Hosted by the Writing in Transit Research Cluster at the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, this talk centres on Ursula Le Guin's writing set in the fictional realm of Orsinia, and "unimportant country of middle Europe", arguing that this critically neglected corpus indexes Le Guin’s career as a trajectory of sharpening self-awareness. Drawing from Gayatri Spivak, Donna Haraway and Katarzyna Murawska-Muthesius, Dr Rose explores ethnography and fictional “worlding” as relatedly fraught ways of “knowing” the other.
