Abstract
This article aims to show how planetary comparativism, inspired by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, can be used as a framework that embraces the alienating state of the world. Herein, I study how intimate and planetary perspectives melt together in the neogothic feminist novels of Hang Kang and Samanta Schweblin. I thus conclude that planetarity can function both as planetary perspectives within novels but also as an alienating planetary reading strategy.
