  • PEENEMUENDE, NATIONAL SOCIALISM, and the V-2 MISSILE, 1924-1945 Michael

    PEENEMUENDE, NATIONAL SOCIALISM, and the V-2 MISSILE, 1924-1945 Michael

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ENGINEERING CONSENT: PEENEMUENDE, NATIONAL SOCIALISM, AND THE V-2 MISSILE, 1924-1945 Michael Brian Petersen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Jeffrey Herf Departmen t of History This dissertation is the story of the German scientists and engineers who developed, tested, and produced the V-2 missile, the world’s first liquid -fueled ballistic missile. It examines the social, political, and cultural roots of the prog ram in the Weimar Republic, the professional world of the Peenemünde missile base, and the results of the specialists’ decision to use concentration camp slave labor to produce the missile. Previous studies of this subject have been the domain of either of sensationalistic journalists or the unabashed admirers of the German missile pioneers. Only rarely have historians ventured into this area of inquiry, fruitfully examining the history of the German missile program from the top down while noting its admi nistrative battles and technical development. However, this work has been done at the expense of a detailed examination of the mid and lower -level employees who formed the backbone of the research and production effort. This work addresses that shortcomi ng by investigating the daily lives of these employees and the social, cultural, and political environment in which they existed. It focuses on the key questions of dedication, motivation, and criminality in the Nazi regime by asking “How did Nazi authori ties in charge of the missile program enlist the support of their employees in their effort?” “How did their work translate into political consent for the regime?” “How did these employees come to view slave labor as a viable option for completing their work?” This study is informed by traditions in European intellectual and social history while borrowing from different methods of sociology and anthropology.

  • Tintin and the Adventure of Transformative and Critical Fandom

    Tintin and the Adventure of Transformative and Critical Fandom

    . Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 Tintin and the adventure of transformative and critical fandom Tem Frank Andersen & Thessa Jensen, Aalborg University, Denmark Abstract: Using Roland Barthes’ and John Fiske’s notion of the readerly, writerly, and producerly text, this article provides an analysis and a tentative categorization of chosen transformative, fanmade texts for the comic book series The Adventures of Tintin. The focus is on the critical transformation of, and engagement with, the original text by academics, professional fans, and fans of popular culture. The analysis identifies different ways of transformational engagement with the original text: ranging from the academic writerly approach of researchers, over professional fans rewriting and critically engaging with the original text, to fanfiction fans reproducing heteroromantic tropes in homoerotic stories, fans of popular culture using Tintin figurines to document their own travels, and finally, fans who use Tintin covers as a way to express critical political sentiments. With Barthes and Fiske these groups are defined by their way of approaching the original text, thus working either in a readerly producerly or writerly producerly way, depending on how critical and political the producerly attitude is in regard to the original text. Keywords: The Adventures of Tintin, fan albums, fanfiction, fan communities; readerly, writerly, producerly reception Introduction In recent years, it has been quiet around the forever young reporter Tintin and his faithful friends Snowy and Captain Haddock. A motion capture movie about three of Tintin’s adventures failed to garner a larger following, despite having Steven Spielberg as the director (The Adventures of Tintin, Columbia Pictures, 2011).
  • Will ETI Contact Put an End to Our World's Religions? by Ted Peters

    Will ETI Contact Put an End to Our World's Religions? by Ted Peters

    2011 MUFON Symposium “ET Contact: Implications for Science and Society” Will ETI Contact Put an End to our World’s Religions? by Ted Peters Abstract: What will happen to Earth’s religions once we’ve made contact with an extraterrestrial civilization? Will confirmation of ETI cause terrestrial religion to collapse? “No” is the answer based upon a summary of the “Peters ETI Religious Crisis Survey.” “No” is also the prevailing--though not the only—answer we get from theologians, who for the most part welcome their space neighbors. Religious believers are much more ready to share a pew with an alien than we might expect. In addition to institutionalized religions, this paper will also look at the religious dimension to culture, especially at the ETI Myth, shared by SETI astrobiologists, UFO researchers, and the wider culture. The ETI Myth along with the UFO Myth speculate that evolutionary progress has led extraterrestrial civilizations to higher intelligence, better science, and more advanced spirituality and morality. This means ET could redeem Earth from its penchant for warfare and self-destruction. This belief is a myth whether it is held by scientists or religious believers or both. Ted Peters teaches systematic theology at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. He co-edits the journal, Theology and Science, at the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences. He is a former Louisiana State Director for MUFON. He has recently served as consultant to NASA and SETI on the ethics of planetary protection. He is the author of UFOs—GOD’s Chariots? Flying Saucers in Politics.

