Media and the Ecological Crisis is a collaborative work of
interdisciplinary writers engaged in mapping, understanding and
addressing the complex contribution of media to the current
ecological crisis. The book is informed by a fusion of scholarly,
practitioner, and activist interests to inform, educate, and
advocate for real, environmentally sound changes in design, policy,
industrial, and consumer practices. Aligned with an emerging area
of scholarship devoted to identifying and analysing the material
physical links of media technologies, cultural production, and
environment, it contributes to the project of greening media
studies by raising awareness of media technology's concrete
environmental effects.

Since its inception in the 19th century, photography has brought to
light a vast array of represented subjects. Always situated in some
spatial order, photographic representations have been operatively
underpinned by social, technical, and institutional mechanisms.
Geographically, bodily, and geometrically, the camera has
positioned its subjects in social structures and hierarchies, in
recognisable localities, and in iconic depth constructions which,
although they show remarkable variation, nevertheless belong
specifically to the enterprises of the medium. This is the subject
of Representational Machines: How photography enlists the workings
of institutional technologies in search of establishing new iconic
and social spaces. Together, the contributions to this edited
volume span historical epochs, social environments, technological
possibilities, and genre distinctions. Presenting several distinct
ways of producing space photographically, this book opens a new and
important field of inquiry for photography research.
