Bokspanarna kan konstatera att det inte bara discon som är död. Discolitteraturen är ännu dödare. Men bokspanarna säger “Enough is Enough”, “I will Survive” och gör sin egen remix av temat som leder till ett “Disco Inferno” som klämtar till det uteblivna ljudet av bröllopsklockor. Veckans gäst: Annika Riekkola Vi pratar om dessa böcker: I Capture the Castle av Dodie Smith Minnet av vatten av Emmi Itäranta Daisy Jones & the Six av Taylor Jenkins Reid

There is no life, no liberty and no property without a stable climate and their government, our government should not be allowed to continue to contribute to this problem.” Elizabeth Rusch, author of The 21. This book dives into the ongoing landmark federal climate change lawsuit Juliana versus the United States of America. She introduces us to the 21 young people who came from different states to sue the US government. They have accused the federal government of denying them their constitutional right to life and liberty by not acting to address the causes of climate change. Elizabeth sat down with us to tell stories from the book. You'll hear about young people courageously stepping up in a big way and the importance of this historic case. “Not only should more people pay attention to the case, we believe anyone reading Elizabeth's book will be inspired to do great things.” -Horace Mo Follow Elizabeth Rusch on X. She is also on Instagram. 2. California Against the Sea: Visions for our Vanishing Coastline by Rosanna Xia “When I first submitted my manuscript to my book editor and she read just the entirety of what I was trying to write, she said, wow, this feels like such an incredible blend of old school journalism, radical listening, and deep hanging out.” -Rosanna Xia, author of California Against the Sea The author tells us about the big themes that emerge in the book. She also shares expert tips for the work we do as climb advocates connecting with the public and public officials. Oh, and she talks about hope. How much hope should we include in our stories? Can sharing too much hope make people complacent? “This is not a dry book with nonstop facts and figures. Instead, Rosanna brings together a community of vibrant stories and memorable people. Through these human connections Rosanna explores issues like private ownership along the coast, public accessibility to nature and the need to build resilient communities and infrastructure, even if you're not a Californian.” -Karina Taylee Follow Rosanna Xia on X and read more of her writing at the LA Times 3. Am I Too Old to Save the Planet? A Boomer's Guide to Climate Action by Lawrence MacDonald “We've reached a point where an individual action is going to be too little too late. And so we really need collective action to have rapid policy change. And that's one of the reasons that I am actually a big admirer of Citizens Climate Lobby. The idea of carbon fee and dividend I think is a very powerful driver for action. I think that can be very powerful. And it's going to need a bipartisan consensus.” -Lawrence MacDonald, author, Am I Too Old to Save the Planet?” This book delves into how the generation with the potential to enact change allowed climate issues to escalate into a global crisis - and offers solutions.Lawrence MacDonald, a former international correspondent and former vice president of the World Resources Institute, shares his personal transformation into a dedicated climate advocate. Brimming with actionable insights, this book may be the gift that opens us a meaningful conversation with a grandparent or older relative. “Lawrence hopes younger people like me, will use his book to help us connect with older Americans about climate change.” -Horace Mo Follow Lawrence MacDonald on X and read his writing on Medium. 4. The Quickening: Creation and Community at the End of the World by Elizabeth Rush In 2019 57, scientist and crew embarked on the ship the Nathaniel B. Palmer. They were there to explore Thwaites Glacier. This is a mysterious and potentially catastrophic site for global sea level rise. Elizabeth Rush's new book, The Quickening, chronicles their journey. She mixes sublime moments like seeing icebergs up close. With everyday activities like ping pong and lab work. It also delves into the personal question of bringing a child into a changing world. This Antarctica story also focuses on imagining a better future understanding the continent's history, and highlighting the roles of women and people of color and expeditions Hear Elizabeth Rush talking about her first book, Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore. She appeared in Episode 26 of Citizens Climate Radio, Deep Water. “In Rising, Rush wove in narratives from coastal residents around the USA, along with her own research and personal reflections about sea level rise. It was beautifully written in a way that humanized global warming for me. In her newest book, Quickening, she is back to weaving stories while helping us nudge nearer to the biggest story of our time, Climate Change.” -Peterson Toscano The Ultimate Climate Fiction (Cli-Fi) List Dr. Krista Hiser has been a regular guest and contributor to Citizens Climate Radio.

I had known Hannah and Zachfrom working at Citizens Climate Lobby and we would bump into each other at conferences, and while we were all there, we were all talking.

