>In her book, entitled Solar Politics, Oxana Timofeeva makes the argument against an extractive cosmo-logic, in which not only the resources of the Earth itself are extracted (which would amount to an extractive geo-logic), but in which the Sun and the planets in the Solar system are now taken up by the capitalist economy. The Sun itself is only another nuclear fusion reactor.
And so, today, green capitalism is also a moniker for a new form of colonialism on a cosmological scale, in which natural resources are exploited for economic gain. The once free-giving economy of the Sun is reinstated into the capitalist economy of demand and offer.
Yet, solar politics does not suggest that we should return to worshipping the Sun, nor that we continue to extract from it. Solar power should neither be placed above or below the economy as such, but rather reconceptualized in the framework of an economy of free exchange.
How is it to be done?

The trailer for the new book by Blue Labyrinths founder Matt Bluemink:

>Drawing on musicians like SOPHIE, Arca and Iglooghost, Bluemink declares that the future is not lost; it still speaks to us through music. If Fisher’s Hauntology — dwelling on ghosts of the past — is the logic of depression, then Bluemink’s Anti-Hauntology posits a logic of hope where voices from the future continue to guide the development of the present.
Island-hopping through Stiegler's philosophy of technics, Simondon's theory of individuation, and the spatial imaginaries of cyberpunk and solarpunk, Bluemink builds a theoretical framework equal to the times — one that takes seriously our capacity to, not only diagnose the world, but remake it. In order to create a new future we must re-imagine our relationship with music, with technology, and with culture. The world of tomorrow is a blank canvas; an open book. New beginnings are always possible.
