Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. This collaborative graphic novel explores issues of capitalism and climate change in Paraguay, raising questions about the limits of survival for humans, their food crops, and rural ways of life.Based in the agrarian world of commercial sesame farming in northern Paraguay, Forecasts tells a story about what happens when global insurance companies promise financial safety nets to local farmers struggling with the effects of climate change. This striking graphic novel brings together original ethnographic research and Paraguayan gothic art to confront the limitations of finance to respond to a deteriorating environment.Taking a human-centered approach to complex weather and financial models, Forecasts offers new ways of looking at overlapping speculative futures in a more-than-human landscape. Based on more than a year of fieldwork in Paraguay, the book follows one mans possible journeys through a season of planting and harvesting, buffeted by losses and sustained by the hope that he can cultivate conditions that will help his family thrive. Forecasts makes a sweeping account of environmental and financial risk accessible through the intimate story of one familys triumphs, heartbreaks, and hopes for the future.The graphic novel is followed by appendices that provide historical, anthropological, and methodological insights, as well as classroom guides, exercises, and questions that make this book ideal for teaching. This collaborative graphic novel explores issues of capitalism and climate change in Paraguay, raising questions about the limits of survival for humans, their food crops, and rural ways of life.
