Autour de "Les Dépossédés, Ursula Le Guin (1974)"
Comment une personne ne connaissant qu’un modèle anarchiste de société jugerait un monde régi par le libéralisme effréné? Une idéologie peut-elle à la fois affecter un individu, façonner sa psyché et informer son langage? Oui, répond à ces deux questions l’écrivaine américaine dans ce roman qui dissèque l’égalitarisme et le capitalisme dans leurs similitudes et contradictions.
Invité : Christian Arnsperger, Professeur en durabilité et anthropologie économique au sein de l'Institut de géographie et durabilité (IGD) de la Faculté des géosciences et de l'environnement (FGSE) à l’Université de Lausanne, auteur de Écologie intégrale: pour une société permacirculaire (avec Dominique Bourg, PUF, 2017) et Éthique économique et sociale (avec Philippe Van Parijs, La Découverte, 2003)
Join us for this 'bookshelf' episode as we discuss the books we've been reading outside of book club. In this episode Kate gets tied up in existential knots over House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas and we consider the parallels between this 800-page fantasy bonkbuster and War and Peace. We explore the idea of ‘reading offsetting’ whereby we balance our guilty pleasures with books more worthy of our time. We rediscover the Queen of Fantasy Ursula Le Guin and remember why we think her books are so amazing. Kate pronounces ‘Don’t Touch My Hair’ by Emma Dabiri her new favourite book of the year. And we end with an excursion into Arctic landscapes and consider moving to Svaallbad where apparently you don’t need a visa!
