The last step was to promote the benefits of entrepreneurship for the population and the country. We know that our research is very useful for both countries and the whole africa, this is why in our study, we make recommendations to motivate inhabitants of both countries to create their own small businesses and we also encourage the Government of both Countries to give financial support to skilled inhabitant without revenues to help them to undertake to do their own activities to become independent.

“…Our analysis takes a sociological, cultural, and communications approach rather than literary to the study of CF, answering Trexler and Johns-Putra’s (2011) call for a “new literary and critical climate” to study CF that goes beyond the single-work analysis common in literary criticism or the focus on place in ecocriticism, recognizing the strengths of different approaches (p. 197). A significant literature has already explored the works of Margaret Atwood, including Oryx and Crake (see, e.g., Bergthaller, 2010; Glass, 2013; Howells, 2006), and some recent attention has also analyzed Ian McEwan’s body of work (Groes, 2008) as well as that of Barbara Kingsolver’s novels (Wagner-Martin, 2014). Trexler’s (2015) recently published extensive examination of CF includes commentary on Oryx and Crake , Solar , and Flight Behavior , among many other selections.…”

A new generation of climate fiction called Cli-fi has emerged in the last decade, marking the strong consensus that has emerged over climate change. Science fiction’s concept of cognitive estrangement that combines a rational imperative to understand while focusing on something different from our everyday world provides one linkage between climate fiction and science fiction. Five novels representing this genre that has substantial connections with science fiction are analyzed, focusing on themes common across these books: their framing of the climate change problem, their representations of science and scientists, their portrayals of economic and environmental challenges, and their scenarios for addressing the climate challenge. The analysis is framed through Taylor’s ideas of the social imaginary and the sociology of expectations, which proposes that expectations are promissory, deterministic, and performative. The novels illustrate in varying ways the problems attending the science-society relationship, the economic imperatives that have driven the characters’ choices, and the contradictory impulses that define our connections with nature. Such representations provide a picture of the challenges that need to be understood, but scenarios that offer possibilities for change are not as fully developed. This suggests that these books may represent a given moment in the longer trajectory of climate fiction while offering the initial building blocks to reconsider our ways of living so that new expectations and imaginaries can be debated and reconceived.
