    THE SURVIVAL and MUTATION of Utoi

    PHOENIX RENEWED: THE SURVIVAL AND MUTATION OF UTOi’IAN THOUGHT IN NORTH AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION, 1965—1982 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR TEE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY HODA MOUKHTAR ZAKI DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ATLANTA, GEORGIA DECEMBER 1984 ABS TRACT POLITICAL SCIENCE ZAKI, H01P4 MOURHIAR B.A. , American University in Cairo, 1971 N.A., Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia, 1974 Phoenix Renewed: The Survival and_Mutation_of Utopian Thought in ~urth American Science Fiction, 1965—1982 Adviser: Dr. Alex Hillingham The&is d~tei Decenber, 1984 This dissertation is concerned with the status of utoni en in rwdcra timas. As such it is concerned with a historic problem ir pci tial :hearv, i.e., how to visualize a perfect human community. Since the turn of the 20th century, we have seen a decline in utopian ~i tera.ture. A variety of commentators, including Mannhein: and Mumford, noted and decried this trend. It seemed ironic to those observers that utopia~s demise would occur when humanity was closest to realizing material abundance for all. My research evaluates this irony. The primary data of my work are drawn from the genre of science fiction. The new locus for utopian thought seems natural enough. Science fiction is a speculative activity and, in its emphasis on science and technology, concerns itself with an area of human activity that has been intimately connected with the idea of progress since the European Enlightenment. A number of scholars including Mumford, Sargent, Suvin, and Williams, have asserted that contemporary utopian thought could be found in science fiction.

    Vail Daily column Musically Speaking on New York Philharmonic’s Thirteenth Residency at Bravo! Vail by Sandra Pearson, Assistant Principal Librarian, New York Philharmonic An orchestra's season has a certain flow to it. When we finish our winter season, the shirt sleeves get shorter, and our summer festival wardroBe is donned. Our thoughts also turn towards a change of scenery that takes us from the concrete confines of New York to the pine-scented fresh mountain air of Colorado. Along with the other orchestras who get to enjoy a summer season such as Blossom or Tanglewood, we too get to enjoy our summer residency hiking and making music in the Beautiful surroundings of the Rocky Mountains. We are happy to once again Be sharing music By some our greatest composers with our enthusiastic audiences in the Vail Valley. We enjoy our collaBoration with the amicaBle and witty Bramwell Tovey, and judging from past audience reactions, so do our fans in Vail. The first program on July 24th showcases the pianist Jon Kimura Parker playing Edvard Grieg's classic Piano Concerto in A minor. This concert will also showcase the suBliminal overture to Fingal's Cave By Felix Mendelssohn and Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations. Maestro Tovey's second program on July 26th features Bravo! Vail's artistic director and talented pianist Anne-Marie McDermott playing Rachmaninoff's romantic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Balancing out the rest of the program are Le Corsair Overture By Berlioz, The Emperor Waltzes by Johann Strauss, Jr., and the prismatic Suite from Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss.

  • A Pictoral History of the Boston Music Hall and the Great Organ

    A Pictoral History of the Boston Music Hall and the Great Organ

    A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE BOSTON MUSIC HALL AND THE GREAT ORGAN by Ed Sampson, President, Methuen Memorial Music Hall, Inc. 2018 Few instruments in the history of pipe organs in America have had as long, or as distinguished, a career as the Boston Music Hall Organ. The first concert organ in the country, it remains today one of the outstanding organs in America. The need for a large and centrally-located concert hall for Boston was discussed at the annual meeting of the Harvard Musical Association, founded in 1837 (Henry White Pickering (1811-1898), President) on January 31, 1851. A "Music Hall Committee", comprised of members Robert East Apthorp (1812-1882), George Derby (1819-1874), John Sullivan Dwight (1813-1893), Charles Callahan Perkins (1822-1886), and Dr. Jabez Baxter Upham (1820- 1902), was appointed to address the matter. The Boston Music Hall was built in 1852 by the Boston Music-Hall Association, founded in 1851 (Jabez Baxter Upham, President) and by the Harvard Musical Association, that contributed $100,000 towards its construction. It stood in the center of a block that sloped downward from Tremont Street to Washington Street; and was between Winter Street on the south and Bromfield Street on the north. Almost entirely surrounded by other buildings, only glimpses of the hall's massive granite block foundation and plain brick walls could be seen. There were two entrances to the Music Hall: the Bumstead Place entrance, (named after Thomas Bumstead (1740-1828) a Boston coachmaker), off Tremont Street (later Hamilton Place) opposite the Park Street Church; 1 and the Central Place or Winter Place (later Music Hall Place) entrance off Winter Street.
