Le Guin, Consent, and Metaphor, Kate Sheckler constructs a new method to categorize metaphor, arguing that the moment of consent that exists in the form determines the effects of the interchange. Using the fiction of Ursula K. Le Guin, with the work of Paul Ricoeur as a primary theoretical focus, Sheckler identifies both the dangers and necessity of understanding the interplay that determines by whom and at what point consent is offered within the dynamic shift that occurs in metaphor. In doing so, she identifies the way marginalized groups and cultures can be reconstructed in service to an outside force and notes the absolute necessity of metaphor as a constructive force in a world where we must imagine new ways to approach the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: With Respect to the Future\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: The Edge of the World: The Unknown as Metaphor in The Left Hand of Darkness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Only Means: Governance and Metaphor in The Dispossessed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: My Sister, My Brother, My Other: The Alien in The Eye of the Heron and Four Ways to Forgiveness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Something from Nothing: Acts of Creation in Le Guin’s The Telling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Risky Futures \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041999683927,"sku":"9781666904871","price":65.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666904871.jpg?v=1750952558","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ursula-k-le-guin-consent-and-metaphor-9781666904871","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
