Counterclock #1-25 COUNTERCLCK # 25 INTRODUCTIN CVER ART: I have been asked to be more explanatory in my Bojana Nariel Lubina (at SferaKon, Zagreb, Croatia) writing, to make it easier for first-time readers to get in a Winter Soldier costume from Marvel's Captain what I am writing about.

But then I talked to some dis- illusioned old BNF's aiming for quiet retirement from fannish affairs and I was feeling this sudden weari- ness myself. I knew it would come. I knew it would pass. I knew that even if I would say so, there would only be a limited time that I could shut up. My fingers would soon start itching again to write something. Though I would not have expected this itch to come so soon. Several factors have contributed to this. One being the amount of comments on the previous issue and another being the result of the FAAN- Awards from Corflu 33 in Chicago. And unlike the Worldcon HUGO's in which the fan- categories are routinely hijacked, these are results I can wholeheartedly agree with. My congratulations to the winners and in particular to those who I already am familiar with; Randy Byers, Andy Hooper, Graham Charnock, Bill Burns and Steve Stiles. Not being familiar with all of the winners shows only how much I still have left to learn. The Fan Activity Achievement (FAAn) awards are presented annually to honour the best in fan writing, drawing, publishing and posting. They are voted on by fanzine fans around the world and the results are now usually announced at Corflu. The 33rd edition of Corflu: CHIFLU was held in Chicago on May 13-15th, at the same time as the 40th Anniversary convention of the Croatian sf- Artwork by Arthur Thomson 1927-1990 club SFera was held in Zagreb. 2 COUNTERCLCK # 25 Best Genzine: a tie between Chunga, edited by The Doom of the AI:s Randy Byers, Andy Hooper and Carl Juarez and Raucous Caucus, edited by Pat Charnock by Rolf Strömgren Best Personal Zine: This text is dedicated to Criswell.

Many more things can be said about the 2015 FAAn - In October 2015, a computer Go program called Awards. My congratulations also to Bruce Gillespie, AlphaGo, powered by DeepMind, beat the European Melbourne, Australia, for his 3rd place in the genzine Go champion Fan Hui. This is the first time an AI category. His SF Commentary is indeed a worthy defeated a professional Go player. recipient of many votes. And congrats to Taral Wayne for a 'silver medal' in the category personal zines with Broken Toys. Here, to my own huge surprise I found CounterClock on an honourable 7th position. I doubt anyone has *ever* been as proud over a 7th place in this category as I am. Proud and happy. One has to see this in a perspective. I am not British and I am not American. I am not Australian. I am a European cosmopolitan, a Swedish citizen, living in Italy. English is my 3rd language. Even the shared 30th place as a fan-writer is already a huge honour. Only one point behind Curt Phillips, Christina Lake and Chuck Connor. I am absolutely delighted to have received any points at all in the category. Of course I am happy. Of course I can't quit doing CounterClock now. It is also not without a certain satisfaction that I can announce CounterClock #23 as third placed in the category Best Fanzine Cover. But the honour for that achievement must go to Tais Teng, who provided it. A little bit disappointing at first, was the 31st place for CounterClock #21 as best cover. I didn't feel it was so far behind #23. But considering how many covers there are in total, it's perhaps not so bad after all. Compare to 3rd and 31st in the list of 160 SF and Fantasy TV-series. It's still darn good!

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Representations and Discourse of Torture in Post 9/11 Television: an Ideological Critique of 24 and Battlestar Galactica
    REPRESENTATIONS AND DISCOURSE OF TORTURE IN POST 9/11 TELEVISION: AN IDEOLOGICAL CRITIQUE OF 24 AND BATTLSTAR GALACTICA Michael J. Lewis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2008 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin ii ABSTRACT Jeffrey Brown Advisor Through their representations of torture, 24 and Battlestar Galactica build on a wider political discourse. Although 24 began production on its first season several months before the terrorist attacks, the show has become a contested space where opinions about the war on terror and related political and military adventures are played out. The producers of Battlestar Galactica similarly use the space of television to raise questions and problematize issues of war. Together, these two television shows reference a long history of discussion of what role torture should play not just in times of war but also in a liberal democracy. This project seeks to understand the multiple ways that ideological discourses have played themselves out through representations of torture in these television programs. This project begins with a critique of the popular discourse of torture as it portrayed in the popular news media. Using an ideological critique and theories of televisual realism, I argue that complex representations of torture work to both challenge and reify dominant and hegemonic ideas about what torture is and what it does. This project also leverages post-structural analysis and critical gender theory as a way of understanding exactly what ideological messages the programs’ producers are trying to articulate.
