It begins by posing the fundamental question of how education can be a transformative process for envisioning and desiring better futures, with the ultimate goal of mitigating the impacts of the Anthropocene. The book addresses concerns that are of utmost importance to the fields of education, youth, and futures studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn its exploration, the book draws upon lessons from the imaginaries of apocalypse, revolution, and utopia, utilizing research from youth perspectives in a time when the narrative of 'youth despair about the future' persists. It investigates how the imaginary of apocalypse serves as a framework of intelligibility, providing a means to make sense of the atrocities of the present and inspiring desires for different actions. By studying the School Climate Strikes of 2019 as a revolution, the book moves us away from the teleologies of capitalist consumption and endless growth, towards newer aesthetics that embrace life beyond the human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the book delves into how the utopias of Afrofuturist fiction offer a form of investable utopia, as they begin with the recognition of racial, economic, and ecological injustice as the starting point. By embracing this kind of utopia, the book suggests that becoming 'more than human' may be the future, offering a hopeful vision for a better world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, this thought-provoking book provides valuable insights into the role of education in shaping our collective imagination and driving positive change toward a more sustainable and equitable future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 244g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811657900\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esther Priyadharshini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44515832627450,"sku":"9789811657900","price":85.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692376246120_book.jpg?v=1692885190","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/pedagogies-for-the-postanthropocene-lessons-from-apocalypse-revolution-utopia-9789811657900","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
