Qapla’! CONFERENCES, conferences, conferences! So much of what we do as scholars, students, and researchers seems to begin with or culminate in a conference; a bringing together of people for dialogue. Whether it’s within a panel, during the Q&A, or over the drinks that so often follow, I’ve often found that many of best ideas as well as my warmest acquaintances come from these meetings. I’m just back from one of the biggest American Studies conferences outside the US, the European Association of American Studies, hosted this year by the British AAS, where it seems as though more and more scholars from outside the world of sf are twigging onto the fact that, well, frankly, we rock. We’ve known this all along of course. During this conference, I had the great pleasure not only of joining forces with numerous long-standing SFRAers but of attending an entire array of sf-related panels, often in the guise of a ‘regular’ panel, a video games and virtual environments, science and reflective roundtable, even a keynote. These were on detectives, afro-futurism, folk music, and on and on andeco-imaginings, on.

When keeping the views of American society of the 1960s in mind, The Original Series and ​ The Animated Series had main characters, secondary characters, and supporting roles that alternated between defying traditional views of gender and race in society of that era.

  • Disability, Literature, Genre: Representation and Affect in Contemporary Fiction REPRESENTATIONS: H E a LT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE and SOCIETY
    Disability, Literature, Genre: Representation and Affect in Contemporary Fiction REPRESENTATIONS: H E A LT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE AND SOCIETY Series Editor Stuart Murray, University of Leeds Robert McRuer, George Washington University This series provides a ground-breaking and innovative selection of titles that showcase the newest interdisciplinary research on the cultural representations of health and disability in the contemporary social world. Bringing together both subjects and working methods from literary studies, film and cultural studies, medicine and sociology, ‘Representations’ is scholarly and accessible, addressed to researchers across a number of academic disciplines, and prac- titioners and members of the public with interests in issues of public health. The key term in the series will be representations. Public interest in ques- tions of health and disability has never been stronger, and as a consequence cultural forms across a range of media currently produce a never-ending stream of narratives and images that both reflect this interest and generate its forms. The crucial value of the series is that it brings the skilled study of cultural narratives and images to bear on such contemporary medical concerns. It offers and responds to new research paradigms that advance understanding at a scholarly level of the interaction between medicine, culture and society; it also has a strong commitment to public concerns surrounding such issues, and maintains a tone and point of address that seek to engage a general audience.

Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The Zinariya left in the genetic code of the tribe a living organism which allows them even centuries later to communicate with each other in their minds. She spends the next few days pacing and crying, trying not to think about how security at Oomza Uni will blow up the ship. In the first novella, Binti witnesses the slaughter of all of her new classmates. We learn more about the Himba culture: how women must go on a pilgrimage as a rite of initiation into adulthood and how strongly Binti feels the call to undertake it; how inward-looking the Himba community can be; the living legends they believe in like the Night Masquerade, a creature of dried sticks, raffia, leaves and wood, and how by seeing it, something that only men are said to be able to do, Binti once again represents a break from tradition. She is an associate professor of creative writing and literature at the University at Buffalo. Meanwhile, the war between the Meduse and the Khoush erupts, with Binti's family caught in the middle.
