Blue Kinship contributes to the emergent movement of ideas and practices that are interpreting the ocean as a conceptual and physical space for reconsidering our relationship with the complex, heterogeneous and mutable ecological systems of the Anthropocene; and, in consideration of the drastic and dramatic changes affecting the ocean’s health, is working toward a paradigm change in consideration of the socio-cultural connection with the sea. Tightening the link between society and the ocean cannot be achieved by technological solutions alone, but requires a multidisciplinary understanding of the ocean's influence on the more-than-human society, and of society on the ocean. This book includes cross-cutting, theoretical analyses, methodological descriptions and case studies across the social and natural research that puts the ocean at the core of all global health to feed the emergent socio-cultural geography of the sea and marine social science perspectives.
