Il s'agit pourtant Myers, pour la toute première fois, en décembre 1882, dans d’une piste innovante et féconde pour comprendre les un compte-rendu de la Society for Psychical Research de transformations de l’art au XXe siècle. Inédite en son genre, Londres, quand l’étude de la psychologie se frotte à l’essor l’exposition Cosa mentale propose de relire l’histoire de l’art des télécommunications : « Tout cas d’impression reçue à de 1880 à nos jours, à travers la fascination des artistes pour distance sans l’aide des organes sensibles reconnus. » Des une transmission directe et non conventionnelle de la pensée tentatives de « photographie de la pensée » vers 1895 aux et des émotions. premiers « encéphalogrammes » en 1924 (l’année de la parution du Manifeste du Surréalisme), c’est l’activité même Sous cet angle, le projet de l’avant-garde est moins de du cerveau qui se donne à voir en toute transparence et pousse défaire le grand mensonge de la peinture (en finir avec les artistes à abattre les conventions de la représentation en l’illusionnisme du trompe-l’œil et les artifices conventionnels supprimant toute contrainte de traduction. de la représentation) que d’inventer une nouvelle relation, immédiate, entre l’artiste et le spectateur. Suivant un parcours Loin de rester une obscure fantaisie paranormale, la télépathie chronologique allant du symbolisme à l’art conceptuel, ne cesse d’intriguer et de subjuguer les artistes tout au long l’exposition réunit une centaine d’œuvres d’artistes majeurs, du XXe siècle.

Elle rejoint, en cela, un langagiers habituels. des enjeux poétiques de la modernité : la performance des échanges. Omniprésente dans l’univers de la science-fiction, L’exposition permet de comprendre comment, tout au elle refait surface dans l’art psychédélique et conceptuel long du XXe siècle, les tentatives pour matérialiser et des années 1960-70, avant de resurgir aujourd’hui dans des rendre visibles les processus de la pensée coïncident pratiques contemporaines envoûtées par les technologies de avec les expérimentations des avant-gardes artistiques. la « connaissance partagée » et l’essor des neurosciences.

  • Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Robert Silverberg (October 2019)
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Robert Silverberg (October 2019) Robert Silverberg is a many-time winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards, was named to the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 1999, and in 2004 was designated as a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. His books and stories have been translated into forty languages. Among his best known titles are Nightwings, Dying Inside, the Book of Skulls, and the three volumes of the Majipoor Cycle: Lord Valentine’s Castle, Majipoor Chronicles, and Valentine Pontifex. Andrew ten Broek: Do you read stories through another eye when you're in the role of the editor, than when you would when you go through your own story or that of a befriended author? As an editor, I looked for stories that I wish I had written myself. Those were easy choices. Even easier to buy were stories that I wish I COULD have written, but probably wasn’t capable of doing. Mike Garber: A few brief comments on Tower of Glass, please. I don’t have anything specific to say. I wrote that novel about fifty years ago and what I remember is mainly that I liked it while I was doing it. Alan Ziebarth: When did you start reading science fiction? And who were your favorite science fiction authors when you began reading science fiction? I first encountered science fiction about 1946, with TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and THE TIME MACHINE. I discovered the s-f magazines in 1948. My early favorite writers were Henry Kuttner (especially under his Lewis Padgett pseudonym), A.E.

Approximately 1870 people attended. The Convention Centre was certainly sufficient for the convention--overcrowding was not a problem. It was a bit diffuse, however, with a very long walk from the Green Room to the panel rooms, and the bid tables, site selection, and cafe somewhat hidden around a corner. I think they planned to have the rooms open at the other end, onto that area, and then discovered that they could not. The Centre was directly connected to our hotel, which turned out to be useful, because there were escalators in the Convention Centre from ground level to the lobby level, while in the hotel, one had to climb a full flight of stairs to get in.

  • Robert Silverberg Market Paperback Companies, and I’Ve Known and Dealt with Virtually Every Editor Who Other Spaces, Other Times Played a Role in That Evolution
    $29.95 “IN THE COURSE of my six decades of writing, I’ve witnessed the transition of science- other times other spaces, fiction publishing from being a pulp-magazine-centered field to one dominated by mass- Robert Silverberg market paperback companies, and I’ve known and dealt with virtually every editor who other spaces, other times played a role in that evolution. For much of that time I was close to the center of the field as writer and sometimes as editor, not only deeply involved in its commercial mutations but also privy to all the personal and professional gossip that it generated.All that special knowledge has left me with a sense of my responsibility to the field’s historians. I was there, I did this and did that, I worked with this great editor and that one, I knew all but a handful of the major writers on a first-name basis, and all of that will be lost if I don’t make some sort of record of it.Therefore it behooves me to set down an account of those experiences for those who will find them of value.” — From Silverberg’s introduction ROBERT SILVERBERG is one of the most important American science fiction writers of the 20th century. He rose to prominence during the 1950s at the end the pulp era and the dawning of a more sophisticated kind of science fiction. One of the most prolif- ic of writers, early on he would routinely crank out a story a day. By the late 1960s he was one of the small group of writers using science fiction as an art form and turning out award-winning stories and novels.
