Changing the Rules: The Revolutionary Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin.
["A Wizard of Earthsea" and other works by Ursula K. Le Guin]
Ursula K. Le Guin not only wrote fantasy and science fiction – she redefined them. Instead of focusing solely on battles and wars, Le Guin used imagination to explore profound questions about gender, environment, politics, and identity (and yes, she was also the first to create a school for wizards).
In the lecture, we will embark on a journey between the islands of "Earthsea" and the distant planets of philosophical sci-fi, and understand how writing can challenge the way we perceive ourselves, others, and the nature around us.
Lecturer: Tomer Ben Aharon – translator, translated Ursula K. Le Guin's books into Hebrew and many others.
