Fantasy Isn’t (Only) Escapism
From a woman in emergency humanitarian and development response work, why speculative fiction isn’t running away from reality.

Wondering whether this works... just in case you are, like me, trying to avoid certain ongoing musical events, feel free to boost this and add here your favourite small band or artist that never got the attention deserved. No matter the genre or whether still active or not.
Starting:
Unterwegs dann das erste intensivere Rot des Jahres, hinter dem eigenen Gartentor. Dickicht, übersät mit Blüten und dazwischen die Laube. Bienen im Flieder. Sonnenuntergang und lange Schatten. So kalt die Luft, so warm der Augenblick.

Ein Stück abseits der Route und ein wenig über der Stadt. Mittendrin und dabei genug, ohne wirklich beteiligt sein zu müssen: Dialoge in fremden Sprachen, nah, fern. Ein paar Bücher, ein paar Worte. Und eine Blume im Glas. Wolkenwelten. Noch kein Regen.

...Edith Nesbit's "Psammead" series not only engaged me with narrative but also suggested to me, particularly in the second and third books, that "another world is possible".
I am sure that such a suggestion formed part of Nesbit's authorial intention, given that she was a committed socialist and founding member of the Fabian Society.
Fantasy in literature is sometimes criticized as "escapist". Whenever such a label is applied to disparage this or other genres, I respond by conceding that escapism might well be a motive for readers or audiences; I then ask what are they trying to escape from and where are they trying to escape to.
The politics of escapism are by no means straightforwardly quietistic or socially soporific.

Fliederpause, Sonnenschirm, Sturmböen. Ein Güterzug. Unterbrochene Leitungen ununterbrochener Fluß. Grünfink zwischen den Ästen, und Spuren der Waschbären auf feuchter Erde. Irgendwoanders, zumindest für ein paar Minuten.

4pm and on with the wind. The city behind, the city ahead. Fragments of perceptions shaping an illusion of fast movement, passing buildings, crossroads, railroad tracks, cars, busses and supermarket storefronts. Devoid of focus and no need for a meaning but all these colours!
Je suis giga déprimé heureusement il y a la musique-doudou, celle qui m'emporte loin des emmerdements, du pur #escapism pour vieux.
Du coup je replonge dans le post-rock space et tripant, avec encore un album que j'avais pas aimé quand c'est sorti encore un truc de chez Constellation Records, et je re-découvre 20 ans après que c'est trop bien en fait :
Do Make Say Think - & Yet & Yet (full album)
