Abstract:"Oceanic Becoming reflects on the immersive poetics of oceanic becoming that flow from the influence of the Pacific and surrounding areas. Reading the Pacific as a site of peril and promise, Rob Wilson draws on blue humanities and worlding techniques to connect cities to the oceans that sustain and support them. Through literary analysis and critique of texts that draw on the Pacific's influence and address life along the Pacific Rim, Wilson asks readers to reconceptualize the ocean in a world that is increasingly threatened by late capitalism and production chains. This reworlding shifts thinking about globalization toward the local, moving between city and region, world and globe, to reveal an occluded urban-planetary nexus of transience, motion, and affect in the Anthropocene"--
