Il n'est pas évident de donner une définition du steampunk. Aussi nous vous en proposons plusieurs pour satisfaire les puristes jusqu'aux plus permissifs, sinon allez sur wikipédia ... C'est quoi le steampunk ? C'est une Uchronie qui aime le mélange de culture populaire de la fin du 19e siècle et réalités historiques de l' époque victorienne. On est entre imaginaire futuriste, esthétique rétro et révolution industrielle. Le Steampunk est un concept issu de la littérature où la technologie n'a jamais progressé au-delà des machines à vapeur (Steam : vapeur en anglais). Il a donc existé depuis longtemps, bien avant l'invention du mot, on peut dire que Jules Verne ou H.G.Wells s'apparentent déjà au style Quelle époque, steampunk ? Le Steampunk est aussi appelé science-fiction victorienne. A noter qu'il se focalise sur les technologies et l'ère de la vapeur (steam), mais peut inclure de la magie et du fantastique. Sur le plan esthétique, le steampunk puise son charme irrésistible dans l'élégance raffinée de l'époque victorienne (1837-1901) en Angleterre, ainsi que dans la splendeur de la Belle Époque (1871-1914) en France et dans le style audacieux de la guerre de Sécession (1861-1865) aux États-Unis. Pourquoi punk dans steampunk ? L'inventeur du mot est à l' origine l'auteur K W Jeter. Steam pour la vapeur, clin d'œil à la révolution industrielle et Punk pour différencier ses œuvres des autres auteurs de science-fiction à la fin des années 1980 (en référence au cyberpunk). De ce fait les plus pointilleux vous diront qu'avant cette date (1987), ce n'est pas du steampunk. Les origines de l'utilisation du terme

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that our oceans are in trouble. Sea levels are rising, as are sea surface temperatures. Combine that with the issues of ocean acidification, plastic pollution, and overfishing, and you have a perfect storm of threats facing our oceans. Many ocean advocates, conservationists, and scientists are looking for ways to protect our oceans. Marine conservation is essential to the survival of our oceans as we know them, but when conservation efforts are exclusive or fail to consider all voices, they are doomed to fail.
