Explainer: 'solarpunk', or how to be an optimistic radical

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

Punks (of the 70s and 80s kind) were not known for their optimism. Quite the opposite in fact. Raging against the establishment in various ways, there was “no future” because, according to the Sex Pistols, punks are “the poison / In your human machine / We’re the future / Your future”. To be punk, was, by definition, to resist the future.
