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
