Send us a textHolly and Marty get together with their friend Susan MacKinnon to discuss the science fiction of Ursula K. LeGuin, literary icon of speculative fiction. We talk about her Hugo and Nebula winning books "The Left Hand of Darkness" and "The Dispossessed", which are among the most celebrated classics in science fiction. The first was a pioneering book about the impact of gender on civilization, describing an ambisexual society. The second is about anarchism as an ambiguous utopia in the context of capitalism, and describes some very deep and beautiful ideas about time and the foundations of physics. We also talk about LeGuin's short story "Those Who Walk Away From Omelas", a lasting parable about those whose suffering supports our society and how we confront or submit to that reality. We also chat about higher education, feminism, dresses with huge pockets and a some of the other books we're reading.Email: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/

C'est une lutte impitoyable qui oppose moto-taxis, tuk-tuk, taxi-voitures et bus dans les villes du continent. En Guinée, cela fait bien longtemps que les éternels taxis jaunes ont perdu le monopole du transport à Conakry. Ils ont d'abord été concurrencés par les motos-taxis et le sont depuis quelques années par un nouveau type de véhicule : les tricycles, couramment appelés « bombonas », importés d'Inde. Leur avantage ? Ils échappent aux embouteillages permanents de la ville et sont plus abordables que les motos-taxis. Ils sont plébiscités par les Conakriens, mais leur dangerosité a forcé l'État à prendre des mesures de restriction. De notre correspondant à Conakry, Il est 8 heures au marché de Taouyah. C'est l'heure de pointe et la route est complètement embouteillée. Mais les bombonas jaunes et verts, toit rétractable, se faufilent entre les voitures grâce à leur petite taille, en empruntant la « troisième position », explique Ibrahima, un chauffeur : « Troisième position, c'est-à-dire quand les voitures sont en ligne, nous, on prend le milieu pour les dévier. » Aïssata apprécie : « C'est plus rapide que les taxis. »Avec les bonbonas, le prix du tronçon est un peu plus élevé que pour les taxi-voitures ordinaires. « Pour un trajet en bombona, c'est 2 500 francs guinéens (26 centimes d'euros) et pour le taxi, 2 000 francs (21 centimes d'euros) », explique Hawa, une autre usagère, qui se dit plus à l'aise dans ces tricycles : « Avant, je prenais le taxi voiture, mais ce n'était pas trop confortable à l'intérieur parce que derrière, c'est quatre places (quatre personnes serrées à l'arrière, NDLR). Par contre, le bombona c'est trois places derrière. »Avec quatre personnes serrées sur trois places, les taxis deviennent rapidement des étuves, comme le confirme Sékou Kaba, responsable d'un syndicat des bombonas : « Le passager assis dans le tricycle, il est en contact direct avec l'air. Le Guinéen aime ça. Se coincer à quatre derrière les taxis, il n'aime pas ça. »Malgré ce succès, le développement des bombonas a connu un grand coup de frein quand les autorités leur ont interdit de circuler sur les principales artères de la capitale, l'autoroute Fidel Castro et la route Le Prince. Ils provoquaient trop d'accidents, explique le responsable syndicaliste : « Les premiers chauffeurs de tricycles ont été formés, ils travaillaient dans de bonnes conditions. Après, il y a eu une deuxième vague. Quand la troisième vague est arrivée, ça a débordé. Ils ne respectaient pas le Code de la route et ainsi de suite. »Aujourd'hui, c'est donc à chacun sa route : les taxi-voitures gardent leur monopole sur les grandes voies, les bombonas sont relégués sur la route littorale reliant Sonfonia à Dixinn, en passant par Lambanyi et Kipé. Pour autant, leur popularité est telle que les chanteurs Pushka et Gwada Maga leur ont dédié une chanson.À écouter aussiLes défis des transports urbains en Afrique

Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with contemporary artist Olivia Strange, during her solo exhibition ‘It Softens The Blow, That Deep Melodic Bliss' in Liminal Gallery's Main Space, in Margate from 6 July until 31 August 2024. Pulling together the multifarious strands of Strange's practice "It Softens the Blow, That Deep Melodic Bliss" explores notions of escape and survival through snapshot moments of euphoria and pleasure, as an act of resistance.The work celebrates the freedom and intimacy found within singular moments in varying spaces from the domestic environment, the natural landscape to the rave scene, that offer a sense of safety to hold multiple truths simultaneously whilst providing a portal through which to explore identities away from the constraints of critical thought.Through themes of dis/embodiment, movement, touch and tenderness, healing and empowerment, connection and ‘belonging', Strange explores intimate moments in time that elicit a sense of escape and diversion from programmed ideas of self into altered states of consciousness and where emotions can be discharged in spaces and dimensions that provide transient moments of relief from the boundaries of day to day normative realities. Olivia Strange's multi-disciplinary practice spanning sculpture, painting, installation, moving image and poetry, is characterised by a layered narrative and highly visceral aesthetic. The work is concerned with disarming patriarchal descriptors via exploration of her Italian roots and draws on themes of Greco-Roman mythology, historical narratives around witches, the female body & jouissance to portray an empowering image of queer female subjectivity.Since graduating with Distinction from Chelsea College of Art- MA Fine Art (2017) having received the Vice Chancellor Scholarship, Strange has exhibited at Annka Kulty's Gallery presenting an ambitious large scale immersive installation as part of the inaugural Cacotopia show, Southwark Park Galleries, ArtOn Istanbul, Unit 1 Gallery, Liminal Gallery (Solo Show), Every Woman Biennial, Basis Projektraum and had a solo presentation at London Art Fair with Liminal Gallery in 2024.Strange was selected for the 2021 cohort of the SPACE Studios X London Creative Network Artist Development Programme and the Ellipsis Prints 2021 Commissioning Project and Shortlisted for the prestigious Ingram Collection Purchase Prize 2021. More recently Strange was selected for the Radical Residency 2022 at Unit 1 Gallery in London, longlisted for the Robert Walters UK New Artist Award 2022, co-curated the group exhibition ‘Bag, Pedestal, Rabbit, Potato' which centred around Ursula. K.

In 1970, Avon Books published a landmark anthology, “Science Fiction Hall of Fame,” featuring 26 classic short stories that represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on by the members of the new (at the time, in the late 1960s) organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series, I will be joined by a panel of guests to break down these stories and talk about the authors in the book. In this episode, I am joined by retired professors Brian Attebery and Steven Shaviro. Brian Attebery writer and emeritus professor of English and philosophy at Idaho State University and The author of The Fantasy Tradition in American Literature: From Irving to Le Guin. Steven Shaviro is a retired Wayne State professor, philosopher, and cultural critic whose areas of interest include film theory and Science Fiction He is the author of Fluid Futures. We talk about Murray Leinster and his 1945 classic First Contact. We go deep into the aythor's history, some of his other classic stories, the issue of Astounding that came out the month of Nazi surrender. Also I get into his major impact on one of the most popular authors of all time.

Unas notas al final del libro que pueden ser interesantes. Pero si de verdad te interesan, mi consejo es leer el libro. De hecho, el que yo he leído está en eBiblio, la biblioteca pública online en España. En otros países, pues no sé cómo se podrá hacer gratis, pero siempre queda la solución de comprarlo y releerlo hasta llegar a comprender esta obra. Para mí volverla a leer, a la luz de los años pasados y de los acontecimientos sociales e incluso muy cercanos para mí, relacionados con la sociedad y la sexualidad, ha sido una experiencia muy interesante que agradezco a mi escuchante y suscríptor Antonio Castro-Guerrero. Muy agradecido, repito.

This lecture discusses the essay by the science fiction and fantasy author, Ursula K. Leguin, "About Anger, found in her book No Time To Spare: Thinking About What Matters. It discusses Leguin's reflections on the conditions in which anger can be a useful emotion in public, political, and private life, and on the dangers of treating anger uncritically as if it is always something good for dealing with injustice, abuse, exploitation, and threats. Leguin contrasts the early years of second-wave feminism and activism for gender justice and women's rights against the present time, in which anger isn't as useful a response. She also discusses anger's interrelation with other emotions such as jealousy, hatred, fear, and pain.

