“Questa è una spettacolare raccolta di storie provenienti dal Sud globale e dall’oceano che copre la maggior parte del nostro pianeta. Ogni volta che le tecnologie modificano le società umane a un ritmo sempre più accelerato, la fantascienza diventa la modalità letteraria preferita.

Questo libro è un segno di tale grande spostamento verso il futurismo visionario, che si dispiega per rivelare le possibilità utopiche ancora vive nel nostro presente. È un piacere da leggere.

” Kim Stanley Robinson, autore de Il ministero del futuroEcoceanica: Futuri dal Sud Globale propone storie dalle regioni costiere dell’Africa, del Mar Arabico, dell’Oceano Indiano e del Golfo del Bengala, estendendosi all’Australia e all’America Latina. Il volume ha offerto alle scrittrici e agli scrittori uno spazio per riflettere sulle esperienze passate del commercio marittimo, del colonialismo e dell’imperialismo.

In queste narrazioni troviamo un tentativo di estrapolare scenari plausibili che derivano da tali esperienze storiche, sia verso il futuro prossimo che verso quello più lontano, prevedendo le catastrofi ambientali che tali regioni si trovano ad affrontare nel momento del cambiamento climatico accelerato di origine antropica, nonché possibili alternative a livello micro e macro, che portano alla costruzione di trame distintive e varianti del novum della fantascienza. Ecoceanica si caratterizza quindi per una forma di futurismo oceanico del Sud, prendendo ispirazione da movimenti come il solarpunk che delineano approcci sia critici che alternativi agli attuali sistemi socioeconomici insostenibili che stanno mettendo a dura prova gli ecosistemi oceanici e le culture costiere.
