dc.description.abstract | This paper will analyse the first trilogy of Frank Herbert’s Dune series (1965, 1969, 1976) from an ecocritical and ecofeminist perspective, exploring how the author’s choice of a harsh desert setting prompts the reader to engage with questions of ecology and the human relationship with nature from multiple and at times conflicting perspectives. The desert setting works to foreground the importance of the biosphere in the reader’s mind and serves as a means through which to explore the human/nature dualism and possible alternatives to it, while the transformations that the setting undergoes open questions about the appropriateness of human intervention in nature, including in already damaged environments. From an ecofeminist perspective, these transformations also function to highlight the need for changes in underlying narratives of instrumentalization and control over the environment and human groups associated with the category of nature. | es |
