Le Guin’s the word for world is forest. Trabajo Fin de Grado. Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED)https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14468/13295This work aims, from a primarily philosophical perspective, to analyse the intricate relationship between violence, politics and humanity in Ursula K. Le Guin’s novella The Word for World Is Forest. The analysis conducted is driven by a polemical intention, seeking to challenge or, at the least, nuance the universally accepted perception of Le Guin’s work as ‘pacifist’, while also highlighting her masterful ability to generate debate and reflection in the readers. This work seeks to put in dialogue the ovella’s narrative approach with various theoretical perspectives put forth by renowned philosophers, with particular emphasis on Walter Benjamin’s and Carl Schmitt’s ideas.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessbachelor thesisCarl SchmittThe Word for World Is ForestUrsula K.
