  1. 1. Talk to the Sea: Deep-sea mining, the arts, and contesting narratives of extraction in the deep ocean.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Humanekologi

    Author : Nicholas Frederick Olivier Lepage; [2023]
    Keywords : deep-sea mining; resource frontier; commodities; arts; extractivism; narratives; imaginaries.; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The deep-sea may be on the verge of becoming the latest frontier for resource extraction of critical metals and minerals in order to build renewable energy technologies such as electric vehicles. This thesis examines the narratives used by the deep-sea mining company The Metals Company to justify the extraction of polymetallic nodules from the seabed in the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean.
