  • Discussion About Edwardian/Pulp Era Science Fiction

    Discussion About Edwardian/Pulp Era Science Fiction

    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Jess Nevins July 2019 Jess Nevins is the author of “the Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana” and other works on Victoriana and pulp fiction. He has also written original fiction. He is employed as a reference librarian at Lone Star College-Tomball. Nevins has annotated several comics, including Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Elseworlds, Kingdom Come and JLA: The Nail. Gary Denton: In America, we had Hugo Gernsback who founded science fiction magazines, who were the equivalents in other countries? The sort of science fiction magazine that Gernsback established, in which the stories were all science fiction and in which no other genres appeared, and which were by different authors, were slow to appear in other countries and really only began in earnest after World War Two ended. (In Great Britain there was briefly Scoops, which only 20 issues published in 1934, and Tales of Wonder, which ran from 1937 to 1942). What you had instead were newspapers, dime novels, pulp magazines, and mainstream magazines which regularly published science fiction mixed in alongside other genres. The idea of a magazine featuring stories by different authors but all of one genre didn’t really begin in Europe until after World War One, and science fiction magazines in those countries lagged far behind mysteries, romances, and Westerns, so that it wasn’t until the late 1940s that purely science fiction magazines began appearing in Europe and Great Britain in earnest. Gary Denton: Although he was mainly known for Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle also created the Professor Challenger stories like The Lost World.

    Packet of Curricular Materials

    May 12, 2000 Dear Colleagues: I am one of this year’s Midwest Faculty Fellows with the Regional Worlds Program. This spring Richard Guzman, a Midwest Faculty Fellow from North Central College, and I have been involved in organizing the pedagogy session that will be part of the upcoming Regional Worlds Capstone Conference, “Mobile Geographies, Plural Histories.” The session is entitled, “New Paradigms in Area Studies Teaching,” and will be held on Saturday, May 20th from 10:00 am – 12:00 noon at the Franke Institute of the Humanities, Regenstein Library. Discussions about pedagogy have been a very important dimension of the Regional Worlds Program and our session next Saturday provides an opportunity to involve participants from this year’s program, “Diasporas, Minorities and Counter Geographies,” as well as participants from the three previous programs, “South Asia 1996-97,” “Latin America 1997-98,” and “East Asia 1998- 1999.” In planning this session we wanted to address tandem goals. First, we wanted to look at some of the specific curricular initiatives that emerged as a direct result of faculty participation in Regional Worlds. David Moore (International Studies, Macalester College], Arjun Guneratne (Anthropology, Macalester College], Jerome Levi (Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton College), Kathleen Ryor (Art History, Carleton College], and Nandini Bhattacharya (English, Valparaiso University] have kindly agreed to share syllabi of courses they developed or revised as a result of their participation in the Program. In addition, I asked them to provide us with some information contextualizing the courses in terms of Regional Worlds and/or their particular institutional frameworks. The syllabi and statements are attached.

  • Writing About Comics

    Writing About Comics

    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators English 100-v: Writing about Comics From the wild assertions of Unbreakable and the sudden popularity of films adapted from comics (not just Spider-Man or Daredevil, but Ghost World and From Hell), to the abrupt appearance of Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman all over The New Yorker, interesting claims are now being made about the value of comics and comic books. Are they the visible articulation of some unconscious knowledge or desire -- No, probably not. Are they the new literature of the twenty-first century -- Possibly, possibly... This course offers a reading survey of the best comics of the past twenty years (sometimes called “graphic novels”), and supplies the skills for reading comics critically in terms not only of what they say (which is easy) but of how they say it (which takes some thinking). More importantly than the fact that comics will be touching off all of our conversations, however, this is a course in writing critically: in building an argument, in gathering and organizing literary evidence, and in capturing and retaining the reader's interest (and your own). Don't assume this will be easy, just because we're reading comics. We'll be working hard this semester, doing a lot of reading and plenty of writing. The good news is that it should all be interesting. The texts are all really good books, though you may find you don't like them all equally well. The essays, too, will be guided by your own interest in the texts, and by the end of the course you'll be exploring the unmapped territory of literary comics on your own, following your own nose.

Looking at Popular Muslim Films through the Lens of Genre Asmita Das Department of Film Studies, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. ORCID: 0000-0002-7307-5818. Email: [email protected] Received February 25, 2017; Revised April 9, 2017; Accepted April 10, 2017; Published May 7, 2017. Abstract This essay engages with genre as a theory and how it can be used as a framework to determine whether Islamicate or the Muslim films can be called a genre by themselves, simply by their engagement with and representation of the Muslim culture or practice. This has been done drawing upon the influence of Hollywood in genre theory and arguments surrounding the feasibility / possibility of categorizing Hindi cinema in similar terms. The essay engages with films representing Muslim culture, and how they feed into the audience’s desires to be offered a window into another world (whether it is the past or the inner world behind the purdah). It will conclude by trying to ascertain whether the Islamicate films fall outside the categories of melodrama (which is the most prominent and an umbrella genre that is represented in Indian cinema) and forms a genre by itself or does the Islamicate form a sub-category within melodrama. Keywords: genre, Muslim socials, socials, Islamicate films, Hindi cinema, melodrama. 1. Introduction The close association between genre and popular culture (in this case cinema) ensured generic categories (structured by mass demands) to develop within cinema for its influence as a popular art.