Exploring Five of the Most Famous Sci-Fi Books and What Makes Them Enduring ClassicsScience fiction has produced some of the most thought-provoking and imaginative works in literature, capturing readers with stories that delve into futuristic possibilities, ethical quandaries, and new dimensions of humanity. Let's dive into five of the genre's most iconic books, each of which has shaped sci-fi and attracted legions of fans for generations.Dune by Frank HerbertIn Frank Herbert's Dune, we enter the desert planet Arrakis, a place where sand stretches endlessly under twin moons and is governed by the powerful noble House Atreides. The story follows Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family caught in the middle of a galactic power struggle over the planet's most valuable resource—spice, a powerful substance with mind-altering and life-extending properties. This epic saga combines political intrigue, religion, environmental themes, and mysticism, making it one of the richest and most layered narratives in science fiction. Dune is celebrated for its intricate world-building and its profound exploration of themes like power, human survival, and ecology. It questions what leadership should mean and how we impact the environments we inhabit. Its popularity endures because of Herbert's visionary portrayal of a complex universe that still feels relevant, mirroring real-world issues around resources, religion, and human nature.1984 by George Orwell George Orwell's 1984 presents a chilling vision of a totalitarian future where "Big Brother" watches everyone, controlling not only actions but thoughts. Set in a dystopian society, the novel follows Winston Smith, an ordinary man who becomes disillusioned with the oppressive regime and tries to rebel, only to encounter the terrifying strength of the Party's psychological control. This novel introduced terms like “Big Brother,” “doublethink,” and “Newspeak,” which have entered common vocabulary as symbols of government surveillance and propaganda.The lasting appeal of 1984 lies in its eerie relevance. Orwell's portrayal of a society under constant surveillance, where truth is manipulated by those in power, resonates deeply in the modern world. The book's prescient warnings about the dangers of authoritarianism have made it a timeless work that speaks to readers across generations, providing a haunting look at the potential consequences of unchecked power.The War of the Worlds by H.G. WellsH.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds is one of the earliest and most influential novels depicting alien invasion. Set in Victorian England, the story recounts the terrifying arrival of Martians on Earth, who unleash their advanced technology and nearly wipe out humanity. The novel is told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator, chronicling the chaos and horror as humankind realizes its vulnerability to a superior extraterrestrial force.This groundbreaking novel captured the imagination of readers with its thrilling story and examination of human resilience. The War of the Worlds became famous not only for its terrifying depiction of extraterrestrial conflict but also for its commentary on colonialism and human arrogance. It has inspired countless adaptations and remains popular because it plays on universal fears of the unknown while questioning humanity's place in the universe.The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness transports readers to the planet Gethen, where its inhabitants are ambisexual, adopting different sexual roles at different times. The story follows Genly Ai, an envoy from Earth who arrives on Gethen to encourage the planet to join a galactic alliance. As he navigates this new society and its customs, he forms a deep, complex bond with a native named Estravan, confronting his own biases and preconceptions about gender and human connection.The Left Hand of Darkness is widely regarded as a masterwork for its revolutionary exploration of gender and identity, challenging traditional ideas about sexuality and relationships. Le Guin's nuanced world-building and empathetic character development have cemented the novel's place in sci-fi history. It's popular not only for its imaginative take on gender but also for its humanistic themes, which resonate with readers in an increasingly diverse world.Neuromancer by William GibsonIn Neuromancer, William Gibson introduces us to Case, a washed-up computer hacker hired for one last job—a job that pulls him into the depths of cyberspace and artificial intelligence. This novel helped establish the cyberpunk genre, blending a gritty, neon-lit future with themes of technology, virtual reality, and corporate control. Set in a world where humans can plug into cyberspace and manipulate data as they might physical objects, Neuromancer explores the intersection of humanity and technology.Neuromancer gained a devoted following for its groundbreaking portrayal of cyberspace, a term Gibson coined, and its exploration of how technology could shape identity, society, and reality itself. Gibson's bleak, fast-paced style resonated with readers who saw his dystopian vision as a natural extension of real-world trends. Its influence extends into modern sci-fi, helping shape the digital and cyberpunk aesthetics seen in countless films, games, and novels today.These five novels, each unique in its vision and impact, share an ability to transport readers to strange and fascinating worlds while holding a mirror up to our own. From exploring the nature of humanity in futuristic societies to asking questions about technology, power, and survival, these books remind us of science fiction's power to illuminate the human experience through the lens of the extraordinary. Aspiring sci-fi authors can look to these timeless works not just as stories, but as inspirations for expanding our understanding of what's possible—and of ourselves.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of Ursula K. Le Guin's classic The Dispossessed, we sit down for a chat with award-winning biographer and writer Julie Phillips, author of James Tiptree, Jr.: The Double Life of Alice B. Sheldon and The Baby on the Fire Escape: Creativity, Motherhood, and the Mind-Body Problem. Julie is currently at work on the authorized biography of Le Guin, and her insights from her research and her many discussions with Le Guin—not only regarding The Dispossessed but all aspects of her career, and on the challenges of writing biography—were so compelling that we ran a few minutes over our usual hour. We think it's well worth it, and wish we could have gone on even longer.

