The Worm and the Ecologist: Experiencing Planetarity with Frank Herbert’s Dune by Pierre-Louis Patoine

“…This article explores how Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel Dune offers occasions for the development of an ecological, Gaian sensitivity, pushing the human sensorium towards the planetary (in relation to, and contradistinction to, the global, colonial, and imperial imaginaries) by using tools typical of fantasy and science fiction, such as world-building, immersion, sensationalism, terrain navigation, non-modern epistemologies, oneiric possession, geological actants, dragon-like giant sandworms, and human-eating birds. …”

Saer versus Aira: versões de uma antropologia especulativa by Antonio Marcos Pereira

“…The paper proposes a confrontation of the work of two authors, Juan José Saer and César Aira, markedly different in the structures of reception their works bring forth, and that we might translate particularly in the way their relationship with “the contemporary” is perceived, resulting in specific placings in certain genealogies and in the production of their respective inscriptions in recent literary history in Latin America. The examination of fictional objects such as Saer’s La pesquisa and Aira’s Parmenides leads one to find ambivalent solicitations of the allegedly historical fact and its relation to fiction that are hereby presented as oportunities to operate critically towards the structures of established reception and criticism of the work of both authors.…”
