Intermedial Ecocriticism: The Climate Crisis Through Art and Media provides an extensive understanding of the climate crisis as it is represented in a number of medial forms, including scientific reports, popular science, graphic novels, documentaries, websites, feature films, and advertising. Theoretically, this is the first open access book that combines two important theories from the humanities: ecocriticism and intermedial studies. The book carefully develops Intermedial Ecocriticism as a method of investigating how climate crisis is represented and communicated through diverse media types. The chapters each include a comparative analysis of two or three specific media products and how they mediate the climate crisis.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

All too often overlooked in the reports on recent alarms about climate change is more thoughtful attention to how these alarms get dispersed through scientific papers, news reports, fictional stories, films, graphic novels, and videogames. Arguing that different media carry the potential to engage audiences in vitally different ways, Jørgen Bruhn and Niklas Salmose present a powerful case for giving experts in media and intermediality a seat at the table of Environmental Humanities. Communication scholars, media analysts, and other humanists tired of standing restlessly on the sidelines as the world burns will welcome the results of their research and their invitation to consider new ways of understanding and acting on the latest reports on the climate crisis, and reports yet to come.
