Abstract
In this chapter I try to put the conceptualisation of the Oceanic Turbulent Materiality (Steinberg & Peters, 2015;Palermo, 2024)towork with the Blue Humanities and posthuman feminist New Materialism, as discussed in the second section. In the third section, these are interwoven with Nnedi Okorafor’s novel Lagoon (2014), in which the alternative to capitalist extractivism is positioned in the west coast of Nigeria, the neuralgic reservoir for rethinking worlds outside the colonial violence of racial capitalism
