Environmental ethics presents and defends a systematic and
comprehensive account of the moral relation between human beings
and their natural environment and assumes that human behaviour
toward the natural world can and is governed by moral norms. In
contemporary society, film has provided a powerful instrument for
the moulding of such ethical attitudes. Through a close examination
of the medium, Environmental Ethics and Film explores how
historical ethical values can be re-imagined and re-constituted for
more contemporary audiences. Building on an extensive
back-catalogue of eco-film analysis, the author focuses on a
diverse selection of contemporary films which target audiences'
ethical sensibilities in very different ways. Each chapter focuses
on at least three close readings of films and documentaries,
examining a wide range of environmental issues as they are
illustrated across contemporary Hollywood films. This book is an
invaluable resource for students and scholars of environmental
communication, film studies, media and cultural studies,
environmental philosophy and ethics.
