Preliminary Program Grid for Carolyn Ives GilmanThis is the Preliminary program schedule. Carolyn Ives Gilman may or may not actually be on these items, but probably will. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, modifications to the program can occur throughout the convention. |
| Friday 8:30 pm: The Arts and Alternative History (Ends at: 9:25 pm) Wilson Participants:Carolyn Ives Gilman , James Morrow (M), John Ashmead, Martin Berman-Gorvine, Tom Doyle We love imagining the ripple effects of worlds changed by a single shift in culture or missing political figure. The influence of our greatest authors, artists, and composers is no less compelling. Panelists discuss what alternate histories emerge when the arts change course. What other realities are possible when we do not lose certain brilliant artists so young? Can the fickle tastes of one prominent patron change the artistic history of an era? |
| Saturday 5:30 pm: Exploring Oppression in Speculative Fiction (Ends at: 6:25 pm) Eisenhower Participants:Carolyn Ives Gilman (M), Jennifer R. Povey, Joan Wendland Science fiction and fantasy have never shied away from exploring the origins and consequences of fascist and oppressive societies. Whether a familiar secondary world or overt description of modern autocracies, these stories endure for the cautionary tale and the lessons they tell through the "what if." Panelists discuss how these stories have evolved over the years and the techniques used, including satire, to effectively explore how oppression shapes individuals and cultures. |
