  • God and the Void
    Neocosmicism: God and the Void Ellen Greenham Bachelor of Arts in General Studies Graduate Diploma in Humanities with Honours (English) Master of Arts (English) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2013 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution ............................................................ Abstract Through the use of selected works by Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert and H.P. Lovecraft, this thesis explores the question of what it means to be human in the universe when occidental cosmologies no longer align with the universe they seek to describe. Within its view of the universe, H.P. Lovecraft’s philosophy of cosmicism offers the human creature an answer to this question, but in doing so also limits that creature to an isolated life ending in madness or death within an indifferently cold universe. While this thesis seeks to demonstrate the validity of cosmicism as a lens through which to critically interrogate science fiction texts; it more importantly endeavours to address cosmicism’s inherent limitations as a philosophy of the human creature’s place in the universe. This is done by developing neocosmicism as an outgrowth of cosmicism that offers an alternate experience of the universe and a revitalisation of the human creature’s relationship with the universe. By recognising the significant shift in the human creature’s understanding of the universe – from a Cartesian view to a Quantum view within a broader post-modern context – neocosmicism is developed as an interrogative philosophy that provides a framework for opening up a critical space in which to explore alternatives to modernity’s questions rather than offering mere reactions or polarising oppositions.

    OPEN SILENCE: AN APPLICATION OF THE PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY TO LITERARY CREATION by EDWARD A R LIVINGS Principal Supervisor: Professor John McLaren Secondary Supervisor: Mr Laurie Clancy A thesis submitted in complete fulfilment of the requirements for PhD, 2006. School of Communication, Culture and Languages Victoria University of Technology © Edward A R Livings, 2006 Above the senses are the objects of desire, above the objects of desire mind, above the mind intellect, above the intellect manifest nature. Above manifest nature the unmanifest seed, above the unmanifest seed, God. God is the goal; beyond Him nothing. From the Kāthak Branch of the Wedas (Katha-Upanishad)1 1 Shree Purohit Swāmi and W B Yeats, trans., The Ten Principal Upanishads (1937; London: Faber and Faber, 1985) 32. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to acknowledge the efforts of my supervisors Professor John McLaren and Laurie Clancy and those of John Jenkins, Jordie Albiston and Joanna Steer, all of whom contributed, directly or indirectly, to the production of this thesis and to whom I am most grateful. I hope the quality of the dissertation reflects the input of these people, who have so ably assisted in its production. Any faults found within the thesis are attributable to me only. 3 ABSTRACT Open Silence: An Application of the Perennial Philosophy to Literary Creation is a dissertation that combines a creative component, which is a long, narrative poem, with a framing essay that is an exegesis on the creative component. The poem, entitled The Silence Inside the World, tells the story of four characters, an albino woman in a coma, an immortal wizard, a dead painter, and an unborn soul, as they strive to comprehend the bizarre, dream-like realm in which they find themselves.

Reviewed by Simon Spiegel There seems to be a renewed critical interest in the works of Robert A. Heinlein. For quite some time, there have been few new publications on the first Grand Master of science fiction, but the last year has not only seen the publication of the book under consideration, but also that of the second and final volume of William Patterson’s massive (although too uncritical) biography. Additionally, there are currently at least two more books on Heinlein in the making. It is curious that so little work has been done in recent years on Heinlein, who is undoubtedly one of the (if not the) major figures of golden age sf, and who influenced the genre in its most formative period.

  • A Research Guide to the Fiction of Robert A. Heinlein
    The Man Who Sold the Future: A Research Guide to the Fiction of Robert A. Heinlein. Candace R. Benefiel College Station, TX March , 2001 1 2 Section One Introduction In the years between 1939 and 1969, Robert A. Heinlein was widely acknowledged to be the “Dean of American Science Fiction Writers.” Although styles and tastes in science fiction have changed over the years, Heinlein is still considered one of the foremost writers in the field, and many of his works are considered classics. Bibliography for Heinlein presents several challenges. The primary materials are often publications in “pulp” magazines and other popular periodicals. For many of these serials indexing is at best spotty, at worst, non-existant. Many of Heinlein’s novels were first published in serial form, then published as books under different titles. In some cases, the book versions were revised extensively. As many of the young adult novels were published just in time to take advantage of the Christmas buying season, one has to imagine the disappointment of children excitedly opening their new Heinlein book, only to find a story they had already read in Boy’s Life. Some of the short stories have been anthologized repeatedly; others remained uncollected for decades after their first appearances. Non-fiction essays and speeches pose yet another problem, one which the present guide sidesteps by focusing only on fiction. Citations for primary sources were drawn from the various bibliographies on Heinlein, including a bibliography which appeared as an appendix to Grumbles from the Grave, and Donald Day’s Index to the Science Fiction Magazines, 1926-1950 (Boston: Hall 1982).

  • Lazarus: Book 1 Free
    FREE LAZARUS: BOOK 1 PDF Michael Lark,Owen Freeman,Greg Rucka | 245 pages | 02 Dec 2014 | Image Comics | 9781632151834 | English | Fullerton, United States Lazarus of Bethany - Wikipedia I was lucky enough to attend a local comics reading night Lazarus: Book 1 in Portland last year, featuring a presentation by Greg Rucka on how he and artist Michael Lark developed the character of Lazarus for their new series of the same name. What surprised me was how much time they spent with the character before even having a story for her. My point in sharing this is to show how character-driven a series Lazarus is. But to say the story builds slowly is not to say the action does. Lazarus: Book 1 offers no flashbacks or blatant exposition. He trusts the Lazarus: Book 1 of his readers, which I like, and which works because 1. But never has a sunny day sometimes seemed so dark, in the hands and mind of Lark. Or not? Is he playing her? Above all, she just wants to be accepted. She, more than anybody, wants to be a part of, and loved by, her family, and yet is daily reminded of the ways she is not… The big question, the main question maybe, for all of us maybe, is at what point, or why, do we remain loyal to our families when they reject our different-ness? Rucka has written for just for all the big superheroes of both Marvel and DC. Seeing him work on his own project, through Image Comics, is a pleasure.
