Media Ecologies (Englischsprachig)

Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

On the one hand, it opens up the possibility of understanding media in the sense of ecologies, i.e. not simply as individual media (radio, television, computers, etc.), but also in terms of media networks and milieus. On the other hand, it explores the fact that ecological knowledge, ecological awareness and ecological perception are always based on media-related and mediatised matters, i.e. it demonstrates that it is “the” media that make the problem of the environment recognisable as such in the first place – from photographs of the Blue Planet, by way of maps, graphs and curves, to computer models of climate development.
