  • The Greyfriar by Clay & Susan Griffith
    THE DOMINION DISPATCH VOL. 1 ISS. 3 PAGE 2 wELCOME BACK! Welcome to Issue 3 of the Dominion Dispatch! It's been a very busy winter so far, with Steampunk Canada making appearances at a number of conventions and events, and planning for the Canadian National Steampunk Exhibition picking up a healthy head of steam. This issue sees a continuation in the trend towards more and more book reviews, which is helped by free review copies from Pyr/Prometheus Books. Pyr, you have our deepest thanks. We are also always looking for reviews of other media, such as music and movies, so please don't hesitate to send them in! Has your group recently had an event of some sort? Send us your photos! Let's show the rest of the world how Canada does “Steampunk” from the west coast to the east. All submissions can be sent to [email protected] cheers, Adam Smith Dominion Dispatch editor-in-chief P.S. Apologies if it appears that this issue of the Dispatch was assembled in a linear fashion... it was. I'm still wrestling with an open source word processor rather than a real desktop publishing program, and it doesn't always behave! So sadly, the double column format was sacrificed for expediency. With luck it will be back next issue. HAND-HEWN NEWS FROM THE NORTH THE DOMINION DISPATCH VOL. 1 ISS. 3 PAGE 3 submission guidelines The Dominion Dispatch is the official newsletter for Steampunk Canada (http://www.steampunkcanada.ca/). We are interested in publishing articles of interest to our Canadian Steampunk audience, and we'll read everything sent to us! However, there are some important considerations to keep in mind: •While we would consider a large multi-page submission or serialization, it would have to be of exceptional quality.

Alice Zou, [email protected] 669 Shaw St. Toronto Inter‐Continental Hotel Toronto, ON 220 Bloor Street West, Suite 325 M6G 3L8 Ph: 416‐960‐5200 Office: 416‐536‐1696 Cell 213‐359‐5775 [email protected] SYNOPSIS As the ‘60s rolled to a close, the United States was at the threshold of a turbulent time in history. President Nixon was in the White House and the U.S. was at war in Vietnam. The image of the picture‐perfect, stay‐at‐home housewife with the ideal husband and family was being threatened. Forces of change—a sexual revolution, the use of hallucinogenic drugs and a new founded challenge to authority—had crept into family rooms and dinning table conversations. Raised in a traditional Christian family, Perry leads a sheltered life, always doing what is expected of him. He has a wonderful virgin Christian girlfriend, Dorothy. He attends church with his family on Sundays and enjoys family dinners. He is following a career path that will prevent him from being drafted to fight in Vietnam. As a chemist he is book smart and company driven, but doesn’t know the harsh realities of the world. Everything he believes in is challenged the day he is chosen to be a jury member in a hippie death cult murder trial, where the defendant on trial is a strikingly beautiful woman named Leslie.

  • Liminal Identity in Contemporary American Television Science Fiction
    Liminal Identity in Contemporary American Television Science Fiction Rhys Owain Thomas Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Film, Television and Media Studies University of East Anglia August 2014 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Rhys Owain Thomas Student Number 4566211 Film (Research) R1W62012 Abstract This thesis examines the foregrounding of a particular type of liminal human protagonist in contemporary American television Science Fiction. These protagonists, which I have termed the ‘unliving,’ exist in-between the realms of life and death, simultaneously both alive and dead whilst occupying an indistinct middle- ground. I examine how the liminal nature of these protagonists has been used as a means of exploring various aspects of personal identity during the early years of the twenty-first century. Developing anthropologist Victor Witter Turner’s work, in which he argued for the universal occurrence of liminality in cultural, political, economic and social contexts, I argue that the use of liminal protagonists in American television Science Fiction constitutes a demonstrable trend. Although they are to be found in ever-increasing numbers in (and outside) the genre, their growing presence and significance have yet to be properly discerned, studied and appreciated. I analyse the use of these unliving protagonists in four key texts: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (The Halcyon Company/Warner Bros.

  • Werribee Open Range Zoo (A)
    CASE PROGRAM 2011-76.1 Werribee Open Range Zoo (A) In April 2008, plans to construct an African-themed amusement park at the Werribee Open Range Zoo became public. The proposal for the $220 million, 40 hectare park was devised by Village Roadshow, a company which ran a number of successful theme parks on Queensland’s Gold Coast. In return, the company was reportedly seeking a 99- year lease on the publicly-owned park plus a $100 million contribution from the Victorian Government. The plan had in-principle support from the Premier and Tourism Minister who believed it would be an important addition to the state’s tourism offerings and had the potential to attract an additional one million tourists to the park each year. However, a number of former Zoo directors and interest groups, including Friends of the Zoo, had serious concerns about the proposal. They felt that it was an inappropriate use of a public asset and would detract from the Zoo’s core purpose – education and animal conservation. Zoo background Located approximately 30kms south-west of Melbourne, the Werribee Zoological Park (later renamed Werribee Open Range Zoo) was opened in 1983. Set on 200 hectares of grassland, the Zoo aimed to recreate the African savannah. Its animal collection of 56 different species featured cheetahs, lions, hippos, giraffes and the largest herd of zebra outside Africa. Widely recognised as one of the most significant collections of its kind, the Open Range Zoo was home to a number of threatened species including Southern White rhinos. Furthermore, several of those species could no longer be brought into Australia.
