That the antics of lunatics can provide some unusual theatrical ef· fects was recently demonstrated in a play by Peter Weiss ("Marat/ Sade")-a play based on the fact that the inmates of Charenton Asylum did perform "therapeutic" theatrical entertainments (in the early 1800's) which were, in fact, devised and directed by the notori­ ous Marquis De Sade (himself an inmate). This story is about the creation of a most unusual play. The props are mysterious; the play­ wright is an enigmatic genius, apparently a contemporary Sade; and, although the players are not lunatics, neither are they exactly "nor­ mar (producing an effect more powerful, because more involving). The result is John Brunner's brand-new novel--an impressive ood inventive science fiction thriller.

  • JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
    JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.

  • Baudrillard's Bastards: 'Pataphysics After the Orgy
    SEMIOPHAGY: JOURNAL OF PATAPHYSICS VOL. III, WINTER, 2010 AND EXISTENTIAL SEMIOTICS Baudrillard’s Bastards: ’Pataphysics After the Orgy – Some Lessons for Journalists Peter Hulm Most thinkers write badly because they tell us not only their thoughts but also the thinking of the thoughts. – Nietzsche (1878), Human, All Too Human, Aphorism 188. The Invisible Philosopher Let’s start with the ‘pataphysian himself: • The consumer “no more ‘believes' in advertising than the child believes in Father Christmas, but this in no way impedes his capacity to embrace an internalized infantile situation, and to act accordingly” (1968/2005:182). • “Information is directly destructive of meaning and signification” (1981b/1994:79). • “The Gulf War did not take place” (1991/1995). 1 SEMIOPHAGY: JOURNAL OF PATAPHYSICS VOL. III, WINTER, 2010 AND EXISTENTIAL SEMIOTICS From his earliest writings Jean Baudrillard has been a media provocateur of such Nietzschean brilliance that it has blinded many theorists to the depth and originality of his critique of the news business and television in the DisInformation Age. In addition to smarting at his accurate and aphoristic barbs about current affairs production, mainstream media feels even stronger resentment at his dismissal of the industry’s claims to be a major force in shaping public consciousness. For Baudrillard, scientific jargon, Wall Street, disaster movies and pornography have deeper impact on our imaginations than the news industry. Television and written media, he wrote in 1970, have become narcotic and tranquilizing for consumers in their daily servings of scary news and celebrity fantasies. Only 9/11, he later declared with his usual withering acerbity, has been able to break through the non- event barrier erected by media to the world (2001).1 To recognize the accuracy of Baudrillard’s daily observations, therefore, it is no surprise that we need to turn to a financial statistician, Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

One of the greatest single-panel cartoonists ever. For decades, his work appeared in The New Yorker and Playboy. And it is impossible to miss—completely distinctive. [Music fades out.] Dark, strange, full of monsters and aliens and pirates. Grotesquery. There’s a kind of perverse joy in laughing at, say, when a guy’s been turned into a giant shrimp and his wife asks if now he’ll finally see a doctor. I talked with Gahan Wilson in 2010—almost a decade ago. I recorded a show in my apartment in Korea Town, here, in Los Angeles. And he breezed through full of absolute vibrance. Even then, he was in his 80’s. [Music fades in.] It’s still one of my favorites.
