Fabulating Ecologies undertakes a comprehensive exploration into the world of eco-fabulations within cinematic narratives. The chapters navigate speculative and futuristic dimensions, envisioning entangled existences within domains that transcend the human experience. By doing so, the work provokes a reassessment of established paradigms surrounding environment, apocalyptic scenarios, citizenship, and anthropocentrism, all within the context of a fluid and evolving posthuman thought in cinematic storylines. Many recent films that do not belong to the SF category have effectively exhibited premonitions about impending threats, and the ones explored in this book are a small part of a larger lineage of films. This book recognizes such films as âcautionaryâ forms of media because they create an instinctive feeling of urgency. Cautionary cinema efficiently transmits narratives of foreboding, comprising the capacity to portray both fear and hope, through a combination of empathetic resonance and disruptive shock. The argument for machinocene being a logical supersedence to the Anthropocene is strengthened by the ubiquitous presence of heavy machinery and unrestrained technology in these ecologies that tilt us toward a calamitous vision of the future.
