Conference on the green man motif in literature

28 Tuesday Feb 2012

Not really very relevant to Lovecraft (perhaps the nearest Lovecraft gets to this ancient theme is “The Strange High House in the Mist”?), but interesting enough to mention here…

“A two-day multidisciplinary conference will take place in Trinity College Dublin, 20th-21st July 2012, to explore the role of green man and wild man motifs in twentieth and twenty-first century children’s culture.”

Two new “hard” SF publications

The veteran publishers of the New Scientist magazine have started a speculative science fiction / near-future magazine, possibly aiming to get a first-mover advantage ahead of the economic upturn (apparently touted in big publisher circles as likely to drive a new generation of young people away from fantasy, and toward “hard” SF). The new title is Arc…

“A new digital magazine about the future […] forthcoming new fact and fiction”

MIT Technology Review magazine has also announced a hard SF venture, TRSF…

“the first installment of a to-be-annual hard SF collection.”

This is my upscaling to print-res of a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike picture from Rouge Spark and Frozen Moon. I hope it’ll be useful to someone. Could make a nice retro postcard, to act as a flyer for a film show or similar.

Keele University (North Staffordshire, England) is to host a conference of historians and literary specialists that may appeal to Lovecraftian scholars in the UK. “Science and Literature, 1800 to Present: Two Cultures or Co-evolution?” is a postgraduate conference set for 12th May 2012. The event will examine the long history of interplays between the sciences and the arts, seen most especially in science fiction.

A paywalled Penn State University Press academic journal, Preternature, is seeing papers for a special issue on: “Monstrophy: The Academic Study of Monsters”…

“Preternature is an interdisciplinary forum for the study of the preternatural as seen in magics, witchcraft, spiritualism, occultism, prophecy, monstrophy, demonology, and folklore. The journal embraces a broad and dynamic definition of the preternatural. […] Contributions are welcome from any discipline, time period, or geographic provenance, so long as the discussion highlights the cultural, literary, religious, or historical significance of the topic. Final Papers are due 15th April 2012.”

Astounding Cthulhu Competition

25 Saturday Feb 2012

Enter the Call of Cthulhu Competition, and win a copy of Astounding Stories from March 1936 featuring H.P. Lovecraft (contains part 2 of At the Mountains of Madness).

To enter, “rewrite the text of an existing review of [the game] Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land in the style of H.P. Lovecraft”.

Interesting to see quite how small Astounding was. I had gained the impression that most pulps were big tabloid-newspaper -sized things.
