Australian SF News 18 Binns 1980-05 1980 HEBOID DWORD WIHHERS ARTHUR C.CLARKE The NEBULA AWARDS presented at the annual banquet, held this year at The Beverly Wiltshire Hotel, Beverly Hills, California, are as follows: BEST NOVEL: THE FOUNTAINS OF PARADISE by Arthur C.Clarke (Gollancz U.K. and Harcourt U.S.A.) BEST NOVELLA: ENEMY MINE by Barry Longyear (IASF Magazine Sep.) BEST NOVELETTE: SANDKINGS by George R.R.Martin (Omni Aug.) BEST SHORT STORY: giANTS by Edward Bryant (Analog Aug.) HE HUGO NOMINATIONS1980 The Noreascon Committee received 563 Hugo Award nominating ballots. Michael Moorcock was nominated for the Gandalf Award but was not placed on the final ballot because of his wish not to take part. Connie Willis received enough votes for the Campbell Award, but was declared ineligible because of a story in 1970. Somtow Sucharitkul had a story in a small circulation magazine in 1977 but was declared eligible anyway. The range figures indicate how many nominations the highest and lowest got.

  • Rewriting Universes: Post-Brexit Futures in Dave Hutchinson’S Fractured Europe Quartet
    humanities Article Rewriting Universes: Post-Brexit Futures in Dave Hutchinson’s Fractured Europe Quartet Hadas Elber-Aviram Department of English, The University of Notre Dame (USA) in England, London SW1Y 4HG, UK; [email protected] Abstract: Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a new strand of British fiction that grapples with the causes and consequences of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. Building on Kristian Shaw’s pioneering work in this new literary field, this article shifts the focus from literary fiction to science fiction. It analyzes Dave Hutchinson’s Fractured Europe quartet— comprised of Europe in Autumn (pub. 2014), Europe at Midnight (pub. 2015), Europe in Winter (pub. 2016) and Europe at Dawn (pub. 2018)—as a case study in British science fiction’s response to the recent nationalistic turn in the UK. This article draws on a bespoke interview with Hutchinson and frames its discussion within a range of theories and studies, especially the European hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer. It argues that the Fractured Europe quartet deploys science fiction topoi to interrogate and criticize the recent rise of English nationalism. It further contends that the Fractured Europe books respond to this nationalistic turn by setting forth an estranged vision of Europe and offering alternative modalities of European identity through the mediation of photography and the redemptive possibilities of cooking. Keywords: speculative fiction; science fiction; utopia; post-utopia; dystopia; Brexit; England; Europe; Dave Hutchinson; Fractured Europe quartet Citation: Elber-Aviram, Hadas. 2021.

    GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS, SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS SPECULATIVE MATTER: GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS AND SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS By LAURA M. WIEBE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Laura Wiebe, October 2012 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Speculative Matter: Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings AUTHOR: Laura Wiebe, B.A. (University of Waterloo), M.A. (Brock University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Anne Savage NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 277 ii ABSTRACT Amidst the technoscientific ubiquity of the contemporary West (or global North), science fiction has come to seem the most current of genres, the narrative form best equipped to comment on and work through the social, political and ethical quandaries of rapid technoscientific development and the ways in which this development challenges conventional understandings of human identity and rationality. By this framing, the continuing popularity of stories about paranormal phenomena and supernatural entities – on mainstream television, or in print genres such as urban fantasy and paranormal romance – may seem to be a regressive reaction against the authority of and experience of living in technoscientific modernity. Nevertheless, the boundaries of science fiction, as with any genre, are relational rather than fixed, and critical engagements with Western/Northern technoscientific knowledge and practice and modern human identity and being may be found not just in science fiction “proper,” or in the scholarly field of science and technology studies, but also in the related genres of fantasy and paranormal romance.

The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

  • 22 Tightbeam
    22 TIGHTBEAM Those multiple points of connection—and favorites—indicate the show’s position of preference in popular culture, and Tennant said he’s consistently surprised by how Doctor Who fandom and awareness has spread internationally—despite its British beginnings. “Doctor Who is part of the cultural furniture in the UK,” he said. “It’s something that’s uniquely British, that Britain is proud of, and that the British are fascinated by.” Now, when Tennant is recognized in public, he can determine how much a fan of the show the person is based on what they say to him. “If someone says, ‘Allons-y!’ chances are they’re a fan,” he said. Most people say something like, “Where’s your Tardis?” or “Aren’t you going to fix that with your sonic screwdriver?” There might be one thing that all fans can agree on. Perhaps—as Tennant quipped—Doctor Who Day, Nov. 23 (which marks the airing of the first episode, “An Unearthly Child”) should be a national holiday. Regardless of what nation—or planet—you call home.

Shine Crossing the Monster Kaaron Warren Island of Sin Jack Murphy An Interview with Chuck Wendig Beth Tabler The Tesseract Evan Marcroft An Interview with Paul Tremblay Beth Tabler The Jewels of the Mermaids Marisca Pichette The Case for Conflict Sadie Hartmann Tubes Jeremy C. Shipp An Interview with Graham Masterton 2 Beth Tabler Gingerbread Lindsay King-Miller 3 From the Editor BETH TABLER Hey, there. My name is Beth Tabler, and I am guest editing the horror crossover issue of Grimdark Magazine. As a young connoisseur of all horror and science fiction movies inappropriate for my age, I remember seeing Poltergeist for the first time when I was seven years old. I had snuck down to the television while my folks were sleeping. I never quite got over demonic trees, clowns, and an old woman screaming, "Carol Anne." I remember reading my first Stephen King book, Salem's Lot, at 12. I knew at that moment that my reading life would never be the same. I remember the first grimdark book I read at 25; it was Mark Lawrence’s Prince of Thorns, by the way. I realized sometimes heroes aren't heroic, bad guys can be protagonists, and life is full of a lot more gray than I had thought. Horror and grimdark are a part of who I am and how I see the world. They are my jam. The themes of horror and grimdark have always gone hand in hand. But often, a thin gray line separates the two, a place where the story does not fall one way or another but sits on that terrifying spot between the two, where you can't quite tell what is what.
