L'œuvre de (science)-fiction d'Ursula K. Le Guin est internationalement connue. Elle s'accompagne de quelques essais qui en interrogent le contenu et permettent de mieux en comprendre les enjeux et les implications. Ce volume, qui rassemble 34 essais et conférences publiés entre 1976 et 1988, permettra aux lecteurs de pénétrer dans le monde de Le Guin, peuplé de mots, de femmes et de territoires, au miroir duquel se ‘réfléchit' le nôtre. On y retrouve son audace singulière qui n'hésite pas à mélanger les genres et à traiter tout à la fois de ménopause, de responsabilité sociale dans l'Empire nord-américain de la fin du XXe siècle, d'utopies littéraires ou de poésie des femmes indiennes. Ursula K. Le Guin, comme Philip K. Dick, fait partie des visionnaires de la littérature, qui méritent de figurer de plein droit au panthéon des grands écrivains du siècle.

A deep dive into the similarities between science fiction studies and critical posthumanism, this book establishes a common theoretical ground between the two fields upon which currents of future-oriented thought can meet and begin to share a common language. An investigation into the everyday condition of humanity in relation to technology and our perilous situation in the Anthropocene, the book features case studies of sci-fi authors Isaac Asimov, Ursula K. Le Guin and Kim Stanley Robinson, Doctor Who and the videogame Outer Wilds. Formulating a new critical paradigm which recognises the value of such works to posthumanist thought, it demonstrates that urgent discourses around our shared future are more imperative than ever.

Written not so long after "Tolkien mania" first gripped the United States in the 1960s, Ursula K. Le Guin's novel A Wizard of Earthsea (1968) has long been recognized as a classic of the fantasy genre, and the series of Earthsea books that followed on it over the next several decades earned its author both considerable sales and critical accolades. This new introduction to the text will closely contextualize the original novel in relation to its heady decade of composition and publication — a momentous time for genre publishing — and also survey the half century and more of scholarship on Earthsea, which has shifted in direction and emphasis many times over the decades, just as surely as Le Guin frequently adjusted her own sails when composing later works set in the fantasy world. Above all, this book positions A Wizard of Earthsea as perhaps an "old text" that nevertheless belongs in a "new canon," a key novel in the author's career and the genre in which it participates, and one that at once looks back to Tolkien and his own antecedents in masculinist early fantasy; looks forward to Le Guin's own continuing feminist and progressive education; and anticipates and indeed helped to shape young adult literature in its contemporary form. Timothy S. Miller is Assistant Professor of English at Florida Atlantic University, USA.
