist’ reality in order to create ‘realistic’ female characters in today’s totally unfree society, the sf writer can create the societies that would produce those characters” (Charnas 4). The women of science fiction in the 1970s were responding to an issue in science fiction: women were not represented accurately in text, nor where they given the same chance as their male counterparts.

But if you contemplate a revolutionary movement, it becomes a dismal thing if it is not somehow tied to utopian dreams broader than itself. I confess, I contemplate with some apathy a world in which the greed and power have simply gone coed. I mean, bully for you, cheers and all that . but . (James Tiptree, Jr. to Joanna Russ, 16 September 1973) Description: In the words of author and linguist Suzette Haden Elgin, “SF is the only genre of literature in which it's possible for a writer to explore the question of what this world would be like if you could get rid of [X], where [X] is filled in with any of the multitude of real world facts that constrain and oppress women.” By and large barred from the physical sciences, science fiction has also provided a space for feminist writers to explore relationships with science, technology, and identity, unfettered by the sexist constraints of professions or institutions and outside the generic conventions of other types of fiction. In this course, we will be looking at feminist science fiction as a form of theory, as a strategy for thinking critically about the present and imagining “what this world would be like” under different circumstances.
