RaceFail 09

2009-02-07T03:47:04Z

Lavendertook: /* Timeline */

'''RaceFail 09''' is a term used to refer to an extended discussion of race and racism in science fiction books, culture, fandom, and criticism that began in January 2009. It has been called by many other names, including the Great Cultural Appropriation Debate of Doom 3 (or 2), and RaceFail 9000.

(Ed. note: A more positive name could highlight the community strength and backup shown... but so far it's mostly been described as "fail".)

(There is a good outline of one on avalon's willow's blog -- also see discussion tab for notes on formatting and linking0)

January 8, 2009: [[Another shot at thinking about the Other]] by [[Jay Lake]] on [http://jaylake.livejournal.com/1692287.html LJ]

:This post came a few days before the main source of discussion in Elizabeth Bear's journal, and through it is not stated, may have contributed to her musings. Inspired by a discussion on ''The Edge of the American West'' about "speaking from cultural authority and presumed expertise." Lake expressed disdain for the idea that white writers don't have "standing" to use Aboriginal or First Nations material in their fiction. The comment thread, 78 responses long, was filled with fail. A lot of 101-level thinking.

January 12, 2009: [[whatever you're doing, you're probably wrong.]] by [[Elizabeth Bear]] on [http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1544111.html LJ]

:The main source of fail. Bear explains how to write The Other.

January 13, 2009: [[I Didn't Dream of Dragons]] by [[deepad]] on [http://deepad.livejournal.com/29656.html LJ]

:Not a direct response to Bear's post, but triggered by it. "...this is more my commentary on the Western, White novels and blogs I have been reading recently, and my experience as an Indian reader."

January 13, 2009: [[Open Letter: To Elizabeth Bear]] by [[Avalon's Willow]] on [http://seeking-avalon.blogspot.com/2009/01/open-letter-to-elizabeth-bear.html Seeking Avalon]

:A response to [http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1544111.html?thread=30733743&style=mine#t30733743 a thread] in [[whatever you're doing, you're probably wrong.]]

::I'm not calling you a monster. I'm not calling you a racist. But I am calling you clueless and ill worded and more than a touch thoughtless. Your ability to think about things, ''sometimes'', does not erase my pain or lack.

January 14, 2009: [[real magic can never be made by offering up someone else's liver.]] by [[Elizabeth Bear]] on [http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1544999.html LJ]

:A response to [[Open Letter: To Elizabeth Bear]] in which Bear acknowledges that [[Avalon's Willow]]'s criticism is valid. Comments start out badly ("Over sensitivity to perceived racism tends to result in the nit picking of words and sentence structure.") and go downhill quickly.

January 14, 2009: [[The Magical Other]], in which [[medievalist]] posts an explanation of phouka mythology in relation to ''[[Blood & Iron]]'' on [http://medievalist.livejournal.com/39227.html her LJ]. Post & discussion later [[flock|flocked]] or made private, then unlocked again.

:In [http://medievalist.livejournal.com/39227.html?thread=193339#t193339 a comment] left on Jan 16 below that entry, [[medievalist]] attacks [[Avalon's Willow]], saying among other things that "She's engaging in [[orcing]], performance art and pretty much [[blog-whoring]]."

January 14, 2009: [[Untitled Post about Avalon's Willow's open letter to Bear]] by [[Sarah Monette]] on [http://truepenny.livejournal.com/625351.html LJ]

:Acknowledges that intent and result do not always match up. Comments devolve into failfest, marked particularly by [[Macallister Stone]], [[medievalist]] and [[Emma Bull]] invalidating criticism because it isn't academic enough and also because some readers aren't as smart as the writers they criticize.

(Some of these comments occur in a post by [[mac_stone]] about child abuse in relation to unspecified current discussion, including [[pnh]]'s "smart" comment)

(some other stuff here)
(including pnh and others commenting on copracat's LJ in discussion of mac_stone's statements)
(Patrick Nielsen Hayden deletes his pnh LJ)

January 26, 2009: [[I'm taking this about as well as you'd expect.]] by [[Teresa Nielsen Hayden]] on [http://tnh.livejournal.com/6256.html LJ] (original is now friends-locked)

:Teresa's response to Patrick's emotional state after been called on his comments. Original post and comments full of fail and including several problematic uses of language.

January 26, 2009: [[My only statement on the cultural appropriation imbroglio]] by [[David Levine]] on [http://davidlevine.livejournal.com/154220.html LJ]

:In response to Levine finding out why [[Patrick Nielsen Hayden]] deleted his LJ. With comments disabled, Levine proceeds to chide the "anti-racist" side for scaring him and other white writers off of writing characters of color and ends with "Is this what you wanted?"

January 27, 2009: [[The last comment that went up before I flocked the previous post.]] by [[Teresa Nielsen Hayden]] on [http://tnh.livejournal.com/6434.html LJ]

:A post meant to explain why the previous post disappeared for so many readers. Some conversations and fights continued in the comments here and include failure by Teresa to shut down problem comments and language because the people using said language were on her side.

Women eligible for 2008 SF Awards

2007-04-25T04:18:57Z

Lavendertook: /* Novel */

This is a list of women eligible for SF awards to be given out in 2008 based on works published from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007. Awards that follow this eligibility format include the Hugo, the Campbell, the World Fantasy Award, the Tiptree, and the Phillip K. Dick. (The Nebulas have a rolling period of eligibility based on the specific date a work was published.) We're listing these women to bring them greater attention, to share information about them for ourselves, and to help avoid problems like the [[2006 Hugo vacuum]].

Please include here ''any eligible woman'', along with the information about her eligible work: title, publication date, and format. For novels, it's useful to search Amazon for the author's name: the list of works has publication date and format right there.

Note: Some awards are based on ''first publication'' and other awards are based on first publication in the US, England, etc. If a work was first published outside of the time period but would be eligible for some awards, please add it and add in parentheses any restrictions or explanations about eligibility.

==Eligibility and voting by award==

===[[Arthur C Clarke Award]]===
The Arthur C. Clarke Award is awarded every year to the best science fiction novel which received its first British publication during the previous calendar year. The Award is chosen by jury.

===[[John W. Campbell Award|Campbell]]===
Not to be confused with the Campbell Memorial award, the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer is for a writer whose first work of science fiction or fantasy was published in the previous two calendar years. It is nominated, voted on, and awarded by the Worldcon membership exactly like the Hugos are, except that the work can have been published anywhere in the world.

===[[John W. Campbell Memorial Award for the Best New Writer|Campbell Memorial]]===
The John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel is for a novel published anywhere in the world in the previous year. It is awarded by a small, persistent jury, consisting of: Gregory Benford, Paul A. Carter, James Gunn, Elizabeth Anne Hull, Christopher McKitterick, Farah Mendlesohn, Pamela Sargent, and T.A. Shippey. Books are nominated in December of their eligible year by the jurors, and potentially by publishers (Chris McKitterick invites contact on the Campbell Memorial website). Finalists are announced in April, and the winner determined in May. The award is handed out on the 4th of July weekend at the Campbell Conference Awards Banquet at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.

===[[Hugo Award|Hugo]]===
Eligible works are those first published in the previous calendar year anywhere in the world, in any language.
