  • Alternate History – Alternate Memory: Counterfactual Literature in the Context of German Normalization
    ALTERNATE HISTORY – ALTERNATE MEMORY: COUNTERFACTUAL LITERATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF GERMAN NORMALIZATION by GUIDO SCHENKEL M.A., Freie Universität Berlin, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (German Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Guido Schenkel, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a variety of Alternate Histories of the Third Reich from the perspective of memory theory. The term ‘Alternate History’ describes a genre of literature that presents fictional accounts of historical developments which deviate from the known course of hi story. These allohistorical narratives are inherently presentist, meaning that their central question of “What If?” can harness the repertoire of collective memory in order to act as both a reflection of and a commentary on contemporary social and political conditions. Moreover, Alternate Histories can act as a form of counter-memory insofar as the counterfactual mode can be used to highlight marginalized historical events. This study investigates a specific manifestation of this process. Contrasted with American and British examples, the primary focus is the analysis of the discursive functions of German-language counterfactual literature in the context of German normalization. The category of normalization connects a variety of commemorative trends in postwar Germany aimed at overcoming the legacy of National Socialism and re-formulating a positive German national identity. The central hypothesis is that Alternate Histories can perform a unique task in this particular discursive setting. In the context of German normalization, counterfactual stories of the history of the Third Reich are capable of functioning as alternate memories, meaning that they effectively replace the memory of real events with fantasies that are better suited to serve as exculpatory narratives for the German collective.

  • 1: for Me, It Was Personal Names with Too Many of the Letter "Q"
    1: For me, it was personal names with too many of the letter "q", "z", or "x". With apostrophes. Big indicator of "call a rabbit a smeerp"; and generally, a given name turns up on page 1... 2: Large scale conspiracies over large time scales that remain secret and don't fall apart. (This is not *explicitly* limited to SF, but appears more often in branded-cyberpunk than one would hope for a subgenre borne out of Bruce Sterling being politically realistic in a zine.) Pretty much *any* form of large-scale space travel. Low earth orbit, not so much; but, human beings in tin cans going to other planets within the solar system is an expensive multi-year endevour that is unlikely to be done on a more regular basis than people went back and forth between Europe and the americas prior to steam ships. Forget about interstellar travel. Any variation on the old chestnut of "robots/ais can't be emotional/creative". On the one hand, this is realistic because human beings have a tendency for othering other races with beliefs and assumptions that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny (see, for instance, the relatively common belief in pre-1850 US that black people literally couldn't feel pain). On the other hand, we're nowhere near AGI right now and it's already obvious to everyone with even limited experience that AI can be creative (nothing is more creative than a PRNG) and emotional (since emotions are the least complex and most mechanical part of human experience and thus are easy to simulate).

It was a terrific nightmare vision and instantly I added the name of Murray Leinster to the list that already held A. Merritt, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and a few others. I have been reading and admiring his stories ever since, and I hope they go on forever. Mr. Leinster is a professional, in the finest sense of the word, meaning that he has the skills of his profession at his fingertips. And his profession is that of a master story-teller. His stories take hold of you from the first page and build with a sheer craftmanship and econ­ omy of effort that are the envy and despair of anyone who has ever tried to do the same thing. In science-fiction, imagination is even more important than writ­ ing skill, and the boldness of his imaginative concepts is one big rea­ son why Murray Leinster’s name has been up there in the bright lights for so long.

  • Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History Prior to the Establishment of the Vermont Constitution
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY FOR THE YEARS 1921, 1922 AND 1923 CAPI TAL C ITY PRESS MONTPE LIER, VT. 192 4 Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History Prior to the Establishment of the Vermont Constitution A PAPER READ BEFORE THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT WINDSOR IN THE OLD CONSTITUTION HOUSE SEPTEMBER 4, 1822 By Henry Steele Wardner Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History To be invited to address you in this, my native town and still my home, and in this, the most notable of Vermont's historic buildings, gives me real pleasure. That pleasure is the greater because of my belief that through the neglect of some of Vermont's historians as well as through the enter­ prise of others who, like myself, have had their own towns or group of individuals to serve and honor, the place of Windsor in Vermont's written history is not what the town deserves and because your invitation gives me an opportunity to show some forgotten parts of Windsor's claim to historic impor­ tance. Today I shall not describe the three celebrated conven­ tions held in this town in 1777, the first of which gave to the State its name, while the second and third created the State and gave to it its corporate existence and its first constitution; nor shall I touch upon the first session of Vermont's legislature held here in 1778, although upon these several events mainly hangs Windsor's fame as far as printed history is concerned. Nor shall I dwell upon Windsor as the first town of Vermont in culture and social life through the last decade of the eigh­ teenth century and the first quarter of the nineteenth, nor yet upon the extraordinary influence which the early artisans and inventors of this town have had upon industries in various parts of the world.

I heavily disagree with opening this closed area to bottom trawling. Closure areas were put in place to protect spawning grounds; Jeffrey's ledge is still a spawning area and should always remain closed. As someone who has lobstered in this area for over 8 years, I continuously see spawning groundfish in my traps and I am extremely concerned that opening this area will deplete the resource. lfthe resource is to recover, several things need to happen: Known spawning grounds need to be protected and remain so permanently. Secondly, over-efficient and in discriminatory means of catching ground fish need to be put in check and phased out. Lastly, the industry needs to be run from a scientific standpoint, not a political or economic one. The Gulf of Maine groundfish industry has serious underlying problems. Opening a closed area to fishing is not a solution these problems, it's essentially putting a Band-Aid on a gushing wound and it will not help. Allowing boats to tow in an area that's been closed for the last fifteen years might allow them to make extra money for a few weeks or months but it won't be before all the progress that has been made by closing the area becomes undone.

  • Alternate History
    Alternate History "What if?" What if Germany and Japan had won World War II instead of the Allied Forces? What if the South had won the Civil War, instead of the North? What would history have been like and, perhaps more importantly, what would our world be like today? These are the kinds of questions that works of Alternate History address and that have intrigued such masters of speculative fiction as Isaac Asimov, Ben Bova, Philip K. Dick, Harry Turtledove, and a host of others. Sometimes complex but always imagination teasing, the titles in this category have intrinsic appeal not only to science fiction readers but also to fans of fantasy and historical fiction. -- Michael Cart, Contributing Editor, Young Adult Fiction. Alternate history would change our world but what if alternate worlds already exist on some dimension parallel to our own? This is another theme similar to alternate history which uses an explainable, non-magical means of moving from one world to another. Worlds that may have been similar to ours in their distant history are included. Some tales are set so far in the future that the setting is more like alternate worlds than the worlds in hard science fiction. Exploring “what if” can lead you to almost anywhere or any time! John Birmingham. Weapons of Choice. 2004. In this American debut of an Australian non-fiction author, a combination of time travel, alternate history and military science fiction focus on the year 2021 with a United nations military force gathered in the Pacific to end ethnic cleansing by an Islamic fundamentalist regime in Indonesia.
