"This edited volume interrogates the role of media technologies in the formation of environments, understood both as physical spaces and epistemological constructs about them. Using the concept of 'environing media', the book advances a deeper understanding of how media processes - defined here as the storage, process, and transmission of data - influence human-Earth relations. Virtually all aspects of the interconnected global ecological crisis can be related to the intensification and acceleration of scaling up the human imprint on the planet by technological means. Combining ideas from the humanities, arts, and humanistic social sciences, Environing Media offers a perspective on how we entered the current geological epoch - the Anthropocene. The ten chapters explore colonial, planetary and elemental environing media, with cases including Indigenous history, ocean monitoring, computational history, climate modelling, environmental history, the air as medium, the biosphere and the Earth system. Drawing upon a breadth of examples and expertise in history, anthropology, geography, cultural history, science and technology studies, and media studies, the book discovers a novel approach to human-Earth histories that demonstrates how technologies have mediated between humans and environments and in the process contributed to a societal feedback loop between knowing and doing environment, each impacting the other. Environing Media is a timely addition for scholars and upper-level students in environmental humanities and media studies"-- Provided by publisher.

Was haben Greenpeace, Nike, die Aktivistengruppe Otpor und der Virgin-Milliardär Richard Branson gemeinsam? Sie wissen, was eine Mindbomb ist – und wie man sie zündet. Lernen auch Sie die gegenkulturelle Gewalt schlagkräftiger Werbekampagnen kennen und nutzen Sie die „Gedankenbombe“ für den Erfolg Ihrer eigenen Kommunikations- und Marketingstrategie. Das Konzept der Mindbombs wurde von den Greenpeace-Gründern Bob Hunter und Rex Weyler entwickelt. Inspiriert von den medientheoretischen Schriften ihres kanadischen Landsmanns Marshall McLuhan schufen sie ein Kampagnenkonzept, dessen Ergebnisse sich längst ins kollektive Gedächtnis eingebrannt haben. Der Soziologe und Werbefachmann Martin Ludwig Hofmann besuchte Rex Weyler und andere Medienexperten. Er beschreibt die wechselvolle Geschichte dieses Kommunikationskonzepts, beleuchtet die strategischen Implikationen und gibt Tipps für die Praxis – inklusive Anleitung zum Selbstbau einer Mindbomb.

For the last twenty years ecology, the last great political movement of the 20th century, has fired the imaginations not only of political activists but of popular movements throughout the industrialised world. EcoMedia is an enquiry into the popular mediations of environmental concerns in popular film and television since the 1980s. Arranged in a series of case studies on bio-security, relationships with animals, bioethics and biological sciences, over-fishing, eco-terrorism, genetic modification and global warming, EcoMedia offers close readings of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings , Miyazake's Princess Mononoke , The Perfect Storm , X-Men and X2 , The Day After Tomorrow and the BBC's drama Edge of Darkness and documentary The Blue Planet. Drawing on the thinking of Flusser, Luhmann, Latour, Agamben and Bookchin, EcoMedia discusses issues from whether animals can draw and why we like to draw animals, to how narrative films can imagine global processes, and whether wonder is still an ethical pleasure. Building on the thesis that popular film and television can tell us a great deal about the state of contemporary beliefs and anxieties, the book builds towards an argument that the polis , the human world, cannot survive without a three way partnership with physis and techne , the green world and the technological.
