Ursula K. Le Guin's narrative in The Dispossessed is set in a utopian society and raises questions about alternative modes of community. It carefully re-evaluates the contrasting principles of capitalism, authority and liberty. This seminar will examine the underlying syndicalist principles of Le Guin's Anarresti society as well as the literary qualities of the novel.
