Riassunto

This book explores blueish geographies: new ways of thinking with ‘wet’ space through a porous and open conceptualisation. Through critical ocean thinking, more-than-wet ontologies, blue humanities, blue economy and planning, the diverse chapters think of the blueish as an extension, relation, and representation of water, extending the field, and questioning its absences.

The book offers an original and interdisciplinary contribution to critical ocean and marine studies by expanding the ‘disciplines’ vocabularies, debates, possibilities, epistemologies, and methodologies. By bringing together diverse critical perspectives on wet spaces, politics, and their excesses, this book provides new conceptual and methodological tools for understanding temporalities and counter-archives, more-than-human ecologies and possible future plannings. Combining established and early-career scholars from different disciplines and regions, the volume advances current debates in critical geography and ocean studies while remaining accessible for teaching and other applied purposes.

Blueish Entanglements and Transformations is intended for scholars, researchers and students in the field of critical ocean geographies, more-than-human geographies, maritime studies, hydrosocial studies, blue humanities, blue economy, political ecology, and related water-focused disciplines. It should also appeal to non-research readers working on water-related policies, development, and planning.
