Der Star Trek Defender-Charaktertest ;-)
| Der "Star Trek Defender" Charaktertest Captain Lairis Ilana Du weißt, was du willst, stehst für deine Sache ein und die Leute halten dich für eine geborene Führungspersönlichkeit. Deine Warmherzigkeit und dein Humor sind so ansteckend, wie deine Temperamentsausbrüche abschreckend sind. Für Schwächere setzt du dich rückhaltlos ein - auch wenn das bedeutet, dass du selbst in die Schusslinie gerätst. Wenn du etwas für richtig hältst, findest du sehr unorthodoxe Wege, dich durchzusetzen - manches grenzt schon an hinterhältige oder illegale Methoden. Damit machst du dir natürlich nicht nur Freunde. Kein Wunder, dass du öfter mal sarkastisch bist. |

Expressing what I thought was wrong
"I was delighted to find fanfic. It was such a wonderful way of expressing what I thought was wrong with the original TV show, and putting it right".
Das bringt es so auf den Punkt, dass ich überlege, es als Motto für meine Diplomarbeit zu verwenden...

Ankündigung: Pictorial History of Science Fiction Fanzines
| Für Juli 2013 ist das Buch "The Interpretation of Zines: A Pictorial History of Science Fiction Fanzines" von Luis Ortiz bei Nonstop Press angekündigt. |
Verlagstext: "A remarkable journey through the development of a popular subculture, from its earliest fans in the 1930s who used primitive desktop-printing technology to create amateur zines mimicking newsstand magazines to more recent zines dedicated to media science fiction, this chronicle of sci-fi fandom is a unique, eccentric, and richly entertaining look at the genre. This visual compendium showcases the best, most interesting, and strangest fanzines ever produced and provides the historical background of their development and detailed information on the writers and artists involved in their creation. From Ray Bradbury and Gene Simmons to Stephen King and Roger Ebert, the work of famous sci-fi zinesters is explored as well as all the marginal ephemera from a once isolated little genre that has now gained worldwide recognition and acceptance".
Whatcha mean, what's a zine?
| In der bibliothekarischen Comicreihe "Unshelved" von Gene Ambaum und Bill Barnes widmet sich eine Ausgabe dem Buch "Whatcha Mean, What's a Zine? The Art of Making Zines and Mini Comics" von Esther Pearl Watson und Mark Todd, erschienen 2006 bei Graphia Books [follow the link]. |

Marvel and Wonder in Literature and Literary Theory
Our panel seeks to explore the concept of wonder and how it functions in literature, both as an emotional response to the foreign and as a stimulus for contemplation and critical reflection. It is through this very emotion, one could argue, that we position ourselves in the world and separate the Self from the Other. Yet, this experience is also what prompts our curiosity for discovery and provokes our search for explanations.
Genres such as travel literature seek to capture these moments of encounter with the foreign in terms of 'content'. Wonder, however, is also an effect that can be sought in the literary 'form' as well and has been a topic of theoretical discussion throughout the ages: from Aristotle (to thaumaston), the medieval Arab world (ta'ajjub), medieval Europe (meraviglia/admiration), the Enlightenment (sublime), to Russian Formalism (defamiliarization/Verfremdung).
We aim at discussing questions such as:
The seminar welcomes papers looking at any of these aspects of wonder, in any period and region, either as it is treated theoretically or as an analysis of a literary text. Please submit a 250-words abstract by November 15, 2012 through the following link: http://acla.org/submit/index.php.
