Abstract
Coming Home: Science Fiction, Trauma, and the Language of Hope aims to answer the questions of how we use narratives to recognize and transform traumatic pain born from physical and ideological repression under irrational authorities. This project utilizes the works of Ursula K. Le Guin and Philip K. Dick, particularly Left Hand of Darkness and Valis to understand the threat of nihilism and to offer hope for meaningful existence beyond it.
