The Aesthetic Project of Modernity: a Study of Le Guin's Science Fiction
by Shaw Dana
About This Novel
Since the 1960s and 1970s, science fiction has transcended traditional realist literature and entered the fields of anthropology and cosmology from descriptions of technological imitation, becoming a global cultural phenomenon. In the evolution process of this creation, the "ambiguous" aesthetics characterized by blurred boundaries and inclusive centers gradually developed and formed. Taking the American science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin as an example, this book comprehensively examines five pairs of binary relationships in Le Guin's works: "past and future", "dreams and reality", "man and technology", "man and nature" and "Eastern and Western cultures". It refines and explains the concept of "ambiguous" aesthetics from the five dimensions of time and space, spirit, body, ecology and culture, thus proposing an aesthetic plan to capture the changing modernity.
