Action Items - US Campaign for Palestinian Rights  Action Items - Jewish Voices for Peace This week was an extra week for October (yes, technically it's November, apologies, I've had some personal stuff going on), so we had our Patreon Patrons pick the book and they chose Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed. The novel is one of the six major novels of The Hainish Cycle. Though The Dispossessed is the sixth published book in the cycle, chronologically, the story takes place before the other novels.  Our main character, Shevek, is an Odonian physicist working on a theory - both mathematical and philosophical. When the government of A-Io offers Shevek an award and he is being prevented from publishing his work by a jealous superior on Anarres, he agrees to travel to Urras and continue working on his theory.

In this special episode, Tyler sat down with Jerusalem Demsas, staff writer at The Atlantic, to discuss three books: The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, and Of Boys and Men by Richard V. Reeves. Spanning centuries and genres and yet provoking similar questions, these books prompted Tyler and Jerusalem to wrestle with enduring questions about human nature, gender dynamics, the purpose of travel, and moral progress, including debating whether Le Guin prefers the anarchist utopia she depicts, dissecting Swift's stance on science and slavery, questioning if travel makes us happier or helps us understand ourselves, comparing Gulliver and Shevek's alienation and restlessness, considering Swift's views on the difficulty of moral progress, reflecting on how feminism links to moral progress and gender equality, contemplating whether imaginative fiction or policy analysis is more likely to spur social change, and more.

Shevek is a brilliant physicist, working on a new theory that may be as transformative and foundational as the work of Einstein. In pursuing his theory, he discovers that his dry homeworld of Anarres is not as free as he believed it to be. His society of anarchists has grown rigid, bureaucratic, and resistant to change in the years since the revolution. In order to pursue his work, he must leave Anarres and be the first to travel back to the deeply unequal, capitalist planet of Urras. Will Shevek succeed at completing his theory and igniting the fires of change? Or will he be consumed in the struggle for freedom?Join the Hugonauts book club on discord!Or you can watch the episode on YouTube if you prefer videoSimilar books we recommend: The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K.

Today on the show we've brought on Lee Shevek, an anarchist, writer, and domestic violence researcher. Pride Month is just around the corner and we thought it would be a good time to take a deep dive into the reactionary politics side of this show — namely, the attacks from the right wing and from the state against our transgender comrades. States like Texas, Florida, and Missouri are on the frontlines of this politicized aggression, which is being waged by the forces of right-wing reaction, but is often accomplished with the complicity, and sometimes even with the approval, from more liberal-leaning state and media institutions. In this episode, we investigate the state of anti-trans and transphobic reaction in the United States more broadly and explore how trans communities and their allies are responding.We also get into what anarchism teaches us about these struggles — specifically, what we can learn from this political philosophy about trans issues and gender issues more broadly, and why it's more important than ever for anarchists and those on the left to support trans people in their struggle for liberation from reactionary forces.

Publié en 1974, Les Dépossédés écrit par Ursula K. Le Guin est un chef d'oeuvre. Avec ce roman, Le Guin gagne le grand chelem des prix américains de la science-fiction ( le prix Hugo, Locus et Nebula).  Résumé : Deux mondes se font face : Anarres, peuplé deux siècles plus tôt par des dissidents soucieux de créer enfin une société utopique vraiment libre, même si le prix à payer est la pauvreté. Et Urras qui a, pour les habitants d'Anarres, conservé la réputation d'un enfer, en proie à la tyrannie, à la corruption et à la violence. Shevek, physicien hors normes, a conscience que l'isolement d'Anarres condamne son monde à la sclérose. Et, fort de son invention, l'ansible, qui permettra une communication instantanée entre tous les peuples de l'Ekumène, il choisit de s'exiler sur Urras en espérant y trouver une solution. Invité la saison précédente pour nous parler de La Main Gauche de la Nuit, David Meulemans éditeur Aux Forges de Vulcain est avec nous.  Les Dépossédés traduit par Henry-Luc Planchat est disponible au Livre de Poche. 

