Film has taken a powerful position alongside the global
environmental movement, from didactic documentaries to the fantasy
pleasures of commercial franchises. This book investigates in
particular film's complex role in representing ecological traumas.
Eco-trauma cinema represents the harm we, as humans, inflict upon
our natural surroundings, or the injuries we sustain from nature in
its unforgiving iterations. The term encompasses both circumstances
because these seemingly distinct instances of ecological harm are
often related, and even symbiotic: the traumas we perpetuate in an
ecosystem through pollution and unsustainable resource management
inevitably return to harm us. Contributors to this volume engage
with eco-trauma cinema in its three general forms: accounts of
people who are traumatized by the natural world, narratives that
represent people or social processes which traumatize the
environment or its species, and stories that depict the aftermath
of ecological catastrophe. The films they examine represent a
central challenge of our age: to overcome our disavowal of
environmental crises, to reflect on the unsavoury forces reshaping
the planet's ecosystems, and to restructure the mechanisms
responsible for the state of the earth.
