Description:
An 'oceanic turn' is now taking place across the humanities and social sciences, with a burgeoning of academic work emerging which takes seriously the place of seas and oceans in understanding socio-cultural and political life, past and present. This book asks how a range of engagements with the sea - from spatial planning, architectural design, seascape classification, to educational initiatives and proactive efforts to engage marginalised groups, can help us to better understand human relationships with the seas and oceans, and promote an ethic of care for the future. It brings together an interdisciplinary and international cohort of contributors from within and beyond academia.