Good News Lila Powell tells us about Virginia's annual Clean the Bay Day, which she experienced this year. It has been an important tradition since 1989. Thousands of volunteers gather on the first Saturday of June for a three-hour cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. This year, over 4,000 volunteers removed 114 pounds of debris, including surprising finds like a plastic hippo and a packaged pork tenderloin. The cleanup significantly benefits the ecosystem and engages the community. While it's specific to Virginia, those in the Chesapeake Bay watershed can participate in their own cleanups.

Ohjaaja Saara Saarela tarttui Emmi Itärannan romaaniin Teemestarin kirja, koska päähenkilön rohkeus ja usko muutokseen tekivät häneen vaikutuksen. Elokuvan ohjaaminen sai hänet näkemään globaalit vesimarkkinat ja Itämeren uhkakuvat uudella tavalla. Silti kaiken pohjalta löytyi myös toivoa.
Tällä kertaa podcastissä arvostelussa kotimainen scifi elokuva Veden vartija. Elokuvan on ohjannut Saara Saarela ja käsikirjoittanut Ilja Rautsi. Elokuva tulee ensi-iltaan nyt perjantaina ja se pohjautuu Emmi Itärannan Teemestarin kirja -romaaniin. Elokuva on siis tällainen futuristinen, hieman post-apocalyptinen scifi elokuva, jossa tapahtumat sijoittuvat Scandinavian Unioniin ja ihmiset kärsivät, kun puhdas makea vesi uhkaa kokonaan loppua ja sotilas valtio, säännöstelee sitä liikaa. Arvostelussa kerron mietteeni tästä ja miten se mielestäni toimi. Oletko kuullut että tällainen leffa on tulossa? Odotatko innolla? Mitä mieltä olit siitä, jos olet jo nähnyt?
Emmi Itärannan Teemestarin kirjaan perustuva Veden vartija-elokuva saa ensi-iltansa myöhemmin tänä vuonna. Jakso äänitettiin Näsinneulassa, Tampereella, 14. maaliskuuta 2022. Tue podcastin tekemistä: MobilePay 0407688249
Dystopia tarkoittaa utopian vastakohtaa: ei-toivottua ja uhkaavaa ihanneyhteiskunnan vastakappaletta, joka maalaa kauhukuvia ihmiskunnan tulevaisuudesta. Huolestuttavaa on, että nykyajassa dystopioista on tullut paitsi valtavirtakuvastoa myös osa arkista realismia: ihmisten – erityisesti nykynuorten – tuntuu olevan yhä vaikeampi kuvitella tulevaisuuden näyttäytyvän kovinkaan valoisana ja hyvänä. Helpompi on kuvitella nykymaailman romahdus, omanlaisensa maailmanloppu, kuin ylläpitää helposti naiivilta vaikuttavaa toivoa hyvän huomisen saavuttamisesta. Usein kuulee sanottavan, että toivottamalta vaikuttava maailmantilanne edellyttää yhä enemmän utooppista ajattelua. Mutta onko myös dystooppisella ajattelulla ihmiselle jotakin tärkeää annettavaa vai mikä selittää uhkaavien kauhukuvien vuodesta toiseen jatkuvan vetovoiman? Ja miksi dystopia tuntuu ylipäätään tarjoavan utopiaa paremman tarinan – vai onko dystopia itseasiassa usein utopia valeasussa? Asuuko toivo epätoivon keskellä? Dystopioiden merkityksestä ovat keskustelemassa Teemestarin kirjalla debytoinut kirjailija Emmi Itäranta, dosentti ja yliopistonlehtori Saija Isomaa, sekä kirjallisuudentutkija, FT Juha Raipola. Ohjelman toimittavat Mikko Kurenlahti ja Hilkka Nevala.
This month the EXALT podcast was delighted to welcome University of Helsinki, Global Development Studies doctoral researcher Anna Marjaana Heikkinen. In her doctorate Anna Marjaana focuses on the role of water and climate change in the Peruvian Andes. She works with communities of peasant farmers, who are trying to hold onto traditional ways of working with their land and water in the face of pressures from globalized supply chains and the incursion of extractive industries. She highlighted a case she is working on that shows the deep entanglements between humans, other than human beings, mining, and water. Anna Marjaana also shared some great resources to help the listeners think about water and gave us insight into the ways she communicates science.

