  • The Softer Side of Dune: the Impact of the Social Sciences on World-Building1 Kara Kennedy
    The Softer Side of Dune: The Impact of the Social Sciences on World-Building1 Kara Kennedy ABSTRACT: Looking at Dune as one of the bridges between the ‘hard’ science fiction of the 1950s and the ‘soft’ science fiction of the New Wave, it is significant that author Frank Herbert chooses to create a world where technological prowess is not the focus, where the culture is still haunted by the Butlerian Jihad, when machines were used to enslave humankind. This historical context justifies an attitude of suspicion and fear toward technology, which then enables Herbert to concentrate on making a universe centered on the development of the human mind and body. In the Imperium, then, new orders of enhanced humans seem necessary and natural, including the Mentats, with their logical, computer-like functions; and the Spacing Guild, with its enhanced Navigators who alone can guide ships traveling through space. Furthermore, having already set up suspicion about the stereotypically male-dominated realm of technology, Herbert is perhaps better positioned to realistically depict the most powerful order in the novel, the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, as an all-female one, whose ‘soft’ power over society is significant, from the gom jabbar test to Truthsaying to the Voice. Yet Herbert still places all of these new orders in a familiar feudal governing structure with emperors and family clans to maintain a link with real-world institutions. Ultimately, Herbert relies heavily on the social sciences to create a world focused on the development of the human mind and body rather than technology, and proves that a focus on the human offers a tremendous opportunity for building an interesting and believable universe.

  • The Blackness of Liet-Kynes: Reading Frank Herbert's Dune Through
    religions Article The Blackness of Liet-Kynes: Reading Frank Herbert’s Dune Through James Cone Peter Herman Theology & Religious Studies, Marymount University, Arlington, VA 22207, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 August 2018; Accepted: 17 September 2018; Published: 18 September 2018 Abstract: Frank Herbert’s landmark science fiction novel Dune has received numerous sequels, prequels, and film treatments. Detailing the saga of humanity’s far future beyond our present solar system, the work plays successfully with religious, political, and ecological themes. This essay deals with the social/theological implications of two figures within the story-world of Dune: Its protagonist and visible hero, Paul Atreides/Muad’Dib and the lesser figure of the “Imperial Planetologist” Dr. Kynes, also known to the Fremen as “Liet”. By reading these two figures through the theology of James Cone, we discover that the obvious hero is not a messianic figure but a demonic one. Further, it is the lesser character of Liet-Kynes who actually fulfills the messianic role in Cone’s theological system. This essay is preceded by and makes use of Jeremy Ian Kirk’s work with the film Avatar that provides similar analysis. Where Kirk’s principal concern is with the ethical considerations of Avatar, this essay will more closely bear on Cone’s dynamic of redemption and conversion, specifically his notion of dying to white identity to be reborn in blackness. Keywords: theology; whiteness; black liberation; liberation theology; soteriology; salvation 1. Introduction Frank Herbert’s six Dune novels provide an amazing and detailed view of a possible future for the human race among the stars.1 The world-building in which he engaged spans thousands of years and billions of miles in his speculative future version of our known universe.2 Religion, specifically the often cynical manipulations of the Bene Geserit Sisterhood, plays a role in the narrative.

  • Foundation and Dune
    Mythmoot III: Ever On Proceedings of the 3rd Mythgard Institute Mythmoot BWI Marriott, Linthicum, Maryland January 10-11, 2015 Foundation and Dune or, Hari Seldon and the Golden Path Neil A. Ottenstein and Phillip Menzies Introduction The idea of there being a similarity between the Dune novels by Frank Herbert and Foundation series by Isaac Asimov became apparent during one of the Mythgard Academy classes on Dune led by Corey Olsen. During this class we examined in great detail what Paul Atreides was experiencing when his ability to see the future started to surface in his consciousness. In describing the mechanics of Paul’s view of the future it became clear that Paul was not “seeing” the future in any kind of mystical way. This view of seeing the future reminded some participants in the class of Psychohistory as put forward by Hari Seldon in the Foundation series. In this series Psychohistory was entirely based upon science and mathematics once again totally unrelated to mysticism or magic in any way. This paper will look at these two methods of foretelling or predicting the future by describing and comparing what was experienced by Paul and the Psychohistorians. It will also examine the mechanics of “seeing” the future. We are able to do this because these abilities were rational based on science, mathematics, observation and extrapolation and totally explainable unlike magic or metaphysical forces. Both novels also described limitations to seeing the future by showing that some things were not able to be seen and anticipated. We will examine this by venturing into the sequel Foundation and Empire.

    T. Meza 1 Hugvísindasvið The Bene Gesserit in Frank Herbert’s Dune An analysis. Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Luis Felipe Torres Meza December 2010 T. Meza 2 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska The Bene Gesserit in Frank Herbert’s Dune An Analysis. Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs. Luis Felipe Torres Meza Kt.: 250786-3959 Leiðbeinendur: Matthew Whelpton og Valgerður Guðrún Bjarkadóttir December 2010 T. Meza 3 Abstract. The following is a work of literary analysis involving Frank Herbert’s Dune, which is the first published tome of what later became known as the Dune Chronicles. The Chronicles comprise six books authored by Frank Herbert many of which are referred to here, but this work centres only on Dune. This literary analysis focuses on the Bene Gesserit, an organization of women which plays a large part in the development of Herbert’s novel. The main objective of the discussion is to describe this conglomerate of characters and analyse it as one single collective character with its own story and its own characteristics in order to expand the understanding of Dune. Although much work about this science fiction novel exists today, the implications of the Bene Gesserit have not been adequately discussed. There are critics who condemn Herbert’s depiction of women in his universe based on the comparison of power between the novel’s protagonist hero, Paul Atreides and his Bene Gesserit counterparts. Another important tendency in Dune criticism is the inaccurate view that limits the understanding of the Bene Gesserit as a religious organization, although Dune itself provides readers with evidence to the contrary.

  • Matter Poetics, Melange and the Lichenised Posthuman
    Harriet Fidkin Journal article Destination – e-flux Matter Poetics, Melange and the Lichenised Posthuman - How Artists and Writers Present Visions of an Interconnected Life Between Man and Non-Human Others in the Age of the Anthropocene. A microscopic being changing the socioeconomic structure of societies worldwide is forcing us to confront our porosity. Covid-19 permeating and altering the bodies of so many begs the question – have we ever been individuals? Matter Poetics, Melange and the Lichenised Posthuman interrogates the ways in which our entangled existence is presented within science fiction media, using Frank Herbert’s seminal work Dune (1965) and the fictional mind-altering drug Melange to frame a discursive speculation surrounding the holobiotic existence of all Earthlings. Alternative theories surrounding symbiosis, taxonomy, mortality and consciousness expansion are sketched, calling for a reconsideration of what constitutes “the human” in such perilous times for the planet. The text examines literature, film, conceptual art and philosophical meditations. The mycelial practices of Jae Rhim Lee and Jordon Belson, the posthuman ideologies of Drew Milne, Donna Haraway and Lynn Margulis, and Alex Garland’s Annihilation (2018) are explored; thoughts and arguments, like matter, are scattered amorphously. Covid-19 restructuring the way we live our lives has made many more of us realise the fragility of the human condition. Science fiction is and always has been intertwined with our realities- can such speculations help us escape our dystopian reality by facilitating a re-evaluation of our inextricable connection to the natural world? (though inessential, a base level knowledge of herbert’s duniverse will help with the understanding of this text) duniverse – the fictional universe in which herbert’s dune is set Key words – Symbiosis, Dune, Mycelium, Anthropocene, Science-Fiction.
