Communicating a World-in-Crisis

Produktbeschreibung

We live in a world increasingly defined by systemic, deepening and compounding crises. They threaten not only future human existence but also the planetary web-of-life. With the help of academics, creative practitioners and activists, this book explores some of the innovative ways in which different media, communicative fields, and creative practices are seeking to make a difference. From different forms of journalism and participative documentary to climate photography and ecosophical film; from radical theatre, eco-literature and eco-art to green festivals, popular music and immersive museums; and from journalism training in the climate emergency and sustainability education to communicating with 'whole intelligence' and 'integrated intelligence' beyond AI (artificial intelligence).

This panoramic approach enables us to see how diverse communicative fields are engaging with some of the most critical concerns of our times - and what can be learned, shared and developed further in the challenging years ahead.

Rezensionen

"We've morphed from local creatures into global beings and we need a new vocabulary to convey this: Symbiocene, Integrated Intelligence, Eco-Communicative Democracy. These are new terms used in discussing a desirable future in this important book. A must for anyone wanting to communicate ways out of a world in crisis." -Herbert Girardet, author, co-founder World Future Council, member of the Club of Rome