fWotD Episode 2716: Tomorrow Speculative Fiction Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 11 October 2024 is Tomorrow Speculative Fiction.Tomorrow Speculative Fiction was a science fiction magazine edited by Algis Budrys, published in print and online in the United States from 1992 to 1999. It was launched by Pulphouse Publishing as part of its attempt to move away from book publishing to magazines, but cash flow problems led Budrys to buy the magazine after the first issue and publish it himself. There were 24 issues as a print magazine from 1993 to 1997, mostly on a bimonthly schedule. The magazine was losing money, and in 1997 Budrys moved to online publishing, rebranding the magazine as tomorrowsf. Readership grew while the magazine was free to read on the web, but plummeted when Budrys began charging for subscriptions. In 1998 Budrys stopped acquiring new fiction, only publishing reprints of his own stories, and in 1999 he shut the magazine down.Tomorrow published many new writers, though few of them went on to successful careers. Well-known authors who appeared in the magazine included Gene Wolfe, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Harlan Ellison. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction lists The Mines of Behemoth, a novel by Michael Shea, and "Another Story", by Le Guin, as among the best work published in the magazine, but comments that Tomorrow was "rather less satisfying than one might have expected from Budrys: an uneven mix of the superior with the sufficient". Mark R. Kelly, a reviewer for Locus, described the stories as "workmanlike". Tomorrow was a finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine in 1994 and 1995.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:38 UTC on Friday, 11 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Tomorrow Speculative Fiction on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Olivia.

La editora de Circulo de Tiza, Eva Serrano ha explicado en 'La Ventana' su opinión sobre el enfrentamiento literario entre J. K Rowling y Úrsula K. Le Guin.
For such a slender volume, Ursula K. Le Guin's world changing novel, The Lathe of Heaven (1971), had enough going on to splinter off two different adaptations over time. Nate and Lizzy are joined by return guest Jonathan Franklin, and the trio chisels away at the layers of the book and the TV movies from 1980 (dir. David Loxton and Fred Barzyk) and 2002 (dir. Philip Haas). Join them as they spin out theories on dreams, taoism, art, and the illusion of control.

Forlaget A Mock Book udgiver Science Fiction på dansk. De kalder sig et forlag i tiden og udgiver bøger, der taler ind i vores planetariske krise. For dem giver spekulativ fiktion og scifi en særlig mulighed for at tænke og udfolde mulige fremtider. Det var mens DUNE kørte for fulde gardiner i biograferne. Jeg kom gående forbi Politikens Boghal, og så dem ligge der i vinduet: Nyudgivelser af Dune på dansk i et fedt nyt grafisk design. Hvad i alverden gik det ud på!? Det fandt vi ud af da vi inviterede Jacob og Karsten fra A Mock Book på besøg i SCIFI SNAK studiet. A Mock Book har begået en flot liste udgivelser, i det de kalder Gaia serien. Bøgerne er opdaterede nyudgivelser af klassiske værker fra Le Guin, Ballard og Herbert, men også mere spekulative nyere værker. Alt sammen med fokus på at give input til diskussion om planetens fremtid. Det taler ind i en tid, hvor scifi kommer mere på dagsordenen, fordi vi her kan finde ideer og tanker om, hvilke forandringer og løsninger vi står over for. Og til efteråret udgiver A Mock Book sågar klimakrisemanualen over dem alle: Kim Stanley Robinsons "Ministry for the future!" Lyt til en samtale, som giver spændende input til genrens relevans og indsigt i hvordan et mikroforlag opererer. Shownotes - Jacob og Karstens anbefaler: Jacob synes man skal læse: J.G. Ballards "Verden under vand" Karsten giver thumbs up til: Frank Schätzing's "Sværmen"

One big story about a complex patient. Books: Nixonland by Perlstein, The Lathe of Heaven by Le Guin
In the 1960s, Ursula K. le Guin represented a changing of the guard in science fiction literature. She was part of a generation of novelists who questioned the colonist mindset which had influenced American sci-fi for most of the 20th century. Le Guin came to this understanding not just as a moral stance or an intellectual exercise. Issues of racism and colonialism were personal to her. This episode, originally titled “The Word For Man Is Ishi,” comes from the podcast The Last Archive from Pushkin Industries hosted by Jill Lepore and Ben Naddaff-Hafrey.
