Journal Article
Cli-Fi, Noir, and The Nonhuman Subject in Netflix's The Silent Sea (2021)
2023
Overview
The various elements explored by American noir scholars such as Stewart King and Homer B. Pettey include an analysis of how the hardboiled private investigator and the dangerous femme fatale reflect gender and sexual norms of the era, or how the anti-hero reflects a conception of the individual as isolated or fragmented. [...]The Silent Sea depicts what Timothy Morton calls a \"dark ecology,\" in his book of the same name, that renders nature as ruined or destroyed as a result of anthropogenic climate change; the series relies on a fusion of noir and cli-fi conventions with the hope that humanity may halt the violence humans inflict on the nonhuman, and the potential violence that a destroyed nature may wreak upon humanity in return. Because eco-catastrophes are often experienced on a global level, especially when they pertain to water usage and drought, it is important to consider how this series adopts a global perspective-how it links South Korean and American conventions-to highlight the widespread effects of climate change. Because The Silent Sea depicts space exploration and the dystopic effects of climate change by fusing elements of speculative fiction with mystery, violence, and thrill, one might name the series as a \"crimate\" television series, a term that Stewart King coined in \"Crimate Fiction and the Environmental Imagination of Place.\" [...]we can expand upon our ecocritical approaches when examining expression of environmental concern, and one way of doing so is by using the conventions of noir as tools for \"discussing ecological crises and abuses [...] exposing the criminal acts they involve in their violent effects on people and the environment\" (1236).
