Gaia Is No Loser: Planetarity Beyond Competition in Ursula Le Guin’s Vaster Than Empires and More Slow
Ursula K. Le Guin's 1970 short story Vaster than Empires and More Slow stages a group of scientists exploring a planet covered by a sentient vegetal network. The meeting between this group, steeped in interpersonal conflict, and the planetary sentience invites us to question agonistic visions of social life – visions in which competition appears as a “natural law” pruning the losers and letting the fittest thrive.
期刊介绍:
La Revue Française d"Études Américaine, fondée en 1976, analyse un large éventail de questions relevant des études nord-américaines, dans le champ des lettres, des arts, des sciences sociales et humaines. La RFEA offre un lieu de débat sur la recherche en études nord-américaines ; son comité de rédaction indépendant sélectionne des articles inédits de caractère scientifique qui relèvent d"une approche disciplinaire ou transdisciplinaire et présentent les résultats d"une recherche théorique, empirique, ou d"une réflexion critique.
