Susret sa drugim u naučnofantastičnim delima Ursule Le Gvin

Abstract

Predmet ove disertacije je način na koji je u naučnofantastičnim delima Ursule Le Gvin prikazan susret sa Drugim. Cilj nam je bio da utvrdimo koje su to važne karakteristike kojima autorka Drugog opisuje, kako on izgleda, kako se ponaša, šta predstavlja, kao i kakvi se stereotipi javljaju u oba smera, između pripadnika dve različite vrste/rase/naroda, pa i dva različita pola. Ovo smo pokušali da postignemo analizom njenih romana i priča, ali i upoređivanjem sa teorijskim navodima autora iz oblasti teorije naučnofantastične književnosti, postkolonijalnih studija, sociologije i psihologije. U analizu su uključeni sledeći romani ove autorke, i oni predstvljaju korpus ovog istraživanja: Rokanonov svet (Rocannon's World, 1966), Planeta izgnanstva (Planet of Exile, 1966), Grad opsena (City of Illusions, 1967), Leva ruka tame (The Left Hand of Darkness, 1969), Čovek praznih šaka (The Dispossessed, 1974), Svet se kaže šuma (The Word for World is Forest, 1976) i Pričanje (The Telling, 2000), kao i nekoliko odabranih pripovedaka iz zbirki pripovedaka Dvanaest četvrti vetra (The Wind’s Twelve Quarters, 1975), Četiri puta do oproštaja (Four Ways to Forgiveness, 1995) i Rođendan sveta (The Birthday of the World, 2002)...

The subject of this dissertation is the way in which encounter with the Other is depicted in the science fiction works of Ursula Le Guin. The aim of the thesis was to establish how the author describes the Other, what his important physical and mental characteristics are and which stereotypes occur in both directions between members of different species/races/peoples and sexes. We tried to achieve this by analyzing her novels and stories and by comparing them with theoretical works from the fields of science fiction, postcolonial studies, sociology and psychology. We analyzed the following novels, and they are the corpus of this research: Rocannon's World (1966), Planet of Exile (1966), City of Illusions (1967), The Left Hand of Darkness (1969), The Dispossessed (1974), The Word for World is Forest (1976) and The Telling (2000), as well as several stories from the following story collections The Wind’s Twelve Quarters (1975), Four Ways to Forgiveness (1995) and The Birthday of the World (2002)...