It was one of the first series to appear in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Tintin inand was subsequently published in book form by Les Editions du Lombard. The main antagonist is their sworn enemy, Colonel Olrik, who has appeared in almost every book. Their confrontations take them into the realms of detective investigation and science-fictiondealing with such themes as time travel, Atlantis and espionage. Since the death of Jacobs, new books have been published by two separate teams of artists and writers. A television series based upon the series was produced inentitled Blake and Mortimer. The books by Jacobs himself are generally set in the very period of their writing, but those authored by others after his Blake & Mortimer: The Septimus Wave are set mostly in the s and s. When Tintin magazine was launched on 26 Septemberit included the story, Le secret de l'Espadon The Secret of the Swordfish which introduced the characters of Captain Francis Blake of the British Intelligence Service, his friend Professor Philip Mortimer, a leading physicist, and their sworn enemy Colonel Olrik. After Jacobs' death inBob de Moor completed his unfinished last story. Fromthe Jacobs estatecentred on the still-operating Jacobs Studios, republished all of Jacobs' works.

  • Ancient Astronaut« Narrations

    Ancient Astronaut« Narrations

    Marburg Journal of Religion: Volume 11, No. 1 (June 2006) »Ancient Astronaut« Narrations A Popular Discourse on Our Religious Past1 Andreas Grünschloß Abstract: In their typical explanatory and unveiling gesture, the narrations about Ancient Astronauts have become a popular myth about our religious past. Nowadays, these narrations are often contained in a specific genre of literature on the alternative bookshelves, and a gigantic theme park in Interlaken (“Mystery Park”) is staging some of its basic ideas. This Ancient Astronaut discourse owes much to Swiss-born Erich von Däniken, to be sure, but it can be traced back to the earlier impact of Charles Fort and his iconoclastic books about “damned data” – anomalistic sightings and findings which an ignorant science deliberately seemed to “exclude”. Since then, the “Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence in Ancient Times” (Paleo-SETI or PSETI) has become a popular “research” subject, leading not only to various publications in many languages of the world, but also to lay-research organizations and conventions. – The paper tries to identify the major themes, motivations and argumentative strategies in the Ancient Astronauts discourse, as well as its typical oscillation between an ‘alternative science’ and manifest esotericism. With its ‘neo-mythic’ activity (ufological Euhemerism, re-enchantment of heaven, foundation myth for modernity, etc.), it resembles a secular and ‘ufological’ parallel to creationism, displaying a strong belief in the ‘hidden’ truth of the religious traditions.

Abbate, Co-Chair Shannon A. Brown, Co-Chair Lee L. Zwanziger Paul D. Renard March 24, 2015 Falls Church, Virginia Keywords: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, SETI, Actor Network Theory, Social Construction of Technology, Rational Choice Theory of Religion, Transhumanism, Xenosalvation Copyright John M. Bozeman Searching for SETI: The Social Construction of Aliens and the Quest for a Technological Mythos John M. Bozeman ABSTRACT This dissertation uses Actor Network Theory (ANT) and Stark and Bainbridge’s rational choice theory of religion to analyze an established but controversial branch of science and technology, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Of particular interest are the cultural, and sometimes religious, assumptions that its creators have built into it. The purpose of this analysis is not to discredit SETI, but instead to show how SETI, along with other avant-garde scientific projects, is founded, motivated, and propelled by many of the same types of values and visions for the future that motivate the founders of religious groups. I further argue that the utopian zeal found in SETI and similar movements is not aberrant, but instead common, and perhaps necessary, in many early- stage projects, whether technical or spiritual, which lack a clear near-term commercial or social benefit.

    UFO Religion: Inside Flying Saucer Cults and Culture

    UFO 01 prelims.fm Page i Tuesday, May 29, 2007 9:48 AM ‘UFO Religion is a delightful story about an idea, one that preys upon the emotions and excites the imagination of each and every one of us. From its humble origins in the airship mysteries of nineteenth- century liars’ clubs and newspaper hoaxes, Gregory Reece chronicles the notion of alien spacecraft and visitors from outer space as this has evolved and been elevated into an article of faith for the bizarre host of conspiracy theorists, utopian dreamers, alleged abductees and contactees we find in our midst today. Reece’s vision is a refreshing and humorous reminder that no matter how whimsical their origins and rationales might seem, our strangest ideas can take on lives of their own through their primal grip on our hopes, fears, and dreams. In Reece’s world, UFOs and alien visitors are every bit the children of our minds as they are children of the stars. They emerge as a most serious – yet entertaining – subject of human concern.’ David Beisecker, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Nevada, Las Vegas ‘Greg Reece’s UFO Religion engagingly captures that sense of mystery and wonder that drives ufologists to undertake their research. The book is a thorough and impressive analysis of UFO investigations and of supposed alien encounters. In an entertaining and readable style, Reece guides the reader through a maze of possibility and makes many intriguing links between science and religion en route. UFO Religion is an important book for anyone who is interested in the idea that our planet has hosted extraterrestrial visitors: or in what Carl Gustav Jung called “flying saucer cults”.’ Susan J.

The German Rocket, Jet, and Nuclear Programs of World War II By Max Lutze * * * * * * * * * Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of History UNION COLLEGE March, 2016 2 Abstract German military technology in World War II was among the best of the major warring powers and in many cases it was the groundwork for postwar innovations that permanently changed global warfare. Three of the most important projects undertaken, which were not only German initiatives and therefore perhaps among the most valuable programs for both the major Axis and Allied nations, include the rocket, jet, and nuclear programs. In Germany, each of these technologies was given different levels of attention and met with varying degrees of success in their development and application.
