| Abstract | " Confronting the Climate Crisis: Activism, Technology and Ecoaesthetics examines how activism, media, and creative practices shape our understanding of and response to the climate crisis. Across media studies, environmental humanities, and artistic research, this collection explores how technologies, movements, and aesthetics influence ecological discourse. Fifteen chapters interrogate a range of case studies, from student activism and climate-related art to how video games, memes, and machine learning frame environmental collapse. The collection also considers how experimental cinema, podcasts, and documentary practices can move beyond entertainment to foster meaningful action. Highlighting politics, technology, and aesthetics, this book offers a vital resource for scholars, artists, and activists seeking to navigate and challenge contemporary climate narratives. It argues that creative and technological interventions are essential to rethinking our relationship with the planet and shaping new modes of ecological action." -- Provided by publisher. |
