Drawing on the expansive understanding of mediation in the Canadian communication tradition deriving from Harold A. Innis and Marshall McLuhan and on eco-criticism of media environments, \u003ci\u003eToxic Media Ecologies\u003c\/i\u003e foregrounds the objective subjectiveness of crises and considers how we as subjects are connected to each other through crises. Critical essays presented in Part I interrogate topics ranging from money and feminist science fiction to the online Alt-Right and racism. Parts II and III present theoretical reflections on research-creation engagements with pedagogies, ecology and poetry, as well as design, care-work, performance art and pedagogical games. Overall, this volume elaborates on the thesis that ecological crises are fundamentally historical, political, and cultural and presents a novel juxtaposition and comparison between cultural studies and research-creation critical approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInnovative and transdisciplinary in its approach, \u003ci\u003eToxic Media Ecologies\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental communication and media, environmental humanities, environmental justice, political ecology and media studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSourayan Mookerjea\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sociology at the University of Alberta, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonia Mounsef \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Drama and Media Studies at the University of Alberta, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaylor \u0026amp; Francis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoutledge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781041358602\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.63\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63534431633548,"sku":"9781041358602","price":210.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781041358602","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
