    Pulp-related books and periodicals available from Mike Chomko for May and June 2019 Dianne and I had a wonderful time in Chicago, attending the Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention in April. It’s a fine show that you should try to attend. Upcoming conventions include Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains, Texas on June 7 – 8, and the Edgar Rice Burroughs Chain of Friendship, planned for the weekend of June 13 – 15. It will take place in Oakbrook, Illinois. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there will be a spring edition of Ray Walsh’s Classicon. Currently, William Patrick Maynard and I are writing about the programming that will be featured at PulpFest 2019. We’ll be posting about the panels and presentations through June 10. On June 17, we’ll write about this year’s author signings, something new we’re planning for the convention. Check things out at www.pulpfest.com. Laurie Powers biography of LOVE STORY MAGAZINE editor Daisy Bacon is currently scheduled for release around the end of 2019. I will be carrying this book. It’s entitled QUEEN OF THE PULPS. Please reserve your copy today. Recently, I was contacted about carrying the Armchair Fiction line of books. I’ve contacted the publisher and will certainly be able to stock their books. Founded in 2011, they are dedicated to the restoration of classic genre fiction. Their forté is early science fiction, but they also publish mystery, horror, and westerns. They have a strong line of lost race novels. Their books are illustrated with art from the pulps and such.

  • Technological Singularity
    TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY BY VERNOR VINGE The original version of this article was presented at the VISION-21 Symposium sponsored by NASA Lewis Research Center and the Ohio Aerospace Institute, March 30-31, 1993. It appeared in the winter 1993 Whole Earth Review --Vernor Vinge Except for these annotations (and the correction of a few typographical errors), I have tried not to make any changes in this reprinting of the 1993 WER essay. --Vernor Vinge, January 2003 1. What Is The Singularity? The acceleration of technological progress has been the central feature of this century. We are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. The precise cause of this change is the imminent creation by technology of entities with greater-than-human intelligence. Science may achieve this breakthrough by several means (and this is another reason for having confidence that the event will occur): * Computers that are awake and superhumanly intelligent may be developed. (To date, there has been much controversy as to whether we can create human equivalence in a machine. But if the answer is yes, then there is little doubt that more intelligent beings can be constructed shortly thereafter.) * Large computer networks (and their associated users) may wake up as superhumanly intelligent entities. * Computer/human interfaces may become so intimate that users may reasonably be considered superhumanly intelligent. * Biological science may provide means to improve natural human intellect. The first three possibilities depend on improvements in computer hardware. Actually, the fourth possibility also depends on improvements in computer hardware, although in an indirect way.

It has been accepted for inclusion in English Dissertations by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. TEACHING SPECULATIVE FICTION IN COLLEGE: A PEDAGOGY FOR MAKING ENGLISH STUDIES RELEVANT by JAMES HAMMOND SHIMKUS Under the Direction of Dr. Elizabeth Burmester ABSTRACT Speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) has steadily gained popularity both in culture and as a subject for study in college. While many helpful resources on teaching a particular genre or teaching particular texts within a genre exist, college teachers who have not previously taught science fiction, fantasy, or horror will benefit from a broader pedagogical overview of speculative fiction, and that is what this resource provides. Teachers who have previously taught speculative fiction may also benefit from the selection of alternative texts presented here. This resource includes an argument for the consideration of more speculative fiction in college English classes, whether in composition, literature, or creative writing, as well as overviews of the main theoretical discussions and definitions of each genre.

  • Memory and Narrative: Reading the Things They Carried for Psyche and Persona Frank Hassebrock and Brenda Boyle, Denison University
    Memory and Narrative: Reading The Things They Carried for Psyche and Persona Frank Hassebrock and Brenda Boyle, Denison University Abstract: This essay looks closely at how two disciplines, Psychology and English, can use the same text for similar purposes. A Psychology professor discusses how Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried can exemplify for his students how memory is used to construct a self, a psyche. A teacher of literature then examines how the same text demonstrates for students the rhetorical construction of a fictional self, a persona, and also how that construction is influenced by the various historical periods represented in the novel's stories. Through the investigation of these two disciplinary approaches, students in our classes gain an appreciation for the psychological functions of remembering and the rhetorical functions of reading. People select and interpret certain memories as self-defining, providing them with privileged status in the life story… . To a certain degree, then, identity is a product of choice. We choose the events we consider most important for defining who we are and providing our lives with some semblance of unity and purpose. And we endow them with symbolism, lessons learned, integrative themes, and other personal meaning that make sense to us in the present as we survey the past and anticipate the future. (McAdams, 2004, p. 104) A rhetoric incorporates more than practical strategies for speaking and writing. Rhetoric reflects the values and perspectives of a culture. It is a distillation of what a given society counts as knowledge and evidence, how it defines social connections and responsibilities, the context in which communicative acts will be interpreted.

  • Jerey Allen Tucker the Necessity of Models, of Alternatives: Samuel R
    Je!rey Allen Tucker The Necessity of Models, of Alternatives: Samuel R. Delany’s Stars in My Pocket like Grains of Sand “Boy loses world, boy meets boy, boy loses boy, boy saves world” In Reading by Starlight: Postmodern Science Fiction, Damien Broderick provides the %rst thorough analysis of Samuel R. Delany’s last sci- ence %ction novel, Stars in My Pocket like Grains of Sand (1984). He notes that despite—or perhaps, as a result of—its conceptual accomplishments, the novel’s plot is “scant indeed.”& The prologue, “A World Apart,” is set on the planet Rhyonon and tells the story of Rat Korga, an illiterate nineteen-year-old male who undergoes a loboto- mizing procedure known as Radical Anxiety Termination (RAT), after which he is sold to do the menial work and su'er the degradations of a porter at a polar research station. Suddenly, all life on the surface of Rhyonon is eradicated by %re. The mechanics, purpose, and attribution of this planetwide holocaust are never fully explained to the reader; one possibility is that Rhyonon experi- enced a phenomenon called Cultural Fugue that was triggered either locally or by a mysterious and threatening alien race known as the Xlv. Most of the rest of the novel is organized under the title “Monologues” and is narrated by Marq South Atlantic Quarterly 109!2, Spring 2010 "#$ 10.1215/00382876-2009-034 © 2010 Duke University Press 250 Je!rey Allen Tucker Dyeth, an aristocratic “industrial diplomat” whose job frequently requires him to leave his homeworld o( Velm to travel across the galaxy, interact- ing with its myriad peoples and their cultures.
