阳光朋克从科幻发展趋势角度来看,也许可以看作是“生态科幻”(Ecofiction)的某种分支演化。这类作品探寻并幻想一种充斥着利用太阳能或其他可再生能源或以城市农业、有机建筑设计构建的与自然和谐、田园式另类未来。这类作品往往反叛当下高速发展的城市化进程,并与诸如《后天》《雪国列车》这样的末世向“气候科幻”对立。
Fascinating piece here (based on a presentation so lots of visuals) by Jay Springett who sets the table by covering some memetic theory and media narratives, to then beautifully present and explain what Solarpunk aims to achieve. He presents punk and mainstream, how our interests and where we can share them was atomized by the internet, to then re-cohear on the big platforms. Pre-internet is the last time there was a more defined mainstream, so Disney and others are constantly re-hashing old heroes and cultures. They “frack” the media of the past because it is the (somewhat) common ground they can make blockbusters from.
It’s the same with sci-fi and most of the futures presented to us; they are old futures based on and extracted from the culture of those past decades. As “climate change looms over all those futures and no-one seems capable of doing anything about it,” we need better futures, extrapolated from this present, not that of our predecessors. “We need to collectively foster a new way of seeing the world” and, quoting Madeline Ashby, we need “to talk, loudly and frequently and in detail, about the future [we] want. You can’t manifest what you don’t share.”
诞生于21世纪,真正进入创作不过7、8年,参与者多有欧洲、非洲、南美背景,也就是相对英语科幻属于非主流,提倡与自然结合,环保主义/无政府主义/集体主义,有点类似中国古代“天人合一”的味道,强调乐观的未来前景。
再搜搜图,这个标签下出现的主要是绿色植被、土木材质、太阳能、电动车,色调温暖,情绪平和。
当然这个标签里不只是小确幸,也有激进环保主义和极端无政府主义,强调社会的本地化、原子化,反对大型工业和集中政府。
但是到现在为止,这个运动并没有得到太多的响应,并没有赛博朋克刚推出的几年中就激发出大量创作的景象。
我们不能断言这个运动不会蓬勃发展,但我从目前的趋势来看,太阳朋克并不会成为未来的主流。原因很简单,它对天人合一的诉求是反进步的,本质上是一种倒退。无论它自己怎么表达对新技术的推崇,但这个运动本身缺乏足够的技术洞察力是不争的事实。相比之下,蒸汽朋克是对工业化的崇拜,赛博朋客是对技术元素的担忧,都是符合大历史趋势的。

[U]nder the logic of a capitalist cultural monopoly, commodity owners have to continually frack the past from a time when a collective cultural grammar still existed to still make money. […]
The sense of creating new immediate futures and repopulating the futures space with something entirely divorced from previous consensus futures. Solarpunk attempts to re-future all of our imaginations. […]
[I]t attempts to foster a socio-cultural environment which emphasizes individual autonomy, consent, unity-in-diversity, with the free egalitarian distribution of power. […]
It is not a genre that relies on huge technological leaps into the future, nor by taking wistful glances at the past, but by looking laterally at what’s already in the world, and projecting it forward. […]
Solarpunk then is a collective ‘Memetic Engine’. A cultural construct, or media entity that is a tool that powers and provides the ‘refuturing’ that our collective imagination needs. […]
If you want a better future, and are already involved in activism of all kinds then Become a solarpunk. Stand in opposition to the doom and gloom of our current media environment, adopt a more sunny disposition. It’s why solarpunk is punk.
