  • Chapterhouse: Dune Frank Herbert April 1985 Those Who Would Repeat
    Chapterhouse: Dune Frank Herbert April 1985 Those who would repeat the past must control the teaching of history. -Bene Gesserit Coda When the ghola-baby was delivered from the first Bene Gesserit axlotl tank, Mother Superior Darwi Odrade ordered a quiet celebration in her private dining room atop Central. It was barely dawn, and the two other members of her Council -- Tamalane and Bellonda -- showed impatience at the summons, even though Odrade had ordered breakfast served by her personal chef. "It isn't every woman who can preside at the birth of her own father," Odrade quipped when the others complained they had too many demands on their time to permit of "time-wasting nonsense." Only aged Tamalane showed sly amusement. Bellonda held her over-fleshed features expressionless, often her equivalent of a scowl. Was it possible, Odrade wondered, that Bell had not exorcised resentment of the relative opulence in Mother Superior's surroundings? Odrade's quarters were a distinct mark of her position but the distinction represented her duties more than any elevation over her Sisters. The small dining room allowed her to consult aides during meals. Bellonda glanced this way and that, obviously impatient to be gone. Much effort had been expended without success in attempts to break through Bellonda's coldly remote shell. "It felt very odd to hold that baby in my arms and think: This is my father," Odrade said. "I heard you the first time!" Bellonda spoke from the belly, almost a baritone rumbling as though each word caused her vague indigestion. She understood Odrade's wry jest, though.

  • The Working Planetologist Speculative Worlds and the Practice of Climate Science
    Chapter 2: The Working Planetologist Speculative Worlds and the Practice of Climate Science Katherine Buse In a 2010 editorial in the journal Nature, the climate scientist and Executive Direc- tor of the International Geosphere–Biosphere Programme, Sybil Seitzinger, ar- gues that scientists ought to be more centrally involved in international policy dis- cussions about sustainable development. “In Frank Herbert’s 1965 science-fiction classic Dune,” she writes, “the number-one position on the planet is held not by a politician, but by a planetary ecologist” (Seitzinger 2010: 601). Seitzinger invokes Herbert’s novel here to make a pointed comparison. In Dune, the inhabitants of the planet Arrakis are engaging in a long-term terraforming project that neces- sitates the oversight of a planetary ecologist. But here on Earth, we too have been making such changes, “altering, in profound and uncontrolled ways, key biologi- cal, physical and chemical processes of ecosystems.” For Seitzinger, grappling re- sponsibly with these processes requires a global, far-sighted perspective that she finds lacking in most Earth politicians. She advises that, while the governments of Earth have not yet considered appointing a planetary ecologist, “perhaps it is time to take the idea seriously.” And she is dead serious, both as a worried scientist and policy analyst, and also as a reader of Dune. Although she discusses the novel explicitly only in the first and last sentences of her editorial, Seitzinger does not invoke Dune merely to provide a bit of ‘science communication’ flavor to entertain Nature’s interdisciplinary read- ership. After all, the perspective she takes in the editorial is profoundly similar to Frank Herbert’s vision in Dune: both pragmatic and theoretical, it subsumes socio-political concerns as components of a planetary ecological model.

  • QUESTIONS on BOOK TWO Professor Corey Olsen Mythgard Institute Questions on Book Two
    QUESTIONS ON BOOK TWO Professor Corey Olsen Mythgard Institute Questions on Book Two 1. The Irulan Oeuvre, Book II In My Father’s House (3) Conversations with Muad’Dib (1) Arrakis Awakening (2) Manual of Muad’Dib (2) A Child’s History of Muad’Dib (1) Muad’Dib: Conversations (1) Private Reflections on Muad’Dib (1) The Wisdom of Muad’Dib (2) Collected Sayings of Muad’Dib (1) Muad’Dib, the Man (1) Questions on Book Two 2. Untold Stories (Matt Shaw) Like Tolkien, Herbert hints at reams of history and back-story in brief passages: “It reads like the Azhar Book, she thought, recalling her studies of the Great Secrets. Has a Manipulator of Religions been on Arrakis?” Manipulator of Religions? That sounds vaguely awesome. Not to mention that “Great Secrets” is capitalized, which suggests much. My quick take: In the Dune universe, every meeting is a test and every conversation is a performance. They’re not much for the small talk. Or perhaps they favor Small Talk. Questions on Book Two 3. The Polyglot World (Yves de Gennip) Thinking back about the discussion about the OC Bible in one of the lectures, I was reminded of my own impressions when reading Dune for the first time back in my teens. Being Dutch, clearly I couldn’t help but wondering if the “orange” part had anything to do with The Netherlands (which, indirectly, it has, if the connection with Protestantism is a valid one, as discussed in the lecture). This feeling was only enforced by the word “Landsraad”, which is a Dutch word, or, more accurately, it is a combination of two Dutch words, “land” (which in itself could of course also be English) and “raad” (council).

  • Terror Ecology: Secrets from the Arrakeen Underground
    Terra‐&‐Terror Ecology: Secrets from the Arrakeen Underground Nandita Biswas Mellamphy Western University, Canada It is […] vital to an understanding of Muad'Dib’s religious impact that you never lose sight of one fact: the Fremen were a desert people whose entire ancestry was accustomed to hostile landscapes. Mysticism isn’t difficult when you survive each second by surmounting open hostility […]. With such a tradition, suffering is accepted […]. And it is well to note that Fremen ritual gives almost complete freedom from guilt‐feelings. This isn’t necessarily because their law and religion were identical, making disobedience a sin. It is likely closer to the mark to say they cleansed themselves of guilt easily because their everyday existence required brutal (often deadly) judgments which in a softer land would burden men with unbearable guilt. Dune I (576‐77) This world, which is the same for all, no one of gods or men has made. But it always is, was, and will be an ever‐living Fire, igniting and extinguishing in equal measure. Heraclitus Fragments (DK B30) [F]orm is nothing but holes and cracks […] with a nature that has no hardness or solidity. Ancient Buddhist saying. Frank Herbert’s science‐fiction classic Dune1 is a literary work about political, religious, military and ecological design: a design in which Dune’s desert‐planet is, like fire, a perpetually self‐consuming political, religious, military and ecological topos and in which human beings— among other things like water, sand‐worms and religious doctrines—are the fodder that fuels what could be called the ‘Great Ecology’ of planetary regeneration and desertification.

  • 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.

What should we say if Mr. Smith does not think that Marxism has no place? But since Marxists are constantly repeating our criticisms based upon an old Marxist theory they must explain why anything can become 'a mistake.' To avoid having been mistaken for ideology by insisting there was never something inherently wrong within ourselves — i) simply making people look like all those left oversploitation theorists have done throughout their life while still living today because you were just too smart against capitalism….The big difference between theories regarding democracy and political affairs depends primarily solely ultimately on how different individuals perceive themselves compared also using various tactics – both psychological warfare(i.e.: physical intimidation)(ii).

  • The Bene Gesserit in Frank Herbert's Dune
    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.

In contemporary terms, its existence is as of yet undecided, and it is unclear whether we will ever be able to offer a satisfying conclusion to the matter. What we can do, however, is to discuss free will in a more easily digestible frame of reference, like that of Dune. Being a science-fiction novelist, Frank Herbert had the opportunity to play around with a number of interesting topics, and it is my goal to discuss a very particular one: determinism. By describing Dune as deterministic, I will create a framework for the central problem of this thesis: is it possible for a deterministic subject to develop free will? The notion that something like free will might arise in a purely deterministic universe is a curious one, not least because it is not something we often come across.
