Your Imagination is Haunted: Exorcising Neoliberalism's Ghosts with Joey Ayoub

In this episode we explore a relatively new subgenre of science fiction called Solarpunk, which aims to imagine better ecologically harmonious futures. In many ways Solarpunk is a reaction to both the real-world climate crisis and to the many apocalyptic visions of collapse that fill our screens. Andrew Sage from the YouTube channel Andrewism joins us for this conversation.

Dans cette émission, nous vous proposons de découvrir un tout jeune mouvement qui commence à faire sa place dans le jeu de rôle : le Solarpunk.

In the late 2000s, the concept of “solarpunk” emerged. In 2022, YouTube channel Our Changing Climate with, my guest today, Andrewism published a video titled “How We Can Build a Solarpunk Future Right Now”, in which they make that the case that "Ultimately Solarpunk envisions a world that might be slower, but more intentional. One that ties humanity closely to the natural world.” Or as Andrewism put in a reply to the video: "A future with a human face and dirt behind its ears."But if solarpunk is the future with humanity put back in, achieving it means taking control of that future from economic, social, & political forces that seem to be on autopilot to self-destruction, utterly divorced from human desires & human intervention. One path we've imagined already, and its grimy survivalist individualism was the defining feature of Reagan-era science fiction classics. However, in its radical reimagination of economic & social structures, solarpunk resists the nihilism & doomerism of the grim dehumanized technological dystopias that dominate the worlds of, say, Blade Runner, Robocop, & William Gibson's Neuromancer. Do we have the willingness to challenge the predominant social, economic, & political structures & systems that need to be challenged? To change the very nature of humanity's relationship to the planet? What role does education play in all of this? GuestsAndrew goes by Andrewism on his YouTube channel. His 66 videos, covering topics from education, liberation, and history, to family, parenting, and of course, solarpunk - have nearly 3 million combined views. Young people from around the world are watching & learning from him and participating in the community he has cultivated around his channel.ResourcesAndrewism's YouTube channelFighting Back Against the Future: Imagining a Solarpunk EducationConference to Restore Humanity! 2023 Hosted on Acast.
