In Wild Blue Media, Melody Jue destabilizes terrestrial-based ways
of knowing and reorients our perception of the world by considering
the ocean itself as a media environment-a place where the weight
and opacity of seawater transforms how information is created,
stored, transmitted, and perceived. By recentering media theory on
and under the sea, Jue calls attention to the differences between
perceptual environments and how we think within and through them as
embodied observers. In doing so, she provides media studies with
alternatives to familiar theoretical frameworks, thereby
challenging scholars to navigate unfamiliar oceanic conditions of
orientation, materiality, and saturation. Jue not only examines
media about the ocean-science fiction narratives, documentary
films, ocean data visualizations, animal communication methods, and
underwater art-but reexamines media through the ocean, submerging
media theory underwater to estrange it from terrestrial habits of
perception while reframing our understanding of mediation,
objectivity, and metaphor.
