“These essays present challenging and thought-provoking material that will be of prticular interest to scholars in the fields of cultural studies, communications and environmental sociology. Scholarship focusing on the ways in which popular culture and the environment influence each other will be of increasing importance in the coming years. Enviropop has set the stage for some fascinating academic dialogue on this front”–Alternatives Journal
Book Description
Although much scholarly and critical attention has been paid to the relationship between rhetoric and environmental issues, media and environmental issues, and politics and environmental issues, no book has yet focused on the relationship between popular culture and environmental issues. This collection of essays provides a rigorous and multifaceted rhetorical and critical perspective on the ways in which the language and imagery of nature is incorporated strategically into various popular culture texts--ranging from greeting cards to advertisements to supermarket tabloids. As a distinguished group of scholars reveals, our notions about the environment and environmentalism are both reflected in and shaped by our popular culture in fascinating ways never previously examined in an academic context.
