"Moving Environments: Affect, Emotion, Ecology, and Film,"
international scholars investigate how films portray human
emotional relationships with the more-than-human world and how such
films act upon their viewers' emotions. Emotion and affect are the
basic mechanisms that connect us to our environment, shape our
knowledge, and motivate our actions. Contributors explore how film
represents and shapes human emotion in relation to different
environments and what role time, place, and genre play in these
affective processes. Individual essays resituate well-researched
environmental films such as "An Inconvenient Truth" and "March of
the Penguins" by paying close attention to their emotionalizing
strategies, and bring to our attention the affective qualities of
films that have so far received little attention from ecocritics,
such as Stan Brakhage's "Dog Star Man."
The collection opens a new discursive space at the disciplinary
intersection of film studies, affect studies, and a growing body of
ecocritical scholarship. It will be of interest not only to
scholars and students working in the field of ecocriticism and the
environmental humanities, but for everyone with an interest in our
emotional responses to film.
