Ursula K. Le Guin, Consent, and Metaphor

Kate Sheckler's book "Consent, and Metaphor" explores how the moment of consent determines the effects of metaphorical interchange, using the fiction of Ursula K. Le Guin and Paul Ricoeur as a theoretical focus. Sheckler identifies the dangers and necessity of understanding the interplay that determines by whom and at what point consent is offered, and how marginalized groups and cultures can be reconstructed in service to an outside force. She also notes the absolute necessity of metaphor as a constructive force in a world where we must imagine new ways to approach the future.
