Journal Article
Introduction: Looking Again
2021
Overview
In class, for those of us who are teachers, we do not teach reading but rather rerereading: how to go back to the text paying closer attention and posing a more challenging set of questions. Hay takes us through the decades-long sweep of future history and shows how it altered from its mid-century beginnings, in which Le Guin uncritically adopted the science fictional consensus about humanity spreading through the galaxy, through Cold War reexaminations such as The Word for World Is Forest and into postcolonial questioning even of the deliberately non-hierarchical and decentralized Ekumen. Establishing links with the actual history of the doomed Franklin expedition into Arctic seas as well as with Frankenstein and its Gothic lineage, Rhoads also makes reference to recent cultural and environmental changes that alter the way we read Simmons's tale.
