New Environmental Humanities and Visual Arts Publication

25 Jul New Environmental Humanities and Visual Arts Publication

A new environmental humanities and visual arts collection, The Anthropocene and Visual Culture in Australia, will be available from 28th July via Routledge:
https://www.routledge.com/The-Anthropocene-and-Visual-Culture-in-Australia/Williams-McDonald/p/book/9781032997728

Edited by Linda Williams and Helen McDonald, the book features writers from various fields in visual culture, history, and ecocritical theory who give timely accounts of how Australian visual media represents, interprets, predicts, or obscures such environmental events in relation to the Anthropocene. The chapters focus on the visualisation of Australian ecology across a range of media including ancient rock art, television and film, photography, visual art, digital maps, and AI.

By bringing Australian critical perspectives to the challenges of the Anthropocene, this book offers a new environmental approach to Australian culture in the context of the global issues of climate change, extinction, and colonialism.

Please consider ordering the book for your institutional libraries and notifying your colleagues and professional networks.
