However, it is not just the geographical diversity of our field that we celebrate tonight – it’s the diversity within fandom.

No conventions in October, which is rare these days, but there was the Steampunk Fortnight on Tor.com. They had some seriously good stuff, including writing from Diana Vick, who also appears in these pages, and myself! There was a great piece from Nisi Shawl that mentioned the amazing panel that she, Liz Gorinsky, Michael Swanwick and Ann VanderMeer were on at World Fantasy last year. Jaymee Goh had a piece on Commodification and Post-Modernism that was well-written, though slightly troubling to me. Stephen Hunt’s Steampunk Timeline was good stuff, and the omnipresent GD Falksen (who has never written for us!) had a couple of good piece. Me? I wrote an article about how Tomorrowland was the signpost for the rise of Steampunk. You can read it at http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/10/goodbye-tomorrow- hello-yesterday. The second piece is all about an amusement park called Gaslight in New Orleans. I’ll let you decide about that one - http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/10/gaslight- amusement. The final one all about The Cleveland Steamers. This much attention is a good thing for Steampunk, especially from a site like Tor.com, a gateway for a lot of SF readers who aren’t necessarily a part of fandom.

  • Serious Shenanigans the New Space Opera and Social
    SERIOUS SHENANIGANS THE NEW SPACE OPERA AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY: AN ANALYSIS OF IAIN M. BANKS’S SURFACE DETAIL AND THE HYDROGEN SONATA AND ANN LECKIE’S IMPERIAL RADCH TRILOGY. Marloes de Vogel 3865878 RMA Comparative Literary Studies Supervisor dr. Barnita Bagchi Second Reader dr. Monica Janssen August 2018 1 Abstract This thesis contributes to research on the genre of space opera. Space opera is generally considered the least sophisticated form of science fiction, and remains underrepresented in scholarly research. Yet, a considerable part of the greatest science fiction published over the past three decades has been space opera. Specifically, it has been New Space Opera (NSO), a renewed, innovative form of space opera that arose during the second half of the 1980s. The NSO uses space opera’s core elements of adventure and conflict to both entertain and address serious contemporary social, political, and economic issues. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the NSO is an exceptionally suitable form to provide social commentary. I will show that the NSO is an innovation of the Classic Space Opera (CSO) in terms of both form and content, that the critical and satirical space operas written during the 1960s and 1970s aided this innovation, and that the perceived unsophisticated and clichéd nature of the Classic Space Opera (CSO) actually encouraged the development of the NSO. Furthermore, through a close-reading analysis of US-American author Ann Leckie’s Imperial Radch trilogy (2013-2015) and Scottish author Iain M. Banks’ Culture novels Surface Detail (2010) and The Hydrogen Sonata (2012), which are typical examples of NSO novels, I will analyze how the narrative strategies of estrangement, defamiliarization, affect, and the novum, which are integral to the speculative and imaginative nature of space opera, are employed to provide social commentary on topics such as the oppression and dehumanization of cultural others, and on issues of identity and subjectivity formation.

  • Read the Balticon 46 Pocket Program
    Note to Parents Anime Parents, please be advised that there are a lim- ited number of movies in the Anime Progam which are appropriate for children under 12. Please take note of the ratings listed next to the movies. A document explaining the ratings will be posted on the Anime Room Door. Parents are strongly encouraged to take these ratings as a guide for what might or might not be inappropriate for their children to watch. In general, children under 14 should not be in the Anime Room room between 10 PM and 5 AM, but everything in the middle of the day should be ok for ages 14 and up. Children under 13 should be accompanied by a parent or guard- ian. We recommend that parents of teens sit and view a portion of an “MA” rated movie to decide if it is something they want their teen to view. Film Festival All of the entries being screened in the film festival up to 9:30 pm are what the selection committee estimated would be considered “G” or “PG” if they were rated. Entries screening after 9:40 pm range from estimated “G” to “R” rated, thus some movies screening after 9:40 pm may not be appropriate for children under 17 who are not accompanied by a par- ent or guardian.
