fantasyguide<p>Der Kurzurlaub an der Ostsee neigt sich dem Ende. Außer Strandwanderungen und Lesen stand nix auf dem Plan, nur Handy war dabei.<br>Hab tatsächlich dann heute Buch Nummer Vier ausgelesen und auch Die Geißel des Himmels von Ursuka K. Le Guin hat mich gefesselt. Der Roman fing etwas beschaulich an, wurde dann aber immer finsterer, obwohl die Hauptfigur ultra gelassen blieb. Die Idee ist cool und ich bin beeindruckt, dass die Autorin daraus etwas so feinfühliges schuf.<br>Hatte der Anfang für mich nicht versprochen.</p><p>Diesen Roman hätte ich ohne den Carcosa Verlag nie gelesen.

AndreasDavour<p>I'm reading *The Dispossessed* for the first time. Yeah, I know I'm late to the party...</p><p>It's a set of very weird worlds she's portraying in this book. I find the culture on Anarres revolting in it's insularity, and groupthink. At the same time the misogynism expressed by the people on Urras is just as disgusting. </p><p>It really isn't a clear cut ideal, any of them. Classic Le Guin making things more complex than you first imagine.

Gorka Julio<p><strong>Familia eta komunitate mota alternatiboak ZiFian</strong></p><p>Zientzia-fikzioak familia eta komunitate mota ugari aztertu ditu, eredu tradizionalei aurre eginez eta gizarte alternatiboak irudikatuz. Hauek dira orainaldian inspirazio iturri izan daitezkeen adibideetako batzuk:</p><p><strong><strong>Ursula K. Le Guinen esperimentu komunitarioak</strong></strong></p><p>Le Guinek familia eta komunitate egitura ezberdinak aztertu zituen bere obran. <em>The Dispossessed</em> eleberrian, gizarte anarkista bat aurkezten du Anarres planetan, non familia biologikoak ez duen hainbesteko garrantzirik, eta antolakuntza kolektiboagoa den. <em>The Left Hand of Darkness</em> lanean, Gueden planetako biztanleak androginoak dira eta sexua alda dezakete; ondorioz, familia-antolaketa guztiz desberdina da, genero-rol finkorik gabea. <em>The Word for World Is Forest</em> (<em>Oihan hitzean mundua </em>bezala euskaratua) eleberrian, gizartea kooperazioan eta indarkeriarik ezan oinarritzen da. Bertan, familia nuklear tradizionalik ez dago, haurren hazkuntza komunala da, eta guraso-rolak ez daude modu hertsian definituta.</p><p><strong><strong><em>Diamond Age</em>-ko <em>phyle</em>-ak (Neal Stephenson)</strong></strong></p><p>Eleberri honetan, Stephensonek <em>phyle</em> kontzeptua aurkezten du: lurralde edo ahaidetasun biologikoaren ordez, balioen, interesen edo kulturaren arabera antolatutako komunitate globalak. <em>Phyle</em>-ak klan moderno gisa funtzionatzen dute, kideei hezkuntza, segurtasuna eta egonkortasuna eskainiz, eta mundu postnazional bateko gizarte-antolaketa modu nagusia bihurtzen dira.</p><p><strong><strong><em>Embassytown</em>-eko txanda-gurasoak (China Miéville)</strong></strong></p><p>Eleberriak <em>shiftparents</em> (txanda-gurasoak) kontzeptua aurkezten du, familia-egitura ez-konbentzionala, non hainbat guraso-figurak gurasotasuna partekatzen duten. Eredu horrek familia nuklear tradizionalaren aurrean babes komunitarioko eta malgutasunezko eredu bat proposatzen du, giza eta estralurtarren arteko gizarte-harremanak irudikatuz. Hizkuntzak ere paper zentrala du nobelan.</p><p><strong><strong><em>Binti</em> tribua (Nnedi Okorafor)</strong></strong></p><p><em>Binti</em> eleberriko protagonista Lurreko Himba komunitate batetik dator, familia-lotura sendoak eta tradizioan oinarritutako egitura mantentzen dituenetik. Bere bidaian zehar, beste komunitate-forma batzuekin egiten du topo, baita izaki estralurtarrekin ere, elkar-ulermenean eta eraldaketan oinarritutako ahaidetasun sinbiotiko mota bat garatuz.</p><p><strong><strong><em>The Fifth Season</em>-eko <em>comm</em>-ak (N.K. Jemisin)</strong></strong></p><p><em>Comm</em> bakoitzak komunitate estu bat bezala funtzionatzen du, non kide bakoitzak zeregin zehatz bat duen. Egitura hau funtsezkoa da taldearen biziraupenerako, batez ere baldintza apokaliptikoetan. Harreman aniztasun handia dago, eta Jemisinek kasten eta botere-harremanen inguruko lanketa sakona egiten du nobelan.</p><p>Hauek dira adibide batzuk; asko utzi ditut bidean.

By synthesizing insights from these diverse sources, this study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of how aesthetics can be leveraged to promote degrowth as a viable and desirable economic alternative. Additionally, it seeks to inform future interventions by providing concrete examples and strategies for promoting degrowth in ways that resonate with diverse audiences, ultimately helping a sustainable and equitable society become more imaginable."</p><p><a href="https://scholarworks.calstate.edu/concern/theses/mg74qv204" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">scholarworks.calstate.edu/conc</span><span class="invisible">ern/theses/mg74qv204</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a></p>

Le Guin ha affermato che il maggiore Davidson in "The Word for World is Forest" incarna quello che il subconscio di lei considera il male assoluto, per quanto lei consciamente pensi che non esistano persone puramente malvagie. Il punto è che Davidson è "meramente" un uomo misogino, razzista e classista con formazione pseudo-STEM militare: nella prospettiva anarchica di Le Guin, lui È il male storicizzato.</p>
