I’m happy to share the news that the Routledge Handbook of Ecomedia Studies<\/a><\/em> is out — and is entirely open-access, which is especially thrilling, as Routledge handbooks can otherwise get pretty expensive. It’s a 36-chapter mega-volume that tries to define the field and lay out some of its most exciting international contours. The volume is the culmination of three years of work between co-editors Antonio L\u00f3pez (whose initiative powered the process), Miriam Tola, Stephen Rust, Kiu-wai Chu, Alenda Chang, and myself, working with about 46 other authors from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It includes my co-written (with Ant\u00f3nio Lopez) chapter defining “ecomedia” (“When Do Media Become Eco<\/em>media?”<\/a>) and theoretical chapter on the “three ecologies” (“Three Ecologies: Ecomediality as Ontology<\/a>“), as well as 34 other chapters (plus an Afterword by Sean Cubitt) grouped into five sections: “Ecomedia Theory,” “Ecomateriality,” “Political Ecology,” “Ecocultures,” and “Eco-Affects.” The authors are arguably a who’s who of the burgeoning field, covering a range of topics, which the back cover lists as including “infrastructures, supply and manufacturing chains, energy, e-waste, labor, ecofeminism, African and Indigenous ecomedia, environmental justice, environmental media governance, ecopolitical satire, and digital ecologies.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read or download the entire roughly 400-page volume, or individual chapters, from the Routledge Open Access web site, by clicking here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
