Abstract The Earth is actually a water globe. The deteriorating ecology of the water globe and the increasing tension between human and waters push ecocriticism forward to the new phrase of Blue Studies. Water materialization critique is a key discourse in Blue Studies. With the ideological guideline of anthropocentrism and the practical weapon of modern technology, waters around the globe are being treated as objects of material exploitation, which consequently results in an endangered water globe. The only way out is to adjust human ecological niche and those of the nonhuman others, abandon the mindset of anthropocentrism, and survive humbly and appreciatively with the water on the water globe.
