  • July 15, 2000 SEEING EAR THEATRE JMS' First Audio Drama for The
    July 15, 2000 SEEING EAR THEATRE JMS' first audio drama for the Seeing Ear Theatre premiered on Monday night. "The Damned Are Playing at Godzilla's Tonight" - featuring Steve Buscemi launched a 13-week series by JMS of 30 minute dramas at the Sci-Fi Channel’s website. "Rolling Thunder" - featuring Andre Braugher will be available next week.at http://www.scifi.com/set. The dramas are very much like the original radio format and I think you will enjoy the story. You'll need Real Audio loaded to listen. KEEPING UP WITH CAST AND CREW In the latest issue of TV Zone, we get our first glimpse of Marjean Holden in her new role as Atrina on "Beastmaster". We won't be seeing her episodes for a while, but she says "My character is a bit of a bad girl." Quite a change from her role as Dr. Chambers in Crusade. Ranger Bridgitte reports that: Goran Gajic (married to Mira Furlan and director of episodes like "All My Dreams Torn Asunder") recently directed an episode of "OZ", the awarding-winning prison drama produced by Levinson/Fontana. Goran's episode titled, "The Bill Of Wrongs" premieres on Wednesday July 26 on HBO. The episode will be shown several times throughout the week. A schedule of times is posted at: http://mirafurlan.simplenet.com/ozschedule.html GROUP PROJECT As Babylon 5 approaches it's premiere date on the Sci-Fi Channel of September 25, I wonder what resources we could make available to NEW Babylon 5 fans! When the show was on the air, there was a very active on-line community, the Official B5 magazine came out to provide us with information to digest and enjoy, the series would turn up in publications so that we could read about our favorite characters/actors.

  • Norwescon 36 Post-Con Report 2014
    January Norwescon 36 Post-Con Report 2014 GOOD BYE NWC 36, HELLO NWC 37! As we wrap up Norwescon 36, I can only tell you how I feel. It was my first Norwescon as Chairman and I was nervous going into the con, but I can say with absolute conviction that we had a great con. The Norwescon ConCom is the hardest working group of volunteers that anyone could ask for. Both the execs that Brad and I had the honor of hand-picking and their staff worked hard and put on an excellent convention for everyone. It seems too little to just say, “thank you” for your hard work. We wouldn’t be the con we are without all of you. The chairman oversees everything, but there are some departments that are directly under the Chair. They are: Guest of Honor Banquet, charitable events, elections, Google administration, info manager, Phillip K. Dick Event, and EMP liaison. I had a great staff in charge of these and I want to thank them all for their dedicated work. Inside this issue: Ali Grieve picked a fabulous meal and put together the Guest of Honor Banquet on Thursday. People really liked the option to pick which Guest of Honor (GoH) they Art Show Report 2 sat with. Every GoH spoke and we gave them plaques to commemorate their time at Norwescon 36. We also had representatives from our charities speak. Phillip Buff Art Show Awards 3 was in charge of charitable events and he did a super job arranging for them to be at the dinner.

  • American Science Fiction and the Politics of Masculinity, 1965
    Making the Men of Tomorrow: American Science Fiction and the Politics of Masculinity, 1965 – 1974 By Jason Bruce James Bourget A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in English Language and Literature in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada Final submission November, 2016 Copyright © Jason Bruce James Bourget, 2016 Abstract Suggesting that the political diversity of American science fiction during the 1960s and early 1970s constitutes a response to the dominance of social liberalism throughout the 1940s and 1950s, I argue in Making the Men of Tomorrow that the development of new hegemonic masculinities in science fiction is a consequence of political speculation. Focusing on four representative and influential texts from the 1960s and early 1970s, Philip K. Dick’s The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch and Ubik, Robert A. Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, and Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed, this thesis explores the relationship between different conceptions of hegemonic masculinity and three separate but related political ideologies: the social ethic, market libertarianism, and socialist libertarianism. In the first two chapters in which I discuss Dick’s novels, I argue that Dick interrogates organizational masculinity as part of a larger project that suggests the inevitable infeasibility of both the social ethic and its predecessor, social liberalism. In the next chapter, I shift my attention to Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress as a way of showing how, unlike Dick, other authors of the 1960s and early 1970s sought to move beyond social liberalism by imagining how new political ideologies, in this case market libertarianism, might change the way men see themselves.