Our friend and comrade Hilary Strang joins us this week to discuss Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed (1974) and we’re talking about anarcho-communism and utopia. Hilary is the director of the MA Program in the Humanities at the University of Chicago and the co-host of the podcast Marooned on Mars with Matt and Hilary, about the works of Kim Stanley Robinson and leftism: https://anchor.fm/marooned-on-mars. The book is about the physicist Shevek and his encounters on the planet Urras, where he experiences egoizing on the part of “propertarians,” who are definitely bad guys because, you know, property. We discuss the sci-fi tradition of utopian worlds, anarchism and communism, the problems of scarcity/inequality, and the structure of the family. For more on Le Guin and utopia, we recommend Darko Suvin’s “Locus, Horizon, and Orientation: The Concept of Possible Worlds as a Key to Utopian Studies” from the journal Utopian Studies.

It did not look important - even a child could climb it. But the idea was real. Like all walls it was ambiguous, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on...' Shevek is brilliant scientist who is attempting to find a new theory of time - but there are those who are jealous of his work, and will do anything to block him. So he leaves his homeland, hoping to find a place of more liberty and tolerance. Initially feted, Shevek soon finds himself being used as a pawn in a deadly political game. With powerful themes of freedom, society and the natural world's influence on competition and co-operation, THE DISPOSSESSED is a true classic of the 20th century. Featuring a new introduction written and read by Roddy Doyle (p) The Orion Publishing Group Ltd 2019

Join us this month as we discuss Ursula K. Le Guin's anarchist utopian space novel, The Dispossessed! Overview With all this talk about walls, Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed is a timely masterpiece for science fiction. Her novel chronicles the physicist Shevek who travels from the utopian but inhospitable planet of Anarres for the earthly Urras where the landscape is verdant but capitalism and hierarchy dominate society’s mores. Rather than present a fable filled with hyperspace travel, exotic alien species, and intergalactic threats to peace, Le Guin utilizes the freedom of the genre to experiment with societal alternatives rather than provide our society with brash escapism. Shevek’s home planet of Anarres is an anarchist culture where possessive pronouns are nonexistent, play and work are indistinguishable, and nothing has a monetary value. But even this perfect world starts to reveal its limitations in the exclusionary practices of those who resist the planet’s groupthink. Shevek is seen as a threat to this egalitarian order where individual success is considered egoizing, and Shevek rebelliously heads to the nearby Urras to complete his theory on physics and time hoping that in his search for individual fulfilment he may also be able to save his community from becoming as close-minded as Urras’ propetarians. His odyssey to this vibrant planet finds freedoms never known to his people but at costs that precipitate global wars, amplify class privation, and objectify women with contemptible intensity. Urras’ focus on division rather than unity, possession instead of community forces Shevek to reevaluate his theory, his values, and what it means to communicate when the space inbetween may preclude ever being understood. Somehow, The Dispossessed manages to stuff Daoism, anarcho-syndicalism, quantum mechanics, vehement feminism, ecological tension, philosophical dualism, memorable characters, and hella good writing without ever sounding pedantic, patronizing, or preachy. It’s an accessible page-turner of a saga that tastefully retains the intrigue of novel ideas, technology, and locales without the need to flip back to the appendix every few pages.  For those that can’t stand science-fiction’s monolithic world-building but want an exploration of societal and political themes in a strange land, look no further! -Jordan Finn Show Notes This episode features the track "Dryspellcaster," from FUULS's EP, its a secret.

I sat down with Jeremy Bent to talk about Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed (1974). This is a riveting science fiction novel about two worlds & societies that have largely existed in isolation until the narrative present, and the story of the physicist, Shevek, who attempts to break down the walls between the two worlds. We talk about the ludicrous flights of fancy this book engages in, such as a society in which a minority of rich people live like kings while the majority are poor people with no prospects of upward mobility. Or, get this, the book posits an Earth that has depleted all its resources and is barely habitable! Jeremy is a hilarious improviser based in New York City, and also founded and performs on the sci-fi improv podcast Mission To Zyxx. Follow him on twitter at @JeremyMBent!

Tapes seem to be the theme this week, whether it's a new release available only on tape from Shevek, Ubek, or Sofia Ozdravovna, or if they are lost tapes of Ahmed Malek pressed to vinyl after 30 years away from the public, there's loads of tape-related sounds this week. We've also got lots of exciting new music from Swedish psych band Flowers Must Die, London's Kelly Lee Owens, and Russian punks Mirrored Lips.