Haastoimme itsemme ottamaan haltuun meille vähän tuntemattomamman genren eli dystopian. Luimme kaksi ekokatastrofi-teemaista teosta eli Maja Lunden Mehiläisten historian ja Emmi Itärannan Kuunpäivän kirjeet. Tervetuloa kuuntelemaan pohdintojamme!
Emmi Itärannan uudessa romaanissa sinkoudutaan planeettojen väliselle kiertoradalle. Vuonna 2168 ihmiskunta on rakentanut siirtokuntiaan eri taivaankappaleille mutta maapallolta tutuista ongelmista ei ole päästy eroon uusissa ympyröissä. Kirjan kertoja Lumi muistaa vielä lapsuutensa Maan. Podcastilla pohditaan kirjan isoja, kirjaimellisesti universaaleja teemoja kuten pakolaiseksi joutuneen ikävää kotiin, jonne ei enää voi päästä. Kirjan maailmankaikkeudessa on näennäisesti ratkaistu ne ongelmat, joihin nyt toivomme teknologian tuovan helpotuksen - maapallon asuinkelvottomuudesta "eettiseen lihatuotantoon" - mutta kuten historiasta opimme, ihmiskunta ei opi historiastaan vaan uusi planeettojenvälinen kolonisaatio tuottaa ja toisintaa eriarvoisuutta, ennakkoluuloja, takapajuisuutta ja omahyväisyyttä. Emmi Itäranta kertoo, miksi Kuunpäivän kirjeet ei kuitenkaan ole puhdas dystopia. Siinä vilkkuu toivonkipinöitä, kuin David Bowie -imitaattorin paljeteissa glam rock -clubin virtuaalisimulaattorissa, ja se vetää scifi-kauhuisen lukijankin mukanaan uusiin, uskottaviin maailmoihin.

I det andra samtalet, "Minnet av vatten", är klimatångest vår utgångspunkt. Vi funderar på ifall klimatdystopier gör oss rädda eller om de kan ge oss redskap för att hantera krisen. Utgående från de nordiska dystopierna "Minnet av vatten" av Emmi Itäranta och "Blå" av Maja Lunde pratar vi om översvämningar, uråldriga källor och torka. Hanna minns tsunamin i Thailand 2004 och Kaneli erkänner att hon kan bli jobbig när hon ställer krav på andra. Podcasten görs i samarbete med HBL. ... I det andra samtalet nämner vi: "Minnet av vatten" av Emmi Itäranta, "Blå" av Maja Lunde, "Breven från Maresi" och "Naondel" av Maria Turtschaninoff, "När havet kommer" och "När maten tar slut" av P3 Dystopia och "Orkanen Katrina" av P3 Dokumentär.
LIVEPODD med Emmi Itärana (på engelska) Bokhandeln har fått besök av Emmi Itäranta, författaren till Minnet av vatten och då passade vi på att spela in en kort intervju! Vi får bland annat svar på frågor om olika sorters dystopier, hur tidigare domedagsvisioner blivit mer skrämmande realistiska, vad som inspirerat till boken, och får en uppläsning ur ett kapitel ur den engelska versionen av boken.
*Europarama is a podcast series about science fiction and the future of Europe brought to you by the Are We Europe podcasting family. * In “The Principle of Hope” Ernst Bloch lays out the many ways in which hope and the human desire for liberation and fulfillment appear in our everyday lives. Amidst Europe’s post-war reconstruction, in 1954, Bloch restored honour to the idea of utopia by seeing it not as a pre-existing programmatic state which had to be reached under wise and all-knowing leadership either of the party or the church, but as a process driven by human beings, driven on by their material hunger as well as their dreams of overcoming that hunger. In a nutshell, Bloch says that what drives us on are our daydreams of a better and brighter world. Inspired by these, Giuseppe Porcaro and Emmi Itäranta imagine possible utopian elements in a future version of our continent. **How such a utopian version of Europe will look like? ** Emmi Itäranta grew up in Finland and now resides in Canterbury, UK. She writes fiction in Finnish and English. Her debut novel Memory of Water has won numerous awards, including a James Tiptree Jr. Award honors list mention and the Kalevi Jäntti Prize for young writers in Finland. Emmi's work has been translated to more than 20 languages. Coming from an eclectic writing background, her former life includes stints as a columnist, theatre critic, dramaturge, scriptwriter and press officer. Giuseppe Porcaro is the author of DISCO SOUR, a novel about Europe and democracy in the age of algorithms, among the winners of the Altiero Spinelli Prize for Outrech of the European Union in 2018. Giuseppe is interested in how the intersection between technology and politics is moving towards uncharted territories in the future. He also focuses on narrative-building and political representations in the European Union. He works as the head of communications for Bruegel.
This Episode: We try to potty train Emmi It's potty training time. The kids invent a Polaroid camera. I am suspicious to a guy in a jeep. Peaches sees cults everywhere. I'm sort of charitable to Hollywood actors. Donald Trump and Jordan Peterson are cult leaders. So is Armin Van Buuren.
Mikä dystopioissa kiehtoo? Mitä ne kertovat meidän yhteiskunnastamme? Mihin maailmamme on menossa?! Muun muassa näitä kysymyksiä pohditaan Oma huone -podcastin kolmannessa jaksossa kirjailija Katri Alatalon kanssa. Jaksossa mainitut teokset ja kirjalijat: - Han Kang (suom.

