PARTICIPATION

Ever since Steven Russell, Wayne Wittanen, and J. M. Graetz, three MIT employees who fantasized about bringing Edward E. Smith’s (1890-1965) Skylark novels (1915-1966) to the big screen, developed Spacewar! (1961), one of the first digital games created and a clear inspiration for games that would be designed in the following decades, the game industry has grown exponentially. As Egenfeldt-Nielson et al. have stated (2024), “[i]n the historical blink of an eye, video games have colonized our minds and invaded our screens” (2).

The Editors of Vestron Horror Films are looking for four additional chapters about films not taken yet for other contributors. We want to produce a book with analysis on most of Vestron horror’s catalogue and, thus, we need chapters on:

-Amsterdamned (Dick Mass, 1989)

-Dolls (Stuart Gordon, 1986)

-Gothic (Ken Russell, 1986)

-Chopping Mall (Jim Wynorski, 1986)

-The Company of Wolves (Neil Jordan 1984)

-The Gate (Tibor Takács,1987)

-Revenge of the Living Dead Part 3 (Brian Yuzna, 1993),

This is a call for paper for LISA e-Journal special issue edited by Marcin Stawiarski (Université de Caen Normandie).

The Realm of the Impossible: Planetary Conceptions of Space in Science Fiction and Fantasy

What is a good life? Scholars often attempt to answer this question by examining people’s ideals. Exemplified by Joel Robbins’ call of “the anthropology of the good,” anthropologists are encouraged to make ethnographic inquiries into qualities that are “imaginatively conceived” to be desirable and even “outstripped” the immediate realities (2013, 457). In other words, the scholarly examination of the “good life” has long been domesticated in the realm of thoughts and beliefs, insulated from that of the lived experiences.

​In our postmodern world there are a lot of questions that should be re-considered and re-defined. What does it mean to fight against colonialism and racism in the world of migration crisis and xenophobic attitudes towards minorities? What does it mean to be a postcommunist country in the face of the common nostalgia for order and rules? How is it possible to have a national identity being aware of the relative character of every national feature?
