Voici un article sur le Steampunk en anglais.

Voici un extrait :

Steampunk is adventure, fantasy. It hones in on an historical time, the Victorian Era, when many industrial machines had yet to be invented and there were still unexplored worlds a steamship away. Wonderment and astonishment were everyday experiences as technology progressed rapidly, and the world began its long journey towards hyper-connectedness. The Internet Age has made our modern society a place seemingly devoid of anything left to explore or discover. And so Steampunk appears to be mining the past for a time when the world was ripe with possibility and adventure. Steampunk is a way of creating sublime awe within an apathetic, overly-connected, jaded culture.

The literary origins of Steampunk during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and how it began to congeal as a lifestyle in the first few years of the 21st century, have been explored in a few reliable sources – see Steampunk Magazine, especially A History of Misapplied Technology in issue #2, and The Users Guide To Steampunk in issue #5. Also consult the vast reserve on STEAMPUNKOPEDIA, – and so I shall spend the remainder of this article focusing on the creative spirit running deep within the brass veins of this expanding subculture.
