  • Posthumans and Democracy in Popular Culture
    Posthumans and Democracy in Popular Culture James J. Hughes PhD A version of this paper is forthcoming in Handbook of Posthumanism in Film and Television . Eds. Michael Hauskeller, Thomas D. Philbeck, Curtis Carbonell. Palgrave MacMillan. INTRODUCTION Harry Potter is an anti-racist freedom fighter both in fiction and in the real world. Throughout the Potter novels we are drawn to sympathize with oppressed racial minorities – elves, centaurs, werewolves, half-giants, mud-bloods – and to fear and despise fascist Deatheaters intent on exterminating all non-pure- bloods. (Barratt, 2012). The Potter narrative has had demonstrable social impact, reinforcing tolerance and democratic values in its readers. In Harry Potter and the Millennials (Gierzynski , 2013) Anthony Gierzynski pulls together multiple lines of evidence to argue that the generation of American youth that grew up identifying with Harry Potter’s struggles against racism and fascism have become more anti- racist and Democratic as a consequence. In an analysis of three studies of the effect of reading Harry Potter on political attitudes in the UK and Italy (Vezzali, et al., 2014) researchers concluded that the degree to which the readers identified with Potter was a predictor of the influence of the Potter narratives on readers’ empathy with immigrants, refugees and homosexuals. Popular culture both reflects and shapes political culture. The depiction of the posthuman in popular culture is therefore not only a running commentary on the political concerns of the time, with posthumans as stand-ins for everything from Communists to immigrants, but also a potent shaper of attitudes towards extant and future varieties of humanity.

  • 'Went the Day of the Daleks Well?' an Investigation Into the Role Of
    Tony Keen ‘Invasion narratives in British television Science Fiction’ ‘Went the Day of the Daleks well?’ An investigation into the role of invasion narratives in shaping 1950s and 1960s British television Science Fiction, as shown in Quater- mass, Doctor Who and UFO If the function of art is to hold a mirror up to society, then science fiction (sf), through the distorted reflection it offers, allows the examination of aspects of society that might otherwise be too uncomfortable to confront. This essay aims to look at how invasion narratives, stories concerned with the invasion of Britain from outside, shaped three British science fiction series, and how those series interro- gated the narratives. The series will primarily be examined through aesthetic and social ap- proaches. Particular areas to be explored include the embracing and subverting of common assumptions about Britain’s attitude to invasion, and the differing attitudes to the military displayed. Introduction As an island nation, the prospect of invasion has always occupied a prominent place in the British popular imagination. According to Sellar and Yeatman, the two memorable dates in history are 55 BC and 1066, the dates of the invasions of Julius Caesar and William the Con- queror.1 Subsequent events such as the Spanish Armada of 1588 are also well-known mo- ments in history. It is inevitable that the prospect of invasion should produce speculative literature. Some works appeared around the time of Napoleon’s threatened invasion of 1803,2 but ‘invasion literature’ as a literary genre emerged out of the growing market for novels and short-story magazines, and is generally considered to have begun with the appearance of George Tomp- kyns Chesney’s 1871 story ‘The Battle of Dorking’,3 a story of the German conquest of Eng- land, prompted by the German victory in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871.

  • OFF the TELLY/CHILDREN's FLYING NEAR the SUN March 2006 Rob Buckley on Codename: Icarus, and Adult Drama for Children
    OFF THE TELLY/CHILDREN'S FLYING NEAR THE SUN March 2006 Rob Buckley on Codename: Icarus, and adult drama for children For most of its history, children's television has been childish. Shows with simplistic plots and large casts of children have long dominated the afternoon schedules, with dreary adaptations of classic novels the only real exceptions. Yet during the 1970s, commissioners slowly began to experiment with more mature programming, bringing in adult themes in disguise through science−fiction and fantasy shows such as Ace of Wands, The Tomorrow People and Timeslip. Sapphire and Steel even went from being a show for children to a show for adults, through the simple exclusion of juvenile leads and child−friendly characters. By the late '70s and early '80s, this pushing of boundaries meant it was possible to have a programme on children's television that was firmly embedded in an adult genre, with mainly adult leads and adult dialogue, and for it still to be accepted as a children's show. Codename: Icarus, which aired on BBC1 in 1981, was the purest examples of this new breed of programme. Written by Richard Cooper, who had penned the fondly (but poorly) remembered Quest of Eagles for Tyne Tees a few years previously, Codename: Icarus is one of the only works in living memory that managed to mix children and the spy genre without resulting in disaster. The first of the main plot strands follows Martin Smith (Barry Angel), a pupil at a Northern comprehensive who appears at first to be the class clown.

  • Fantastika Journal
    FANTASTIKA JOURNAL Volume 4 • Issue 1 • July 2020 ISSN: 2514-8915 Fantastika Journal • Volume 4 • Issue 1 • July 2020 EDITOR’S NOTE “Fantastika” A term appropriated from a range of Slavonic languages by John Clute. It embraces the genres of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror, but can also include Alternate History, Gothic, Steampunk, Young Adult Dystopic Fiction, or any other radically imaginative narrative space. The goal of Fantastika Journal and its annual conference is to bring together academics and independent researchers who share an interest in this diverse range of fields with the aim of opening up new dialogues, productive controversies and collaborations. We invite articles examining all mediums and disciplines which concern the Fantastika genres. “Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am or why I say this. Sit down and I will tell you a tale like none you have ever heard.” (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, 2003) Time is traditionally seen as being linear; the progression of one moment to the next, a strict separation of past, present, and future based on sequential and causational relationships. Yet memory, imagination, day-dreaming, nostalgia, planning and many other routine processes blur the boundaries between them as temporal linearity appears to fold back upon itself. Certainly, we cannot avoid the reality that time conceptually propels us along in one direction, but it is simultaneously multidirectional and chaotic.

  • Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Tiffany Naiman 2017 © Copyright by Tiffany Naiman 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music by Tiffany Naiman Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robert W. Fink, Co-Chair Professor Raymond L. Knapp, Co-Chair This dissertation investigates musical expressions of temporal alterities in works created by popular music artists, identifying their aesthetic responses as their bodies become ill, disabled, and they become more aware of mortality. I propose a critical, hermeneutic, and theoretical method drawn from Edward Said’s appropriation of Adorno’s expression “late style” that I have designated ill style, a form of creativity within a temporality of illness. Late style is discernable in works produced, paradigmatically, at the end of one’s career in “old age,” but late style may also be understood as an influence on artistic output at any stage of life if the subject is experiencing untimeliness and a disruption in access to the communal understanding of futurity and time, a possible consequence of factors other than age. I contend that late style, accelerated by illness, disrupts Western cultural attempts at ignoring precarious and finite nature of existence; the resulting expressions of lateness ask audiences to do the same. I offer a way in which to think more critically about what scholars consider late style, how it functions in popular ii music studies and society, and how it intersects with the fields of disability, gender, queer, and critical race studies, and the social sciences.
