The Legacies of Ursula K. Le Guin : Science, Fiction, Ethics
Abstract
This excellent volume is devoted to Le Guin's ongoing critical reception. It presents a fine mix of international contributors that culminates in a masterful article from Isabelle Stengers.
[...]
Here Stengers does for Le Guin what she famously did for the British philosopher Alfred North Whitehead: she shows how to 'think with' this author, how to 'think in SF mode' while engaging the intellectual investments that animate Le Guin's fiction. The other authors in the volume rise to the occasion of the brilliance that concludes it." -Bruce Clarke, Paul Whitfield Horn Distinguished Professor of Literature and Science, Department of English, Texas Tech University The Legacies of Ursula K. Le Guin explores how Le Guin's fiction and essays have built a speculative ethical practice engaging indigenous knowledge and feminism, while crafting utopias in which human and other-than-human life forms enter into new relations. Her work also delineates new ways of making sense of the "science" of science fiction. The authors of this collection provide up-to-date discussions of well-known works as well as more experimental writings. Written in an accessible style, Legacies will appeal to any readers interested in literature, science fiction and fantasy, as well as specialists of science and technology studies, philosophy of science, ethics, gender studies, indigenous studies and posthumanism.
