Sustainable Media: Critical Approaches to Media and Environment

This exciting new book places its critical focus at the intersection of environmental textual meanings and media ecologies. While existing volumes on environmental media have very often concentrated on a single genre or media format, this anthology construes "media and environment" as an expansive rubric. Contributors explore the questions: what is a green, environmental, or sustainable medium and what are the environmental questions that need to be posed to the field of media studies if we are to contribute to this urgent discussion about the earth in balance? Organized around three general approaches to understanding media and the environment--"Media Environments and the Geographic Imagination," "Sensing, Measuring, and Modeling," and "Environmental Media Processes"--essays in the book foreground a set of new methodologies, analytics, and critical approaches, which will hopefully open up new directions in the study of media and the environment.
