Hoy en el #Summerlab de @tbkmedialab, en la charla sobre Solarpunk alguien ha planteado que las ciudades de arquitecturas calatravescas llenas de vegetación que se suelen ver en el imaginario no serían en absoluto sostenibles.
Es verdad que pocos relatos del subgénero abordan la sobrepoblación, y muchas de las sus sociedades se basan en comunidades pequeñas y fáciles de gestionar.
¿Qué opináis? ¿Conocéis relatos que sí lo aborden? Mencionaré vuestras respuestas en la sesión de mañana 🤓
@tbkmedialab otra cosa interesante que ha salido es este juego a raíz del libro "Socialismo de medio planeta" de Troy Vetesse y Drew Pendergrass.
@ng ¡Gracias!
@pablomgarrido ¡Hola!
I'm a solarpunk author and I agree many solarpunk stories don't look at sustainability for the entire world—often because they are *short* stories (there are not many novels).
1) there aren't that many solarpunk stories *at all* which is why I've started a podcast and a list, to gather them: https://brightgreenfutures.substack.com/
2) my short solarpunk story (does not address the whole world but it's in Spanish):
https://susankayequinn.com/books/seven-sisters
One novel that attempts a world-wide solution: Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future https://www.planetadelibros.com/libro-el-ministerio-del-futuro/325044
My novel series, Nothing is Promised, also looks at world-wide struggle/solutions (across 4 books), but it's only in English and German: https://susankayequinn.com/series/nothing-is-promised
I can imagine how frustrating that must be! My friend & fellow solarpunk author @renanbernardo.com has written how not having works available in Portuguese shaped him as a writer. He has works in several languages now… maybe some in Spanish?
Also: that same bilingual magazine published two other Imagine 2200 stories in translation (in separate issues)—I will track down those links.
Oh! *Otra Vida* by @sarenaulibarri is in Spanish too!
@pablomgarrido @ng @sarenaulibarri
Excellent!
I found one of the other Imagine 2200 stories (Jamie Liu's) in translation and now I can't remember if there actually was a third. Maybe @sarenaulibarri knows?
@pablomgarrido @ng Oh, and I double checked but Renan does *not* have stories in Spanish, sorry.
"His work has been published in English, Portuguese, German, Japanese, and Italian." https://www.renanbernardo.com/about
@susankayequinn @ng sorry for not answer yesterday but thank you! You also made me discover new stories and I can't wait to sit and read!
I didn't know Renan Bernardo but it turns out there's a book in my book shop with one of his stories: Solarpunk: short stories from many futures (Francesco Verso ed.)...
El mundo es un pañuelo as we say in Spain 😂😂