Sivumennen sukeltaa eteläkorealaisen Han Kangin romaaniin. Omaääninen ja vaikuttava Vegetaristi (suom. Sari Karhulahti, Gummerus) palkittiin viime vuonna Bookerilla, eikä syyttä. Puhumme paljon siitä, kuinka kirja saa ymmärtämään hulluutta (niin sanottua) ja vieroksumaan normaaliutta (niin sanottua) ja miten mekin oikeastaan haluaisimme olla puita. Jos ihmisenä oleminen välillä väsyttää, tämä kirja on sinulle. Podcastin aluksi Johanna analysoi Lahden mm-kisat uudesta näkökulmasta. Jonna on kanavoinut omia aggressioitaan elokuvateatterissa Loganin kanssa ja tietää nyt, milloin on aika fiktiiviselle väkivallalle. Hyllynlämmittäjä etenee, kun Johanna on lukenut Emmi Itärannan Teemestarin kirjan, josta lyhyesti täällä. Uutisosiossa tiedämme kertoa, että Edward St Aubynin Patrick Melrose -sarjaa ollaan televisioimassa ja sarjan pääosaan on valittu täydellinen Benedict Cumberbatch. Rumpujen pärinää! Ikiteema rakkaus kiehtoo aina. Tällä kertaa gurunamme on On Being podcastin vieraana ollut kirjailija, filosofi Alain de Botton, joka puhuu viisaita. Tämä saa Jonnan tavoittelemaan kyllin hyvää parisuhdetta ja Johannan tunnustamaan, että rakkaudessa hän on huono. Entä miksi de Bottonin mukaan joskus suurin rakkauden teko on jättää ihminen rauhaan eikä yrittää saada häntä parisuhteeseen? Kuuntele ja tiedä. Kuva: Park Jaehong
Ninfa Hayes, Rebecca "Del" Derrick and Producer Al cover the book news and are slightly envious that Ed's gone off to cover the 72nd Worldcon in London. The theme is spin-off novels; Ninfa covers School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins, Del talks about books inspired by Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. The special guest is Emmi Itäranta. All recordings are issued under official license from Fab Radio International. The Bookworm is a Truly Outrageous Production.
Ed talks about The Queen of Dark Things. Ninfa reviews (and adores) Emmi Itäranta's Memory of Water. Ed says mean things about The Fault in Our Stars, Ninfa hits Ed. Producer Al spends a lot of time face palming. All recordings are issued under official license from Fab Radio International. The Bookworm is a Truly Outrageous Production.
Vesi on maailmast otsa saamas. Täpselt kirjeldamata katastroofi tulemusel on tulevikumaailma kõige suurem defitsiit puhas vesi. Maailmas valitseb diktatuur, mille peamine ülesanne on vett jaopärast jagada, veekurjategijaid püüda. Mõned endisaegsed tehnikasaavutused on säilinud, aga suurem osa neist tundmatut otstarvet täitvatest vidinatest on aetud suurtesse jäätmeaukudesse. Need, ning peategelase Noria suguvõsas säilinud teemeistri päevikud on ainus side eelmise maailmaga. Noria saab noore tüdrukuna teemeistriks ning oma suguvõsa suure saladuse hoidjaks. Paraku on teemeister oma ameti tõttu veepolitsei kõrgendatud tähelepanu all ning seetõttu lõpebki kõik traagiliselt. (Emmi Itäranta. Vesi mäletab. Loeb Kristi Aule.)
