Introduction: From the heroic sublime to environments of global decline -- Antarctica and the contemporary sublime in intersectional feminist art practices -- Reclaiming the Arctic through feminist and Black aesthetic perspectives -- At memory's edge : collaborative perspectives on climate trauma in Arctic cinema -- Disappearing ice and missing data : contemporary art and indigenous and collaborative approaches / Lisa E. Bloom and E. Glasberg -- Viewers as citizen scientists : archiving detritus / Lisa E. Bloom and E. Glasberg -- The logic of oil and ice : reimagining documentary cinema in the Capitalocene -- Critical polar art leads to social activism : beyond the disengaged gaze -- Epilogue: Message from the future.
Summary: "Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics considers the way artists, filmmakers, and activists use polar art to illustrate our current environmental crises as well as to reimagine our world and the ways we engage with it. Examining a wide range of contemporary art, photography, and film, Lisa E. Bloom shows how these works demonstrate the ways that our planetary crises are linked to climate change as well as a long history of colonialism and capitalism. Bloom insists on linking racial, sexual, and gendered discriminatory violence to wider environmental destruction, and she engages feminist, Black, indigenous, and non-western perspectives to address the exigencies of what we are experiencing now as the Anthropocene, or the new geological period characterized by ecosystem failures, rising sea levels, and climate-led migrations"-- Provided by publisher.
