By examining negotiations of racial and ethnic identities as central to the history of religious environmentalism, this work complicates assumptions that religious environmentalism is a direct expression of theology, ethics, or religious beliefs.

Описание: Traces a tradition of ironic and irreverent environmentalism, asking us to rethink the movement’s reputation for gloom and doomActivists today strive to educate the public about climate change, but sociologists have found that the more we know about alarming issues, the less likely we are to act. Meanwhile, environmentalists have acquired a reputation as gloom-and-doom killjoys. Bad Environmentalism identifies contemporary texts that respond to these absurdities and ironies through absurdity and irony-as well as camp, frivolity, irreverence, perversity, and playfulness. Nicole Seymour develops the concept of “bad environmentalism”: cultural thought that employs dissident affects and sensibilities to reflect critically on our current moment and on mainstream environmental activism. From the television show Wildboyz to the short film series Green Porno, Seymour shows that this tradition of thought is widespread-spanning animation, documentary, fiction film, performance art, poetry, prose fiction, social media, and stand-up comedy since at least 1975. Seymour argues that these texts reject self-righteousness and sentimentality, undercutting public negativity toward activism and questioning basic environmentalist assumptions: that love and reverence are required for ethical relationships with the nonhuman and that knowledge is key to addressing problems like climate change.Funny and original, Bad Environmentalism champions the practice of alternative green politics. From drag performance to Indigenous comedy, Seymour expands our understanding of how environmental art and activism can be pleasurable, even in a time of undeniable crisis.

Описание: Located in the heart of England`s Lake District, the placid waters of Thirlmere seem to be the embodiment of pastoral beauty.

Описание: How should we share the truth about the environmental crisis? At a moment when even the most basic facts about ecology and the climate face contestation and contempt, environmental advocates are at an impasse. Many have turned to social media in order to shift the tide --but what if their strategy is not only futile, but dangerous?
The Truth about Nature follows environmental actors as they turn to digital media and social networking platforms to save nature. It documents how conservation efforts can be trapped and transformed in the political economy of platforms and the curation of their algorithmic feeds. Developing a novel account of 'post-truth' as an expression of power under platform capitalism, Bram B scher shows how environmental actors attempt to mediate between structural forms of platform power and the contingent histories and contexts of particular environmental issues. Bringing efforts at wildlife protection in Southern Africa into dialogue with a sweeping analysis of truth and power in the twenty-first century, B scher makes the case for a new environmental politics: one that rekindles the slowly reemerging art of speaking truth to power.

The 1970s witnessed the emergence of a global environmental movement in response to rampant resource extraction. This moment gave rise to a celebrated 'green-black alliance' between environmentalists and Indigenous groups in Australia. However, in recent years, this relationship has come under increased critical scrutiny in Australia and elsewhere, spurred in part by the global mining boom and continuing concerns about the effects of climate change. As the relationship between environmentalists and Indigenous peoples is subjected to renewed public inquiry, this book undertakes the vital task of submitting Indigenous-environmentalist relations to detailed analysis rather than broad-based summary.
Environmentalists' relations with both Indigenous people and images of indigeneity have long been unstable. This edited collection brings together leading anthropologists, social scientists, activists and writers to subject the Indigenous-environmentalist relation to rigorous, empirical inquiry, exploring possibilities for alliances and interrelations while also probing disagreements and dissonances. Examining noted controversies and campaigns such as the Wild Rivers Act and James Price Point, and key issues such as mining, native title rights, 'feral' species, forestry, national parks and payment for environmental services, the authors in this collection explore contemporary entanglements and engagements between environmentalists and Indigenous groups in Australia. The insights generated here have relevance beyond Australia as scholars investigate the politics of indigeneity in the present moment, and consider the economic futures of Indigenous minorities. Significantly, the collection involves both Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors subjecting environmentalists to a kind of anthropological analysis, asking, for example, how environmentalists think about the categories of 'modern', 'nature' and 'indigeneity'? How do their conceptualisations shape their practices, relationships and activism?
Unstable Relations addresses the past and emerging political tensions that mark 'green-black' encounters; provides fine-grained ethnographic case studies
