Perceptions of Religion from Star Wars and Star Trek Abstract Hollywood films and eligionr have an ongoing rocky relationship, especially in the realm of science fiction. A brief comparison study of the two giants of mainstream sci-fi, Star Wars and Star Trek reveals the differing attitudes toward religion expressed in the genre. Star Trek presents an evolving perspective, from critical secular humanism to begrudging personalized faith, while Star Wars presents an ambiguous mythological foundation for mystical experience that is in more ways universal. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss2/3 Schultes: Any Gods Out There? Science Fiction has come of age in the 21st century. From its humble beginnings, "Sci- Fi" has been used to express the desires and dreams of those generations who looked up at the stars and imagined life on other planets and space travel, those who actually saw the beginning of the space age, and those who still dare to imagine a universe with wonders beyond what we have today.

  • 2017-18Annual Report
    2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT Library Services FROM THE DEAN Welcome to the 2017-18 Library Services annual report. In the following pages you will learn about the many noteworthy achievements and activities of Booth Library during the past academic year. As always, during the past twelve months our librarians, staff, and student assistants sought to make the library an essential part of the EIU experience and contribute to the academic success of our undergraduate and graduate students. To that end, existing services were improved; new services were implemented; electronic and print materials were added to the collection; the website was regularly updated; close partnerships were pursued with the EIU faculty, students, and campus organizations; and the library continued to adapt and innovate in the ever-evolving technological environment of academic libraries. During the year, the library planned and completed an exciting furniture and computer refresh project to revitalize our space and add more collaborative learning areas that will meet the needs of the students. The library continued to engage the campus community in scholarly discussions by presenting two major exhibitions: Twenty Years of Harry Potter: Celebrating a Phenomenon in the fall semester and Designs of Duty in the spring semester. In the fall we will examine the historic flu pandemic in The Flu Then and Now: 1918 to 2018. Next spring we will mark the 50th anniversary of the moon landing with On the Shoulders of Giants: The Moon Landing and Beyond. Find out more about these exhibitions and other library events and services by visiting the library website and following us on Facebook and Twitter.

    NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO ARTS AND PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS By Frederica Kushner Definition and Scope For those who may be more familiar with commercial than with non-commercial radio and television, it may help to know that National Public Radio (NPR) is a non­ commercial radio network funded in major part through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and through its member stations. NPR is not the direct recipient of government funds. Its staff are not government employees. NPR produces programming of its own and also uses programming supplied by member stations; by other non­ commercial networks outside the U.S., such as the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC); by independent producers, and occasionally by commercial networks. The NPR offices and studios are located on M Street in Washington, D.C. Programming is distributed via satellite. The radio programs included in the following listing are "arts and performance." These programs were produced or distributed by the Arts Programming Department of NPR. The majority of the other programming produced by NPR comes from the News and Information Department. The names of the departments may change from time to time, but there always has been a dichotomy between news and arts programs. This introduction is not the proper place for a detailed history of National Public Radio, thus further explanation of the structure of the network can be dispensed with here. What does interest us are the varied types of programming under the arts and performance umbrella. They include jazz festivals recorded live, orchestra concerts from Europe as well as the U.S., drama of all sorts, folk music concerts, bluegrass, chamber music, radio game shows, interviews with authors and composers, choral music, programs illustrating the history of jazz, of popular music, of gospel music, and much, much more.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The Arts of Amnesia: The aC se for Audio Drama, Part Two Abstract This article examines what the relationship between audio drama and radio drama might illuminate about both forms. Drawing on some 40 podcasts and other audio forms that take a serial structure, I explore the rise of audio drama podcasts since 2015 and situate them in both a more recent historical context since the late 1990s and in a broader history stretching back to the first Golden Age of radio. By listening closely to key works on Serendipity, Homecoming and other podcasts, I argue that contemporary audio has profound potential to change both how we listen and how we relate to the sound media of the past.
