Each story in the anthology tells a different part of the same world’s history, from the colonization project to its settlement to its tragic losses. The prologue provides a key to the whole book, serving as an introduction to the fictitious encyclopedia and textbook entries which accompany each short story. Editors’ biographies: Robert E.

Dr. Hampson is a Professor of Physiology / Pharmacology and Neurology with over thirty-five years’ experience in animal neuroscience and human neurology. His professional work includes more than one hundred peer-reviewed research articles ranging from the pharmacology of memory to the first report of a “neural prosthetic” to restore human memory using the brain’s own neural codes.

In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

  • Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk
    Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk at the Turn of the Twenty-first Century Carlen Lavigne McGill University, Montréal Department of Art History and Communication Studies February 2008 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Studies © Carlen Lavigne 2008 2 Abstract This study analyzes works of cyberpunk literature written between 1981 and 2005, and positions women’s cyberpunk as part of a larger cultural discussion of feminist issues. It traces the origins of the genre, reviews critical reactions, and subsequently outlines the ways in which women’s cyberpunk altered genre conventions in order to advance specifically feminist points of view. Novels are examined within their historical contexts; their content is compared to broader trends and controversies within contemporary feminism, and their themes are revealed to be visible reflections of feminist discourse at the end of the twentieth century. The study will ultimately make a case for the treatment of feminist cyberpunk as a unique vehicle for the examination of contemporary women’s issues, and for the analysis of feminist science fiction as a complex source of political ideas. Cette étude fait l’analyse d’ouvrages de littérature cyberpunk écrits entre 1981 et 2005, et situe la littérature féminine cyberpunk dans le contexte d’une discussion culturelle plus vaste des questions féministes. Elle établit les origines du genre, analyse les réactions culturelles et, par la suite, donne un aperçu des différentes manières dont la littérature féminine cyberpunk a transformé les usages du genre afin de promouvoir en particulier le point de vue féministe.

    Welcome Thatch Durbin (Chair, Clockwork Alchemy) When I got involved in the local steampunk community six years ago, I never imagined that I would stand on the brink of a third year as Chair of Clockwork Alchemy. Yet, here I am, and I stand in amazement at what has been accomplished by the efforts of so many in the steampunk community. Working so closely with so many has been enlightening and I find that as Clockwork Alchemy changes and grows it mirrors the lives of those who volunteer so much of their time to make it happen. As we grow and change we hope to embody the spirit and hope that are steampunk. We invite you to partake in these while continuing to enjoy all that you have come to love about Clockwork Alchemy. We have taken over the onsite Club this year for Friday night’s Cabaret and various events and lessons throughout the rest of the weekend. Other changes this year will include having two live bands at Emperor Norton’s Ball, live jam sessions with the musical guests, a full-blown fashion show, an expanded Artist’s Gallery, a larger room with new sets for The Alchemist Tea Parlour, the expansion of the Martial Arts track into a larger space (now dubbed The War Room), and a myriad of new fixtures and sets to inspire and entertain. With this year’s theme, Alternate Empires, we hoped to embody some of the diversity and the creative culture of the steampunk community. We are honored to be joined this year by many creative and talented individuals.
