Long shadow of Pulp Science Fiction: Popular culture for promoting science an...Nalaka Gunawardene
Presentation jointly by Nalaka Gunawardene, science writer, and S M Banduseela, science fiction translator, to Amazing Science Exhibition & Event in Colombo as part of the French Spring Festival.
‘Pulp magazines’ is a generic term for inexpensive magazines published in the United States from 1896 to the 1950s. They provided popular entertainment, especially before broadcast television became well established, and carried illustrated short stories and serialized stories in categories like adventure, travel, detective and science fiction.
This illustrated presentation will look at the role pulp magazines played in promoting science fiction writing and reading as part of 20th century popular culture. Many who later became mainstream writers, such as Robert A Heinlein, Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury first established themselves by writing to such publications.
In this talk, we look at how pulp science fiction inspired scientific discovery and innovation in areas as diverse as space exploration, computer science, robotics, evolution and materials science. We will also show part of a 2010 documentary titled ‘PULP FICTION: The Golden Age of Sci Fi, Fantasy and Advent’.
With the proliferation of series books for children and young adults today it might come as a surprise to many librarians that for many years series books occupied a dark corner of librarianship--the books were deemed unacceptable forms of reading material and were often ignored for purchase despite their popularity with young readers. In this webinar, you will be introduced to the history of series books as a format and then learn specifically why these books are not only important to the history of youth literature but to American history and pop culture as well. Speaker: Lindsey Tomsu, Teen Coordinator, La Vista Public Library.

Why Are Comics Still in Search of
Cultural Legitimization?
Thierry GroensTeen
Although comics have been in existence for over a century and a half, they suffer from
a considerable lack of legitimacy.
To those who know and love it, the art that has given us Rodolphe Töpffer and
Wilhelm Busch, Hergé and Tardi, Winsor McCay and George Herriman, Barks and
Gottfredson, Franquin and Moebius, Segar and Spiegelman, Gotlib and Bretécher,
Crumb and Mattotti, Hugo Pratt and Alberto Breccia, not to mention The Spirit,
Peanuts or Asterix . . . in short, comic art, has nothing left to prove. If its validity as an
art form appears self-evident, it is curious that the legitimizing authorities (universities,
museums, the media) still regularly charge it with being infantile, vulgar, or insignificant.
This as if the whole of the genre were to be lowered to the level of its most mediocre
products—and its most remarkable incarnations ignored. Comic art suffers from an
extraordinarily narrow image, given the richness and diversity of its manifestations.
Furthermore, its globally bad reputation jeopardizes the acknowledgment of its most
talented creators. Comic art’s continuing inability to reap the symbolic benefits of its
most accomplished achievements is particularly striking and merits elucidation. This is
the subject I would like to reflect upon today. Some of the points I will make concern
the specific history and situation of French comics and cannot be applied to other
national situations without some adaptation.
I will start by evoking some of the paradoxes of the history of the 9th art.
Modern (printed) comics appeared in the 1830s—in the form of Rodolphe Töpffer’s
pioneering work1—which makes them more or less contemporary with the invention
of photography. And yet, it was not until the 1960s that the French language found a
permanent name for this mode of expression—that was, by then, over a hundred years
old. During this long period, comics were known, not as bandes dessinées (literally strips
that have been drawn) but, successively or indiscriminately, as histoires en estampes, which
is Töpffer’s own term (stories told in prints), histoires en images (picture stories), récits
illustrés (illustrated tales), films dessinés (films made of drawings) and of course, comics.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
