The Routledge Handbook of Ecomedia Studies (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The Routledge Handbook of Ecomedia Studies gathers leading work by critical scholars in this burgeoning field. Redressing the lack of environmental perspectives in the study of media, ecomedia studies asserts that media are in and about the environment, and environments are socially and materially mediated.

The book gives form to this new area of study and brings together diverse scholarly contributions to explore and give definition to the field. The Handbook highlights five critical areas of ecomedia scholarship: ecomedia theory, ecomateriality, political ecology, ecocultures, and eco-affects. Within these areas, authors navigate a range of different topics including infrastructures, supply and manufacturing chains, energy, e-waste, labor, ecofeminism, African and Indigenous ecomedia, environmental justice, environmental media governance, ecopolitical satire, and digital ecologies. The result is a holistic volume that provides an in-depth and comprehensive overview of the current state of the field, as well as future developments.

This volume will be an essential resource for students, educators, and scholars of media studies, cultural studies, film, environmental communication, political ecology, science and technology studies, and the environmental humanities.

Rezensionen

"This Handbook undertakes a crucial reboot of media studies in light of the global climate crisis, reckoning with an array of urgent planetary matters. Assembling the most lucid thinkers in ecomedia studies, the book confronts the entanglement of media and ecology and unfurls vital forms of research and action."

Lisa Parks, Distinguished Professor of Media Studies, UC Santa Barbara

"Media Studies should always have been Ecomedia Studies, but it wasn't. A generation of pioneer scholars worked to change that, and most of them have written chapters for this absolutely essential collection. This book will from now on be a key reference-point."

Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political

Science

"This collection is extremely useful in both being aware of the earlier waves of eco-criticism while stating out clearly and in depth that the only way forward for media studies is with ecology at its core - not just as one 'theme' but as the very essence of how politics and planetary futures unfold. The Handbook will become essential reading."

Jussi Parikka, Aarhus University, author of Insect Media and A Geology of Media

"The Routledge Handbook of Ecomedia Studies is a timely constellation of essays that whirls into the elements, borderlands, digital worlds, energetics, and spheres of affect-addressing how media not only represent the environment but are fundamentally of the environment. This book will be a valuable reference for years to come."
