Le Guin, social science-fiction, and altertopias Miguel Vale de Almeida Antropología altertopia ethnography Ursula Le Guin science fiction Ethnography-based Anthropology and Science Fiction can engage in a productive dialogue since both address what is proposed as “altertopias”. Utopias, dystopias, and cultural alterity share the possibility of imagining social and cultural organizations different from both those of the authors and those of the readers. These imaginations are intrinsically creative/artistic and political at the same time, and they critique power structures, especially when approached through a feminist stance. Inspired by the literary work of Ursula Le Guin, the article takes this further by experimenting with the inclusion of a fictional piece of “Social science fiction” that itself plays on Le Guin’s themes. 2023 artículo científico 0104-7183 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=401976171005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401976171005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401976171005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401976171005/401976171005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401976171005/movil 10.1590/1806-9983e670404 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4019 Horizontes Antropológicos application/pdf Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Horizontes Antropológicos (Brasil) Num.67 Vol.29 |
