Examines how images of accumulation help open up the climate to
political mobilization The current epoch is one of accumulation:
not only of capital but also of raw, often unruly material, from
plastic in the ocean and carbon in the atmosphere to people,
buildings, and cities. Alongside this material growth, image-making
practices embedded within the fields of art and architecture have
proven to be fertile, mobile, and capacious. Images of accumulation
help open up the climate to cultural inquiry and political
mobilization and have formed a cultural infrastructure focused on
the relationships between humans, other species, and their
environments. The essays in Accumulation address this cultural
infrastructure and the methodological challenges of its analysis.
They offer a response to the relative invisibility of the climate
now seen as material manifestations of social behavior.
Contributors outline opportunities and ambitions of visual
scholarship as a means to encounter the challenges emergent in the
current moment: how can climate become visible, culturally and
politically? Knowledge of climatic instability can change
collective behavior and offer other trajectories,
counteraccumulations that draw the present into a different, more
livable, future. Contributors: Emily Apter, New York U; Hans
