nuovo episodio di Lore Lounge!

Un classico del fantasy a firma di una maestra del genere fantastico e speculativo: Ursula K. Le Guin.

L'arcipelago di Earthsea, con la sua ricchezza etnografia e le sottigliezze metafisiche è giustamente riconosciuto come un pilastro della narrativa per ragazzi e non solo.

A truly excellent bit of writing on "Those Who Walk Away from Omelas". I'm absolutely floored there are people out there who think it's a problem to be solved, rather than a call to examine one's complicity in harm #ursulaleguin #ursulakleguin

Ursula K. Le Guin was unique and ahead of her time, not only for her progressive stances and her ability to evolve as an author and as a person, but especially for the themes she explored. Having as their core the belief that change is achievable, no matter how much things seem to be set in stone, and that hope, growth, initiative, and resistance matter, making her work still extremely relevant today.

#Authority begets authority. Left to its own devices, authority will swallow up entire societies and everything in them.

Introduce "just a small amount" of authority, and it will create more authority to preserve its own existence, which will create more authority to create its own existence, which will create more...

An authority structure cannot be checked by anything from within the structure. Such a "check" would threaten the continued existence of the authority, while requiring the authority in order to function. They must be dismantled by the parts of the #society that they have not yet incorporated into themselves.

The hierarchies of our lives have hold of a great many aspects of our society, but not quite everything. They hide it well, often in plain sight, while attacking and threatening it with all their might. They meet #resistance every step of the way, and sometimes the resistance wins. We need to find these places and hold fast to them.

I don't believe that it's possible to totally and permanently eradicate #hierarchy. But I do believe that it's possible for anarchist #revolution to succeed, to reclaim society from hierarchy, to live free from its grasp and flourish as a society like never even imagined before while doing it. But hierarchy will always be a part of our #historical #memory, and its return in new forms will always be a threat to be vigilant of. Even a fully anarchist #world without a single #state or #capitalist #enterprise would still be an evolving, open, revolutionary world, in active defiance of hierarchy, if it is to remain free. This is the message of #TheDispossessed, by #UrsulaKLeGuin.

@jasonwyckoff only because I had to google Durruti but I know #UrsulaKLeGuin

#reading Ursula K. le Guins #ursulakleguin book #alwayscominghome which is offering me a playful look into a future though a non-narrative arc. An epic adventure in world building, with fully formed languages and houses and rituals. Gender roles are toyed with, #anticapitalist themes abound, and #morethanhuman relationships shape songs and ideas. The structure of the book tests my attention while also inviting me to create my own vision of the future.

One of my ❤️ authors, #ursulakleguin

#UrsulaKLeGuin packs so much epic scale into 217 pages she makes all other authors in the genre look positively wasteful. Amusingly, the alienness and untrustworthiness of the villainous Shing is shown by them holding what is recognisably a Zoom meeting, as written in 1967! #Bookstodon @bookstodon #SciFi #FinishedReading

Hab ich es nicht gesagt? Aber auf mich hört ja niemand. #Schatten
Ob dann demnächst auch einmal ein weiblicher Charakter auftaucht, der eine Bedeutung hat? Ist bisher schon wieder eine ziemliche Männerparade ...

“They had learned that the act of violence is the act of weakness and that the spirit’s strength lies in holding fast to the truth.”

#TheEyeoftheHeron
#UrsulaKLeGuin

finished "the eye of the heron"

oh well

cute little novella maybe

some exotic animals

no answers that i would have liked. the nice nonviolent tribe decides to compromise with the occupier / oppressor,
and some parts of the tribe flee.

but on our planet earth there is nowhere to run anymore. there is no wilderness left. it is all occupied.

Looks like Lavinia by #UrsulaKLeGuin has been translated into #Dutch. Cool! #books #SFF

Die Entwicklung des jungen Ged scheint von Schatten begleitet zu sein. Und ist Jasper wirklich garstig oder ist es nur Einbildung? Zugegeben, er weiß gut zu sticheln ... 🤔
