NOVE ASTRONOMIJE

Dario Hrupec
Svemir se tradicionalno opaža kroz vidljivu svjetlost i radiovalove. Tek s pojavom istraživaèkih satelita otkriveno je da kozmički izvori snažno zrače i u visokoenergijskom dijelu spektra: u rendgenskom i gama-području. Opažanje u svakom novom području elektromagnetskog spektra promijenilo je sliku svemira. No tu nije kraj. Otvara se mogućnost detekcije astrofizičkih neutrina i gravitacijskih valova što najavljuje i nove astronomske grane: neutrinsku astronomiju i astronomiju gravitacijskih valova.

POSTMODERNISTIČKA POIGRAVANJA U SF FILMOVIMA

Tomislav Hrastovčak
Miješanje žanrova i stilova, gomilanje citata, posveta i referenci, poigravanje formom i naracijom, naglasak na vizualno, preoblikovanje starih tema i motiva ... samo su neke od karakteristika postmodernističkih fimova. Naravno, i celuloidni SF objeručke je prihvatio postmodernističke trendove. Saznajte koji su reprezentativni primjeri postmodernističkog SF filma i što ih čini takvim... I da, bit će dosta riječi o Matrixu.
Tomislav Hrastovčak (1981.) je zaljubljenik u SF literaturu, filmove i pop-kulturu. Diplomirao je ekonomiju, a radi kao web novinar. Možete ga pratiti na Twitteru (@hrastomlat) i Tumblru (hrastomlat.tumblr.com).

OPENING TITLES IN SF MOVIES

mr. art. Tihoni Brčić, M.F.A.
From the mid 20th century movie opening titles outgrew their primary role of identification - they set the tone and defined the style and visual identity of the movie. We will analyse the impact of examples for Alien, Superman, Gattaca, The Matrix and Limitless. / Od sredine prošlog stoljeća najavne filmske špice počele su nadilaziti svoju primarnu identifikacijsku ulogu. Promišljenim konceptom i stiliziranim grafizmom počele su uvoditi u radnju i likove, uspostavljati ugođaj, definirati stil i vizualni identitet filma.

WHEN IT CHANGED - OR DID IT? THE LEGACY OF JOANNA RUSS

Milena Benini
Joanna Russ is one of the legendary figures of feminist SF who brought profound changes. Her legacy is perhaps even more important today, as our times have an unfortunate tendency to consider many of the problems in speculative fiction resolved, when in fact they have simply been swept under the carpet...
Milena Benini has been author, translator and general busybody in the speculative fiction field for more years than she cares to remember. Along the way, she won several awards for her work, and became a familiar sight at most local conventions. Outside of SF, her interests include genre literature of all kinds, feminism and politics, as well as random furry animals. She blogs in Croatian at http://nosf.net, in a mixture of languages on her personal blog http://milerama.nosf.net, and English-language only on tumblr htttp:/milenab.tumblr.com. She can also be found on Twitter as @Milerama.

WOMEN WITH SWORDS AND GIRL COOTIES: STRONG WOMEN IN FANTASY

Milena Benini
We all know what strong women in fantasy look like: skimpy armor, large sword, Playmate body. The ass-kicking heroine simultaneously satisfies the demand for political correctness (She's a chick! And kicks ass!) and the immature fantasies of the projected male audiences. Today, when so many authors claim to be breaking the moulds of the old-fashioned fantasy, why is it then so difficult to find heroines that do not answer to that description?

WIRELESS ENERGY TRANSMISSION WITH TESLA MAGNIFIERS

Davor Jandrijević
Tesla Long Distance High-Power and High-Efficiency Wireless Energy Transmission is not yet in use - it is still a mystery to our technology. Nikola Tesla has tested it successfully a century ago. We want to know if it is possible with today's technology and to learn which technological challenges it puts before us. We will use two small Tesla Magnifiers made of household materials to light up fluorescent tubes at a distance of a few meters.
The author does independent research of exotic technologies in his free time. After several of his creations failed to work, he built a prototype of a Tesla Magnifier and repeated Tesla's experiment of wireless energy transfer.
