I’m currently working on my new book project, Arcadian Revenge: Science Fiction in the Era of Ecocatastrophe, which considers “ecocatastrophe” narratives in literature, film, graphic fiction, contemporary art and music. Drawing on debates in eco-socialism and anti-humanism, as well as contemporary philosophies of environmental posthumanism and the new (feminist) materialisms, the book poses a provocative wager: how do these visions, in which humanity’s survival is threatened, or even obliterated, privilege utopian hope for the planet?
I’ll add more information soon, as this project develops.
