About Me
The climate crisis affects the entire planet. This human-caused crisis is irreversible on a timescale of a single lifetime, and will still worsen. Combatting this crisis will require social change driven by new socialtechnological imaginaries. Not only do we need to develop new societal goals, we need to design new societal, economic, and cultural structures. The climate crisis arose from a network of interwoven issues from processes such as capitalism, classism, and colonialism. Fighting the climate crisis is thus inherently a political act.
Video games can help facilitate combatting this crisis through the communication (meta)practices they make possible. They help us question the way we live, and then let us propose new alternatives. Using this angle, The Sims can be an ecocritical tool to consider new imaginaries.
