espanolEste articulo examina tres novelas canadienses contemporaneas basadas en la sociedad del riesgo global usando un modo ficticio especulativo que inquiere: «?Que pasaria si?» The Marrow Thieves (2017), de Cherie Dimaline, y Nostalgia (2016), de M.G. Vassanji, imaginan sociedades distopicas devastadas por el cambio climatico para analizar los ideales humanistas del Progreso. Fifteen Dogs (2015), de Andre Alexis, usa la fabula animal para abordar que significa ser un animal mortal. Cada una profundiza en las implicaciones de una conciencia de riesgo para la agentividad y la etica: para los pueblos indigenas en The Marrow Thieves; para los habitantes de Toronto en el contexto de un apartheid global intensificado en Nostalgia; y para los perros que luchan con una inteligencia humana otorgada por Dios en el Toronto contemporaneo de Fifteen Dogs. Al negociar el riesgo, cada ficcion recurre al papel de la memoria, la creatividad y las formas alternativas de subjetividad y comunidad para garantizar la supervivencia. Las tres narrativas dan pasos sutiles, aunque necesarios, hacia futuros alternativos con la habilidad de imaginar de una forma distinta. EnglishThis paper examines three contemporary Canadian novels that depict global risk society through a speculative fictional form that asks the question “What if?” Cherie Dimaline’s The Marrow Thieves (2017) and M.G Vassanji’s Nostalgia (2016) imagine dystopian worlds ravaged by climate change to critique humanist ideals of Progress. Andre Alexis’s Fifteen Dogs (2015) uses the animal fable to address what it means to be a mortal animal. Each asks what an awareness of risk means for agency and ethics: for Indigenous people in The Marrow Thieves; for Torontonians in the context of a heightened global apartheid in Nostalgia; and for dogs wrestling with a god-granted human intelligence in the contemporary Toronto of Fifteen Dogs. In negotiating risk, each fiction turns to the roles of memory, creativity, and alternative forms of subjectivity and community in ensuring survival. Each novel finds fragile yet necessary steps toward alternative futures in the ability to imagine otherwise.
