    Purdue University Purdue e-Pubs Libraries Research Publications 6-13-2006 The Reception of Danish Science Fiction in the United States Kristine J. Anderson Purdue University, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/lib_research Anderson, Kristine J., "The Reception of Danish Science Fiction in the United States" (2006). Libraries Research Publications. Paper 71. http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/lib_research/71 This document has been made available through Purdue e-Pubs, a service of the Purdue University Libraries. Please contact [email protected] for additional information. The Reception of Danish Science Fiction in the United States by Kristine J. Anderson Science fiction is a distinctly American genre. Although scholars have traced its origins back as far as the Latin writer Lucian of Samosata, 1 it was Hugo Gernsback, a publisher of pulp magazines in the United States, who first gave the genre its name in the June 1929 issue of Wonder Stories . Gernsback had been serializing the scientific romances of such writers as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, emphasizing their treatment of technology and putting them forth as models for other budding writers to imitate. The magazines that Gernsback initiated became very popular, spawning more from other publishers. Groups of aficionados sprang up around them, provided with a forum by Ge rnsback’s letters columns, where they happily exchanged opinions and found addresses with which to contact one another outside the magazine. In this way Gernsback also gave birth to science fiction fandom, which then went on to produce successful authors from its own ranks to write for all the science fiction magazines then pouring off the presses.

Several studies have shown that social scientists in Denmark tilt leftwards. In a 1995–96 survey only 7 percent of political scientists and 3 percent of sociologists said they had voted for (classical-)liberal or conservative parties, whereas support for socialist parties among the same groups were 51 percent and 78 percent. Lawyers and economists were more evenly split between left and right, but even there the left dominated: 31 percent and 25 percent for at least nominally free-market friendly parties and 38 percent and 36 percent for socialist parties.2 Very vocal free-market voices in academia have been rare. This marginalization of liberalism was not always the case. Denmark was among the first countries to see publication of a translation of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations (Smith 1779/1776; see Rae 1895, ch. 24; Kurrild-Klitgaard 1998; 2004).

Throughout the 19th century the emerging field of economics at the University of Copenhagen was visibly inspired not only by Smith and David Ricardo but also the “Manchester liberals” and French classical liberal economists Jean Baptiste Say and Frédéric Bastiat, of whose works timely translations were made. The university had professors of economics who today would be termed classical liberals, e.g., Oluf Christian Olufsen (1764–1827), Christian G.

  • A Short History of Organised Peace Work
    Goliath v David: A Short History of the Fight Against Organised Peace Work “Hermann Göring described, during an interview at the Nuremberg Trials, how denouncing and outlawing pacifism was an important part of the Nazis' seizure of power: "The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the paci- fists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." “The United States was founded with a militia tradition of citizen-sol- diers.”1 “As the Seven Years’ War stretched into 1758, an “unknown Gentleman” in Pennsylvania censured surrounding Quaker communities for failing to raise pro- vincial “Troops in … a Time [of] inevitable destruction.” Arguing that pacifist policies proved dangerous in times of war, the author claimed that if natives at- tacked the undefended colony Quakers would “be[come] accessary [sic] to the Murders of their Wives and Children.”2 “The basic authority of a modern state over its people resides in its war powers... On a day-to-day basis, it is represented by the institution of police, armed organiz- ations charged expressly with dealing with "internal enemies" in a military man- ner. Like the conventional "external" military, the police are also substantially ex- empt from many civilian legal restraints on their social behaviour. In some coun- tries, the artificial distinction between police and other military forces does not ex- ist. On the long-term basis, a government's emergency war powers - inherent in the structure of even the most libertarian of nations - define the most significant aspect of the relation between state and citizen.”3 “In addition, peace movements worldwide have to face charges of being un- patriotic, of undermining the troops, even of assisting the enemy”.

    The Book Out of Bounds - Essays Presented to Lars Ole Sauerberg The Book Out of Bounds It is becoming increasingly likely that from the perspective of a not too distant future the period Essays Presented to Lars Ole Sauerberg from the late Renaissance to the beginning of the 21st century will be seen as dominated and even defined by the cultural significance of print – not least in the form of the mass-produced book which is virtually synonymous with Western culture. It accordingly seems appropriate to designate this period, roughly corresponding to the half-mil- lennium from 1500 to 2000, “the Gutenberg Pa- renthesis”.
