The Bloomsbury Handbook to the Blue Humanities

The most comprehensive treatment of the emerging discourse of the Blue Humanities to date, this book comprises essays from key figures alongside new voices, creating a navigational map through this new discipline’s formulations and possibilities.

Structured around four parts that focus on Discourses, Forms, Networks and Representations, the Handbook ranges across topics such as blue philosophy, blue law and blue anthropology, locations such as the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Arctic Ocean, and media such as literature, photography, theatre, visual art and acoustics.

Moving beyond Western binaries of colonial representation such as North-South and East-West, the book includes a diverse range of contributions and contributors, making it essential reading for scholars and students of the Blue Humanities.
