Apocalyptica Vol. 1 (2022): "The Living Word: Textuality and the End in the MaddAddam and Southern Reach Trilogies" by Ruby Niemann @RubyNiemann ➡️ https://t.co/EIkO0e3s3r
Hey! I just wanted to let everyone know that my first peer-reviewed article, on textual apocalypse in Atwood and Vandermeer, was just published in the inaugural issue of Apocalyptica https://t.co/03DktWugmd
If you'd like to read it but you don't have institutional access, please let me know! And I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on my article or any of the articles in the issue :)
I'm really thrilled to be a part of the first issue of such a cool journal, and I'm also extremely proud of this piece. It was so much fun to write, and even more fun to refine (I got to go hang out in the science fiction library here in toronto!)
I also do just want to say how grateful I am to Shannon and Fiona for including me in both the symposium that this collection was based on and the collection itself. It's been a wonderful experience, between arriving in Dijon in 2019 to sending everyone excited snapchats today
Something cool landed in my inbox today! I have understandably complex feelings about the lady herself but I'm really proud of all the work I produced over the course of my phD, and I'm so excited that my first published piece is appearing alongside some incredible thinkers
Really interesting talk by Robert Winstanley-Chesters about the political geography of soil in colonial Korea. It’s so interesting to me how the coloniser approach to land use (that colonised peoples don’t know how to use their own land) is so prevalent across colonial powers
Haleigh got this pen for me when I started my PhD in 2017. I used to look at it when I was flagging and remind myself I couldn’t make the pen a liar. Then I left it in australia when I left! But mum found it when she was packing to move and sent it to me and now here we are
@mcat_ee@AofANLA@MikMikMik333 Uhhh not familiar with this one?? But I wasn’t exactly haunting the bars when I lived in burra, although all the adults around me drank
@ThylacineReport Nine so far - I got my first when I was 19 (ten years ago - a Vonnegut quote because 19!) and I’ve never stopped. The most recent one was a small one I got in December of last year
Looking at the contents for the review copy of a book on Lois McMaster Bujold (an author I know because I had to joy of hearing @thatsillyhelen describe the vorkosigan saga to me in detail the 2nd time we met 🥰) only to see @alliedwolves is a contributor! Very good vibes here
