I will illustrate this with examples of fresh water and sea hydro-policies (including nuclear trials in the Pacific) and will explore cognitive and activist alternatives proposed by the Polynesian sailors and navigators. I will also use two ambiguous metaphors of a ship and a Polynesian voyaging canoe as an opening for different narrations of the planets’ future in the climate crisis.}, doi = {10.4467/20843860PK.21.018.14075}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/przeglad-kulturoznawczy/article/myslec-przez-morze-sztrandowanie-i-inne-metafory-w-poszukiwaniu-poznawczych-alternatyw} }
