	1) It can be argued that science fiction, no matter how alien its cultures, more often than not describes the painful process by which people come to understand themselves and each other. In [[Ursula K. Le Guin]]’s 1978 introduction to ''[[Planet of Exile]]'', she writes that the “central, constant theme” of her work is “[[marriage]].” [[Geoff Ryman]]’s ''[[Lust]]'' (2001) is a more sexually explicit thought experiment regarding wish fulfillment fantasies and consent. In this paper, the work of ~~LeGuin~~ and Ryman will be discussed in light of [[Kate Millet]]’s groundbreaking ''[[Sexual Politics]]'' (1969) and more contemporary works such as psychotherapist Anne Wilson ~~Schaef’s~~ Escape From Intimacy (1989) and psychologist Brenda ~~Schaeffer’s~~ Loving Me, Loving You: Balancing Love and Power in a Codependent World (1991) and Is It Love Or Is It Addiction? (1997). — [[William Alexander]]		1) It can be argued that science fiction, no matter how alien its cultures, more often than not describes the painful process by which people come to understand themselves and each other.

	2) [[Ursula K. Le Guin]]'s recent [[Earthsea series\|Earthsea fiction]], ''[[Tales From Earthsea]]'' and ''[[The Other Wind]]'', drastically [[retellings\|revises]] the cosmological and historical narrative established in her original trilogy. The [[high fantasy]] genre takes much of its rhetorical authority from a sense of ancient tradition, and genre fans are legendary for their ability to nitpick flaws in continuity. I propose to examine Le Guin's narrative rhetoric as she negotiates this challenge and subjects her own world-building to critique. — [[Sandra Lindow]]		2) [[Ursula K.
