Generating Climate Healing And Ecological Change: The Power Of Post-apocalyptic Spirituality In Octavia E. Butler’s Parable Of The Sower
Authors : Chebel Meriem .
Abstract
Octavia E. Butler stresses the importance of spirituality in rebuilding the connection between humans and the natural world they live in. In her postapocalypic novel, Parable of the Sower, the promoted religion is that of Lauren Olamina, which allows the necessity of reconnecting the human with Earth and its ecosystems in a constructive way. Earthseed, Lauren’s religion, celebrates a “God of Change” who changes according to the changes humanity and nature go through. The principles of Earthseed endorse a culture of evolution and economic equality. They encompass adaptability, resilience, and diversity.
