Hope at sea: possible ecologies in Oceanic literature [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
As far back as Thomas More's 'Utopia' and Francis Bacon's 'New Atlantis, ' the Pacific Ocean has inspired literary creations of promising worlds. 'Hope at Sea' asks how literary writers have more recently conceived the future of ocean living. In doing so, it provides a new perspective on art and imagination in the face of enormous environmental change. This book explores how literary writers evoke hope in engaging with environmental upheavals that are reshaping life in the Pacific Ocean. Teresa Shewry considers contemporary poetry, short stories, novels, art, and journalistic pieces from Australia, New Zealand, Hawai'i and other ocean sites, examining their imaginative accounts of present life and future living in places where humans coexist with environmental loss: rivers that no longer reach the sea, dwindling populations of ocean life, the effects of nuclear weapons testing, and more.
