In 2008, the editors published a well-cited journal paper arguing
that while scholarly work on media representations of environmental
issues had made substantial progress in textual analysis there had
been much less work on visual representations. This is surprising
given the increasingly visual nature of media and communication,
and in light of emerging evidence that the environment is
visualized through the use of increasingly symbolic and iconic
images. Addressing these matters, this volume marks out the present
state of the field and contains chapters that represent fresh and
exciting high quality scholarly work now emerging on visual
environmental communication. These include a range of fascinating
and often alarming topics which draw on a variety of methods and
forms of visual communication. The book demonstrates that research
needs to think much more widely about what we mean by the 'visual'
which plays a massive yet under-researched role in the politics and
ideology of public understanding and misunderstanding of and the
environment and environmental problems. The book is of relevance to
students and researchers in media and communication studies,
cultural studies, film and visual studies, geography, sociology,
politics and other disciplines with an interest in the politics of
visual environmental communication. This book was published as a
special issue of Environmental Communication: A Journal of Nature
and Culture.
