Cet article se penche sur le recueil ebban an’ flowan (2015) d’Alec Finlay, Laura Watts et Alistair Peebles qu’il aborde sous l’angle de la théorie genettienne de la paratextualité. Il examine les façons dont production culturelle et énergie renouvelable peuvent se croiser en tenant compte des langues, traditions et communautés locales. En se concentrant sur les seuils du texte, cet article analyse les aspects multimédias d’ebban an’ flowan et les stratégies développées dans le recueil afin de valoriser la culture régionale des îles Orcades, entre attachement au passé complexe de l’archipel et innovation technologique. Depuis le champ des sciences humaines et sociales, l’article cherche à démontrer le potentiel d’une œuvre littéraire à intégrer les techniques modernes liées à l’énergie marémotrice dans un avenir durable pour les communautés maritimes.
