Senses of the Ending

Abstract

The contribution presents an ecofeminist analysis on Science Fiction and its relation to the political imaginary of a way out from the ecological crisis. Considering three novels from Mary Shelley, Margaret Atwood and Ursula K. Le Guin, it explores the possibilities and contradictions in «worlding» literary counter-narratives in relation to the hegemonic representation of the apocalypse during capitalist realism.
