ABOUT

A multicultural perspective on steampunk

This is the tumblr associated with Beyond Victoriana, the oldest-running blog about multicultural steampunk and retro-futurism--that is, steampunk outside of a Western-dominant, Eurocentric framework. All of the steampunkery here focuses on non-Western cultures, underrepresented minorities in Western histories (Asian / Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, First Nation, Hispanic, black / African & other marginalized identities), and the cultural intersection between the West and the non-West.

The Copper Claw

19th century Spanish inventor and political radical Narcís Monturiol invented the first working submarines called Ictineo I and II. Today, there’s a project called Ictineo-3, where today’s scientists are using Monturiol’s original plans and modern-day materials in order to build a new incarnation of his famous underwater vessel.  (Thanks Elisabet Roselló for the heads-up & the link!)
