Description

An Ecotopian Lexicon presents thirty novel terms that do not yet exist in English to envision ways of responding to the environmental challenges of our generation.

As the scale and gravity of climate change becomes undeniable, a cultural revolution is needed to match progress in policy, infrastructure, and technology. This collaborative volume offers ecologically productive terms drawn from other languages, science fiction, and subcultures of resistance to inspire responses and alternatives to fossil-fuelled neoliberal capitalism.

Each term helps us imagine how to adapt and even flourish in the face of socioecological adversity, while fourteen artists from eleven countries respond with original artwork that illustrates the contours of a possible better world.
