The environment is perhaps most misunderstood as a static place,
somewhere "out there," separated from the practices of our everyday
lives. Given this assumption, environmental movements and concerns
have remained mostly marginalized or denigrated in cultural studies
publications, conferences, and presentations. Recent global
developments have made changing this oversight and, at times,
direct resistance to engaging environmental concerns a new
priority. This edited collection illustrates an appreciation of the
dynamic, palpable, and significant ways the environment permeates
culture (and vice versa), as well as a collective commitment to the
ways that cultural studies has more to offer-and to learn
from-taking environmental matters to heart. Like foundational
categories of identity, economics, and historical context, this
collection reminds us why the environment is and should be
considered relevant to any work done in the name of "cultural
studies." Including research from four continents and across media,
the authors offer insights on timely topics such as food, tourism,
human/animal relations, forests, queer theory, indigenous rights,
and water. This book was published as a special issue of Cultural
Studies.
