Lovecraft and a World in Transition for the Kindle

28 Wednesday Jan 2015

Now available for the Kindle ereader, S.T. Joshi’s Lovecraft and a World in Transition: Collected Essays on H. P. Lovecraft (USA Amazon). Also at the UK Amazon where it’s at a low £6.66 price. Even if you can’t afford that, I’d presume that the 10% free sample is still worth having since this whopper is some 650 pages long in print and Amazon claims 742 pages for the digital copy. Contents list is here. Not sure if there are round-trip linked footnotes / endnotes on the Kindle version.

Can’t afford the 4,000 page The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary? Historical writers can instead use the Historical Thesaurus of English from Glasgow University, which is huge, online for free and has a search facility.

Off the Grid

A 2013 open access item in The Comics Grid: journal of comics scholarship, “‘Should we not also speak of Art as Magic?’: A Review of Alan Moore and the Gothic Tradition”, includes an account of a chapter in the book on Moore and Lovecraft…

Concluding with an obvious yet essential illustration of the relationship between Moore, Lovecraft and the Gothic, Green’s ‘A darker magic: heterocosms and bricolage in Moore’s recent reworkings of Lovecraft’ investigates the recent Neonomicon. It results in an examination of Moore’s accentuation of Gothic tropes — fear of the past and excessive knowledge — through psychogeography. The Neonomicon (2010–2011), Lovecraft’s texts, and the Gothic tradition are seen as possibly dangerous ‘heterocosms’, as intertextual bricolage that make ‘other worlds’: but ‘the fact that a particular world can be imagined, does not necessarily mean that it should be brought into being’”

Center for Human Imagination grants

12 Monday Jan 2015

The Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination has grants to…

support undergraduate student projects on imagination. Specifically, projects that will lead to a deeper understanding of imagination as a neuro-cognitive and socio-cultural phenomenon, as well as projects that apply imagination in novel and impactful ways are encouraged. Creative works (art, music, dance, theater, literature, etc…), technology development, or scientific study, in which the role of human imagination is foregrounded are appropriate for the funding. Projects that involve cross disciplinary collaborations are particularly encouraged, and all funded projects are expected to be featured in Clarke Center events and facilities per the timeline below. We anticipate awarding three grants this year.”

Opens 25th January 2015. Fleeing night-dream memories and their potential for having subtle impacts on everyday waking decision behaviors, that would be my choice of a topic. Which would also tie into Lovecraft’s interest in dreams somewhat.
