Sober realism and radical imagination. 520 $a "This book examines various expressions of the utopian imagination, understood broadly as encompassing both better and worse visions of the future. In so doing, it focuses on the most pressing challenge of our times: how to inhabit a climate-changed world. Its key assumption is that tackling such a complex problem inevitably gives rise to utopian ideas and projects. The book tracks these forms of social dreaming across two domains - political theory as well as speculative fiction - so as to realize the following objectives: first, to uncover the key eutopian and dystopian tendencies in contemporary debates around the Anthropocene; and second, to provide orientation for our planetary existence on the basis of which a political theory of radical transformation, avoiding both fatalism and wishful thinking, may emerge. By juxtaposing theoretical interventions, from Bruno Latour to the members of the Dark Mountain collective, with fantasy and science fiction texts by N. K. Jemisin, Kim Stanley Robinson and Margaret Atwood, the book argues that the current desire for other ways of being and living can be educated in vastly different and frequently conflicting ways"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Human beings $x Effect of climate on. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Utopias in literature. 650 0 $a Geology, Stratigraphic $y Anthropocene. 650 7 $a Climatic changes $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864268 650 7 $a Geology, Stratigraphic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940727 650 7 $a Human beings $x Effect of climate on. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962839 650 7 $a Utopias in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01163372 776 08 $i Online version: $a Thaler, Mathias, 1978- $t No other planet $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781009030250 $w (DLC) 2022003222 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020437.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC18C972AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
