Résumé:

While ecology has received little systematic attention within art history, its visibility and significance has grown in relation to the threats of climate change and environmental destruction. By engaging artists' widespread aesthetic and political engagement with environmental conditions and processes around the globe - and looking at cutting-edge theoretical, political, and cultural developments in the Global South and North - this text offers a contribution to the intersecting fields of art history, ecology, visual culture, geography, and environmental politics. The author, an art historian, considers the creative proposals of artists and activists for ways of life that bring together ecological sustainability, climate justice, and radical democracy, at a time when such creative proposals are urgently needed.--adapted from publisher's description.
