Syllabus for “Biodiverses: The New Marinecentrism and Intersectionality in Subaquatic Ecosystems”

Prof. Sebastian the Crab, Instructor

WEEK ONE: BETTER DOWN WHERE IT’S WETTER? TROPHIC INTERACTIONS AND THE HUMAN “PROBLEM”

The human world, it’s a mess
Life under the sea
Is better than anything they got up there

WEEK TWO: FOMO — DEMOGRAPHIC ANXIETY IN THE AGE OF MANUFACTURED DESIRE

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else’s lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake

WEEK THREE: DEFINING THE NEW MARINECENTRISM

Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin’ for?

WEEK FOUR: FLOATIN’ — LATE CAPITALISM AND THE FUTURE OF LABOR

Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin’
Full time to floatin’
Under the sea
