Abstract
Drawing on the entangled concepts of planetarity and resilience, the essay discusses Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future as climate resilience narrative. Relying on a planetary aesthetic that is most importantly articulated in a multiplicity of narrative voices and in a spatiality marked by relationality, bioconnectivity, and deterritorialization, Robinson’s novel explores various paths and strategies toward a carbon-neutral, sustainable, and just planetary future that overcome current neoliberal globalization by replacing it with a new sociopolitical, economic, and cultural order that is based on ontological relationality and ethical solidarity. The novel’s framing of resilience building as psycho-social, socio-ecological, and economic endeavor draws attention to the adaptive and transformative capacities necessary for a fundamental reorganization of societies and economies on a planetary scale, which ultimately balance human and more-than-human needs with ecological planetary boundaries.
