Anthropocentric Landscape and Soundscape in Cli-Fi Extrapolations TV Series

Abstrakt

This paper aims to explore the detrimental consequences of anthropocentric perspectives on the environment as portrayed in the television series Extrapolations. Comprising eight interlinked episodes and featuring an ensemble cast, Apple TV’s 2023 production Extrapolations is set in a near-future dystopian Earth grappling with the consequences of ecological collapse. Grounded in the theoretical framework of the ecological turn, particularly Timothy Mortonʼs concept of hyperobjects, it investigates the interconnectedness of capitalism, global warming, and their destructive impacts on both human and non-human life. Through close analysis of selected episodes ‒ depicting wildfires, animal extinctions, and flooding ‒ these phenomena are examined as hyperobjects produced by capitalism that contribute to the degradation of marine ecosystems and disrupt interspecies relationality. Furthermore, drawing on Donna Haraway’s concept of becoming-with, the paper explores narrative connections between a human mother and a whale, emphasizing feminism, agency, and motherhood in the development of kinship between humans and non-humans. Finally, the third section interrogates traditional Jewish interpretations of the punishing deluge, proposing instead a more earth-centered, ecologically attuned understanding of catastrophe and renewal.
