Phenomenal Ocean
Corona Under the Ocean: Political Action, Political Imagination
The ninth episode, with ship captain and sea rescue activist Carola Rackete, begins with her early research in the Arctic and Antarctic, and how she was able to sensibly feel the melting of the poles, without the need for scientific data. That was also when she decided to engage in political action in order to have a real impact on the multiple forms of violence the capitalist system perpetrates, both human and environmental, both individual and structural. This podcast is the result of a conversation between Carola Rackete and Sonia Fernández Pan, in which the Covid-19 pandemic was present from the viewpoint of maritime life and in vessels as working environments, as well as in the reinforcement of borders and the human abuses carried out under the pretense of pandemic response.
