She Unnames Them: When we get to know someone or something, well we sometimes use a special name, a nickname. A nickname is really a name over and above the name that something or someone already carries. i would say that, with the nick name we indicate our special relation to something or someone. We make our world knowable by giving names, or let us say assigning labels to them. However, nicknames and proper names serve a special function. In fact giving names is a most peculiar act. In order to explore the living relations that we maintain with the world we first need to un- name things. In the short story "She Unnames Them" the Science Fiction author Ursula Le Guin hints at what happens in un-naming. For me Ursula in her let's say story or whatever you say strives to say that after the unnaming she had discovered with surprise how close she felt to the creatures around her. They seemed far closer than when their names had stood between myself and them like a clear barrier: so close that my fear of them and their fear of me became one and the same fear. i don't know how much are you going to agree with my ideas. sometimes we need to hide our names to get more and detailed information about something or to protect ourselves from something. at the end of my word i would say that reflecting on words or names helps us to realize how closely related language is to thinking and to our ways of being in the world. i have two questions to you. But what occurs when we unname things is a question that is rarely asked. Can we truly erase the words we give to the things that are important to us? afer85@yahoo.com.au From Azerbaijan-Baku-The city ful of Petrolium and gas About things...

'She Unnames Them' is a short story written by Ursula K. Le Guin, and it tells us how after Adam received by God the mission and the power of giving name to the animals, Eve claims herself the choice to unname them, and the animals accept gladly this option, since the names Adam gave to them were generic and didn't feel identified with them. This story is interesting because it takes the concept of the male-centric world and the power always associated with the masculine gender and gives the woman the power of choice, and also the power to undo what her male counterpart did.
