Crafting Women’s Narratives The Material Impact of Twenty-First Century Romance Fiction on Contemporary Steampunk Dress Shannon Marie Rollins A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Art) at The University of Edinburgh Edinburgh College of Art, School of Art September 2019 Rollins i ABSTRACT Science fiction author K.W. Jeter coined the term ‘steampunk’ in his 1987 letter to the editor of Locus magazine, using it to encompass the burgeoning literary trend of madcap ‘gonzo’-historical Victorian adventure novels. Since this watershed moment, steampunk has outgrown its original context to become a multimedia field of production including art, fashion, Do-It-Yourself projects, role-playing games, film, case-modified technology, convention culture, and cosplay alongside science fiction. And as steampunk creativity diversifies, the link between its material cultures and fiction becomes more nuanced; where the subculture began as an extension of the text in the 1990s, now it is the culture that redefines the fiction.

    STEAM POWERED GIRAFFE SAMPLE TECH RIDER 2019 This tech rider is a sample and should be used as a rough example of the show’s needs.. ​ A final tech rider would be tailored to your event, as local, out-of-state, or out of country shows all have different requirements. SUMMARY OF NEEDS: - Round-Trip Air Travel for Seven (7) (Dependent on event location) ​ ​ - Performance Fee (Amount dependent on event location) ​ ​ - Hotel Stay for the Duration ​ - Fulfillment of Tech Rider ​ Note: The band can also do a “travel buyout” depending on your event’s needs STAGE MANAGEMENT: Personnel: A stage manager (SM) should be present when we arrive and our tech director begins to set up the stage. The SM should have full knowledge of the theatre (or immediate access to said information), including power capabilities, audio tie-in locations, safety protocols, and scheduling. LIGHTING: Personnel: A lighting technician will be required to operate lights during the show. If a lighting designer can be provided during the planning stages of the show, please put them in contact with our tech director (contact info at the end of the rider). Rig: The show is very theatrical, and as such, a professional-quality lighting rig that is suitable to the venue should be used. Note: Specific lighting cue lists exist for our in-house rig, ​ ​ which consists of 11 colorblast TRX units and 2 Martin Mac Aura units. AUDIO: Personnel: We travel with our own sound engineer who handles our setup and mixes our show. He will interface with any technical staff at the venue to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

    Welcome to META CON! Dear attendees, exhibitors, members of the press, and space-aliens: I am very excited to welcome you to Meta Con 2013, the Minneapolis Comic, Anime, Sci-Fi, and Gam- ing Convention! In our second year, we are already expecting 2,000+ fans to join us to celebrate our mutual geekiness. We call it, “Nerd Life”TM. Meta Con is our chance to blend together all kinds of fandoms, with more added every year by way of new guest stars and special events. This year we’re very excited to welcome Billy West, the voice of Fry, The Professor, Zoidberg, and Zapp Brannigan in Futurama, as well as Eric Roberts, who played The Fourth Master in Dr. Who, and Sal Maroni in The Dark Knight, and is, coincidentally, the brother of Julia Roberts. We at AnimeCon.org love and understand anime above all else*, so we’re also very excited to bring you some epic anime voice actors, including Sonny Strait, Chuck Huber, and Chris Patton. And we have several stars from a show we all watched when growing up, Power Rangers. Stop by one of their panels or get an autograph from them to meet Jason Faunt, Nakia Burrise, Michael Copon, and Erin Cahill. A lot of panels, events, and our costumes, will be fairly anime and video game oriented, as that’s what we know and love. We’re always interested in including new fandoms, so we already want to hear from you your suggestions for next year’s guests and panels. And while we think of this year, I’d like to send a huge thank-you in advance to all the staff who are volunteering to make this convention weekend possible.
