The Wall of Lies #130 The Wall of Lies Number 130 Newsletter established 1991, club formed June first 1980 The newsletter of the South Australian Doctor Who Fan Club Inc., also known as SFSA STATE Adelaide, May--June 2011 WEATHER: Midgard Free James Morrison a butt, no surprises by staff writers Beloved Australian jazz musician and celebrity receives dues. A live audience was treated to a spectacle during taping of the ABC music quiz program Spicks and Specks. After stopping the show to fiddle with his instrument and performing on his trumpet, James Morrison rounded on the other guests, accusing them of “... not looking very impressed!” Fellow guest Colin Lane interjected ”Try playing it with your backside. Play it with your backside and it’ll impress us.” This sequence was edited out for broadcast. O After taping Lane was unrepentant for his sugges- ut t N No (Pictured): James Morrison, and tion. “Anyway, if James did play the trumpet with his ow !

Showing remarkable confidence in their product, the producers of Doctor Chameleon Factor # 80 Who have separated the 2011 series into two lots separated by six months. This has been received without significant negative comment by fandom, O u S t much as the 2009 gap year. In 1985-6 the show was out of production for 18 So on months, leading to worldwide condemnation, a Live Aid style charity single n! (Doctor In Distress) and a clandestine war on the BBC by its then producer. “I am not sure that this years transmission pattern is the blueprint for future years. They may well return to 13 consecutive weeks in 2012,” said Brendan Dahill, Channel Controller for ABC1. “I can tell you that the first Sunday encore screening attracted 226,000 viewers -- so you can safety say the new series is reaching over a million viewers each week.” The BBC is also pleased at the show’s performance: “The show is rating well in its new Saturday night home and has so far consistently won its slot.” SFSA magazine # 28 .

  • Organizing Images of Futures-Past: Remembering the Apollo Moon Landings
    Draft pre-publication version of Goodings, L., Brown, S.D., & Parker, M. (2013) Organizing images of futures-past: Remembering the Apollo Moon Landings. International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy, forthcoming. Organizing images of futures-past: Remembering the Apollo Moon Landings Lewis Goodings, University of Roehampton, London Steven D. Brown, University of Leicester Martin Parker, University of Leicester Abstract Organizational Memory Studies (OMS) has begun to consider the ways in which organizations construct versions of their own history. These histories have a broader significance through the ways they resource and are contested within cultural memory. In this paper we discuss the way that the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) constituted both its own past and future significance through the remediation and premediation of key images of the Apollo space programme. Drawing on visitor feedback from an exhibition in the National Space Centre in the UK, we identify three distinct narratives through which personal recollections of the Apollo landings are related espoused historical significance – ‘my generation’, ‘watching the landings’ and ‘remembering the future’. The images of the Apollo landings are a site of contestation where nostalgia for the supposed future that NASA sought to premediate is mixed with acknowledgement of the failure of that future to materialise. Key words: Organizational Memory Studies; Cultural Memory; Social remembering; Remediation; Premediation; NASA; Thematic Analysis

  • On the Social Impact of the Apollo 8 Earthrise Photo, Or the Lack of It?1
    On the social impact of the Apollo 8 Earthrise photo, or the lack of it?1 Fred Spier Senior Lecturer Big History emeritus, University of Amsterdam Summary In this article, the various forms of contemporary news reports are explored of the Apollo 8 Earthrise pictures and whole Earth images photographed by the astronauts. Already during this flight to the Moon, that took place at the end of December of 1968, remarkable differences in perceptions, emotions, and interpretations emerged between the United States and Western Europe and, more likely than not, the rest of the world as well, con- cerning the Earth and humanity’s place on it. Furthermore, it appears that within both continents a considerable portion of the population was hardly affected by these pictures, if at all. These differences in perceptions have evolved over the past fifty years, while many of them continue to exist today. All of this will be examined in some detail with emphasis on what happened during and right after the flight of Apollo 8. Correspondence | Fred Spier, [email protected] Citation | Spier, F. (2019) On the social impact of the Apollo 8 Earthrise photo, or the lack of it? Journal of Big History, III(3); 157 - 189.

  • Y Susana Ridao Rodrigo
    RECOPILACIÓN BIBLIOGRÁFICA SOBRE INMIGRACIÓN Y 1 COMUNICACIÓN Susana Ridao Rodrigo Universidad de Almería (PROYECTO ALDIMA) PRESENTACIÓN Este trabajo incluye más de 7000 referencias bibliográficas relacionadas con los procesos migratorios. El contenido se irá actualizando semestralmente, coincidiendo con la aparición de los volúmenes correspondientes de la revista filológica Tonos digital, editada por la Universidad de Murcia. Nuestros objetivos se han centrado fundamentalmente en el apartado de Inmigración y comunicación, pero, debido al cada vez más intenso desarrollo de los estudios interdisciplinarios, hemos creído oportuno incluir la sección de Aspectos generales, en donde recogemos trabajos realizados desde muy diversas perspectivas. Con respecto al apartado de Inmigración y comunicación hemos de señalar que es mucho más extenso que el anterior, ocupando aproximadamente un 80% de este trabajo. Lo hemos estructurado en tres grandes ejes: Aspectos lingüísticos, Discurso y Discurso artístico. Concretamente en el apartado de Discurso hemos de señalar que la magnífica página web de Teun A. van Dijk, www.discourse- in-society.org, nos ha sido de gran ayuda. De otro lado, las bases de datos e Internet han sido las dos fuentes principales de captación de estos trabajos. Del mismo modo, queremos señalar que en muy contadas ocasiones se repiten referencias bibiográficas en dos apartados distintos; hemos intentado evitar esta circunstancia, aunque en ocasiones nos ha resultado necesaria para evitar sesgos innecesarios. ÍNDICE 1. ASPECTOS GENERALES 1.1. ANTROPOLOGÍA 1.2. ECONOMÍA 1.3. GEOGRAFÍA 1.3.1. ÁFRICA 1.3.2. AMÉRICA 1.3.3. ASIA 1.3.4. EUROPA 1.3.5.

When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
