Bibliography
An accessible and timely contribution to the ever-growing conversation on texts and media in the environmental humanities. This much-needed book makes an original case for an intermedial approach to textual analysis and also provides new avenues for environmental and science communication.
— Roman Bartosch, University of Cologne
Intermedial Ecocriticism offers an inspiring take on the question why the dramatic scientific data on the climate crisis has not yet resulted in massive global action. The writers argue that the reason lies not in the much-repeated claim that the climate crisis would just be too overwhelming to be represented; instead, they defend the need for a nuanced, intermedial understanding of the reasons why the existing representations succeed, or fail, to convince. This book offers just such an understanding. A crystal clear set of intermedial analyses yields detailed insights in what different popular and artistic ecomedia can, and simply cannot do, to move and mobilize their audiences. The book is a great inspiration for all those who want to understand, or improve, the role of media in the climate crisis.
